Hi
New to this forum, looks full of experts and know whats. I have an issue when I'm recording. E.G When I put a music track on track 1 and try to record my voice one any other track it records track one. I'm not sure if it is the interface or my mixer or the program I'm using. Anyone know what the deal is and how to fix it? Thanks. |

I can hear my voice clearly, but it dose not record my voice. And it records computer sounds only. This post has been edited by DVRDCT: Thu 17 Apr 2008, 01:59 |

HI DVRDCT, You are correct, there many knowledgeable people on this site (I am not one of them), however, I Have never known any of them to claim to be psychic, so PLEASE, give them a little more help. Let them know what equipment you are using and exactly what you do when trying to record. I feel confident someone will be able to help you then. Good luck Top of |

DVRDCT,
what software are you using to record? When you are trying to record your voice onto one of the other tracks and it records onto Track 1, is the second track 'armed' and ready to record? Is it set to use the input you have your microphone attached to? As Top Of states, a little more information will allow us to help you out. Type of recording interface (HW, SW, Computer, Studio In A Box, etc), a complete description of what you are doing when you try to record (putting an existing musical composition on a stereo track and adding vocals to it, recording single tracks one at a time to then mix together into a final product, etc.) Let us know. peace. -------------------- |

Good luck Top of LOL I thought it was a pretty generic question but I guess not. I'm running Cubase SX, with a Creative Sound blaster audigy 2 zs interface, and a Behringer Eurorack UB802 mixer/ I had the set up ready before, but had to reinstall everything as I reinstalled windows, and it seems my sound blaster sound card is playing up onlyu the interface not the actual card plays sound. Hope this gives a clearer picture. QUOTE (deaconblue @ Thu 17 Apr 2008, 07:39) DVRDCT, what software are you using to record?

I have set up a ready mixed composition on track 1, and am trying to record on track two, however track 2 dubs track 1 as I try to record just voice, Track 2 did record my voice at one stage but also dubbed track 1's composition with my voice. Also as I was playing around with the record button on track 2, my friend messaged me and it recorded the blup sound. It seems like it is recording sounds only from the computer. |

Check you input and monitor settings.
Soundblaster....yikes!?!? you should probably invest in an audio card that is better suited for recording. Also this IS a Mac forum.

It sounds like a routing problem. In your sound recording control panel, have you got it set to 'record what I hear' or something like that? In that mode, whatever is played through your sound card (system sounds, output from SX) will be recorded as soon as you arm any track in any software.
Hope that helps- but you might be better off if you need further help on a dedicated PC forum, or perhaps on one of the Cubase forums. |

"Sounds like a routing problem," DUH!
The real problem is that I can't trace down routing in a digital system, it's not going to tell me where the break exists (between the keyboard and the GUI?), and I darn sure can't see it. I have files I recorded last week. They played fine that first time, and I saved them. The other night, and tonight, I opened them, both from the icon and from within Cubase, I get the wave-form on my screen, I GET NO AUDIO! The files are there in the pool, but I get NO AUDIO, no signal at the interface no signal at the mixer window. I could have aligned at least ten 24-track analogs decks in the time I've wasted trying to figure this out. -------------------- NO, you can't have any more monitor! 130dB is quite enough!

Maybe check in your preferences box under audio and make sure that your interface is selected for input and output.....
