Tracktion Software

I apologize if this has been covered, but searching for "audio" or "first beat" gives a few too many hits to browse through.

Two things I need your help with, people:
I'm on Tracktion 1.6, I have an Audigy2 sound card and all my audio inputs (mic, guitar, etc) go through a hardware preamp and mixer into the LINE IN on the Audigy.

1. When I hook up an audio input (Mix L+R) to a track, I hear BOTH the line in signal directly and the track in Tracktion. I mean, even if I mute the audio track, I still hear it, and it's not going through the effects I might have set up for it. It seems like it's bypassing Tracktion altogether. To get rid of the direct signal, I have to go to settings and disable and re-enable the audio device. After that, it works as expected (I now only hear the audio going through Tracktion). Is there something I can do to avoid having to go through this silly exercise?

2. I know this has been mentioned earlier, but I still have to ask. Is there any way I can hear the first beat of the first bar when rewired to Reason?

Cheers, T

1. Ditch the Audigy! (or try the 3rd party drivers available)

2. Wait for T2

Yeah - I got some unexpected bills that puts off all my planned purchases - Reason 3, Tracktion 2, new soundcard, monitors, keyboard and guitar were all on my list for this spring, but now they're probably not on my list until next spring.

So I'm looking for solutions that cost somewhere between zero and nothing. I can live with starting all songs on bar two, but that audio thing - jeez.

Which drivers are you using with the Audigy?

Uhm - not sure. Have to check when I get home (at work right now. Working....).
What do you recommend I use?

I used the KX drivers with my SB Live (I still have a MIDI workstation at work using them)

Someone else with an Audigy might know better..

Check the audigy surround mixer and see what is selected in the rec area, also check the sources to see if some kind of loop is happening.
