How does it sound while you're playing? If it sounds in time while playing then there's a possibility you could be experiencing latency (a delay caused by computer processing) which is causing your additional tracks to lag behind the original tracks. If it's latency, that is most likely a fairly simple problem to fix.

If it's not latency, then you may need to work on playing more steady with a click track. It's definitely not an easy thing to do and takes lots and LOTS of practice. Have you tried playing/practicing with a metronome before? Do you have one that you can use away from your computer? I have a cheap QwikTime metronome that I use for away from 'puter practicing and it works great.
