Analog instruments not responding to record button off.

[hemog]

Hello.
I use Reaper and Win. 10 64 Pro.

I am recording bass guitar, and when the record button on the Bass track is turned off the bass can still be heard.

I'm sure it is just a simple fix but I can't find it. Help, please.

Thank you,
Hemog

Hi. It sounds like you are monitoring the bass directly in some way. How exactly is it routed through your recording interface?

If you are *not* monitoring the bass directly through your audio interface, then make sure that you have "tape auto style" monitoring enabled in Reaper. (It sounds like maybe you don't.)

Per Section 3.14 of the user Guide : "Monitor Input (Tape Auto Style). This option differs from normal input monitoring in that it monitors input only when the transport has stopped or when you are recording. During playback you will hear only the timeline audio, not the input."

Thanks for your help.
Here are my settings. When I turn recording off the volume goes down. Could it be a windows 10 setting?
