Metronome being recorded directly into audio track

Hello!

I am using Cubasis 3 on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra.

The equipment I have hooked up is:

  • Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen interface
  • Akai MPK Miniplay 3
  • Arturia MicroFreak

When I arm a track with my midi and record with the metronome on, everything is fine during playback. All you hear is the midi.

When I arm a track a record using my MicroFreak, the metronome gets recorded into the actual mix (you can see the spikes in the audio wave).

I have the synth hooked to input 1, my routing input is correct, I’m using headphones so there is no bleed through.

Why is the metronome being recorded directly into the audio on the audio track but not with my midi? It’s driving me insane lol

I’m very new to this and have been trouble shooting for days now.

Thank you in advance!

I’m hoping to god someone responds because I seriously cannot find a reason this is happening :sweat_smile:

In Settings - Audio - Input & Output devices, which input device do you have selected?

The Scarlett 2i2 is what I have selected.
