Preventing track bleeding in Cakewalk

Cakewalk Home Studio 2
=========================

I imported an mp3 file of music to track 1.

I recorded vocals on track 2 with a microphone.

When playing back and listening to track 2 by itself, (with the mp3 music from track 1 muted); there is the presence of the mp3 music from track 1 mixed in with the vocals on track 2.

Too much hi-hat bleed on the snare mic

Since you guys know a lot of the hardware side, you must know a trick or two on the mic placing science...
I am recording a drum set, everything is fine except for the snare mic getting too much hi-hat signal, I am using a venerable SM57 into an Avalon 737SM (mercenary), using the snare preset...any suggestions..
