My experience with the mics built into laptops is that they're *extremely* sensitive.
The distance between your head and the laptop mic is probably easily close enough for the
laptop to pick up the sound from the earpiece.

Hey David,
This may be a silly suggestion, but did your headphones bleed into the microphone during
your second and third recording? The mic might be picking up what was playing back to you
in your headphones. Solo on of your recordings just to make sure and see if the guide
track is still there.
If that's not the case, check the routings tab in Qtractor and see if something is
routed in a weird way. However, I'm guessing you just recorded headphone bleed.
I hope this helps!,

Several years ago I managed to produce some
multi-track midi files using qTractor.
Now I want to do something fairly simple using audio tracks. Just to get myself back
into using qTractor after a very long break, and to find out how to do what I want, I
decided to try something very simple to start with. I want to record a guide track using
my voice, and then record 3 other voice tracks (separately), listening to the guide track
through an earpiece. Then I shall delete the guide track and experiment with altering the
pan settings on two of the other 3 tracks to see if I can get a good stereo effect.
I'm using an HP laptop and its internal microphone, with an earpiece plugged into the
computer's headphone socket; no sound comes from the computer's speakers, of
course.
Recording the guide track is no problem. To record the second track, I set it up as an
unmonitored audio track and set the guide track to solo. I then record the new track
whilst listening to the guide track through the earpiece.
But after recording the second track, even if I delete the guide track, I can still
faintly hear what was on the guide track - in other words, the new track has recorded the
contents of the guide track at the same time as the new input from the microphone. I have
tried this several times, and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong - probably
because I'm a musician and not a sound engineer.
If anyone has the patience to try to steer me though this, I shall be extremely
grateful.
David
