Psychocell Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 hi everyone! I have a analog mixer connected to my EMU-0404 soundcard. Ive got everything setup correctly, im wanting to record using a microphone via a program like Cool edit pro, or Audcity? The thing is im not exactly sure how to record yet? Put it this way the microphone is setup in a sense that i can hear playback, but its not recording when im pressing record in Audcity. So what do i need, or need to setup? Thanks guys!

Kalki Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 i think u have selected mic as the recording input source. u have to select line-in if u r using a paper cone mic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychocell Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 ok guys My soundcard to mixer setup is very simple.... This is my mixer http://www.turnkey.co.uk/tkweb/stockdetail...MIX&context=WEB And my soundcard http://www.turnkey.co.uk/tkweb/stockdetail...404&context=WEB The Aux Send Outputs go into my soundcards Line In Inputs (Left and Right) The Line In 3/4 Inputs go into my cards Line Out Outputs (Left And Right) And my speakers are connected to the Ctrl Outputs to my Monitors And my mic ( http://www.turnkey.co.uk/tkweb/stockdetail...7LC&context=WEB ) Its connected the the channel 1 mic input. So am i missing some connection? or is there something i have to do in the software? I have Audacity and Cool Edit Pro. Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj mylo Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I have the same soundcard as you, buddy! So.... 1. Hook up everything correctly. Read mixer manual, as well as soundcard manual to make sure you have the right setup. 2. Read your Soundcard manual VERY carefully! You need to load a certain recording template in the Patchmix DSP Mixer. Without the correct setup in Patchmix no audio will come into Cooledit/Wavelab etc. I think the manual gives a a tutorial on recording into Wavelab. This should also prove very usefull. This is really tough bro. I feel your pain! But the best advice you already have in your hands! RTFM! good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philter Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 have you connected the input of your audio card to aux 1 or 2, im asking this because only aux 2 seems to be prefade. if not then connect to aux 2 because this will prevent feedback while recording, meaning you can have the channel fader down while recording and you can monitor through your computer. make sure that your audio card is configured right, i.e. that you have selected the right input for recording. you can do this by clicking on the sound card icon at the bottom right in the taskbar, select dropdown menu "options" them "preferences" then click on record. make sure that the right sound card is selected, mainboards with sound on board often have the on board card set as default device. then choose the right input of your audio card. also make sure that you have chosen the right driver for the software you are using, again there are often problems with sound on board. once you have cleared the above you should be ready to record. so again while recording or setting up to record make sure the channel fader is tuned down and the auxilary turned up. see if you can monitor through your computer, if so then it should work. good luck.

Psychocell Posted March 29, 2006 Author Share Posted March 29, 2006 Ive seemed to have worked it out now BUT, now im having problems hearing the recording ive layed down in Wavelab. Was able to record, its there, but i cant hear anything. When i save the recording in Wav Format, i can only hear it when im listenening through Windows Media Player, or Recycle. I have everything connected up corrected From Soundcard to Mixer, etc... What the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philter Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 And ive read the manual and everything, cant seem to find the problem? 503638[/snapback] well as far as i know wavelab is for post production and editing, try using a software that is made for multitracking, i.e. cubase, logic, cakewalk etc....

And thats record something and saving it into Wav format, which i would then throw into the Sampling Devices in Reason. The only thing that i cant figue out is why i cant get playback in Wavelab Lite? Theirs a master volume window in the program, with two volume peaks, they move when i press play, so in otherwords it seems to reckonise my recording but wont play it back (cant hear anything)... And when i save it into Wav format and play through something else, it works, but its a pain to do it this way, as i want to hear if the recording is worth saving... Been on other forums, read the manual, double checked my cabling, etc. And i just cant seem to find the solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
