Well, the inputs were maxed without clipping. So you probably recorded the tracks at the optimum. But what I'm talking about is your mix. I don't know anything about Audacity so hopefully someone will jump in here and help us. After you record, then you're going to be making an mp3 from the mix. So you need to monitor the audio that's going out from the mix when you're making the mp3.

I'm thinking that the bleeding audio is being caused by this merge operation. It's letting a portion of each track into the other to give it a 'stereo image'. In this case you don't want one. If you can, see about forgetting this merge operation. Try sending each track separately, track 1 for left and track 2 for right, when making the mp3.
