AUDIO: What You Hear Is NOT What You Get

hi guys. i have seen this problem being reported on numerous occasions on this forum, but can't remember if it's really been tackled and solved.
It may seem the question audio-related and should have been posted in another thread, but i do tend to think it's macbook-related for some reason.
you see i've worked for ages on ibooks and powerbooks and whatever sound i'd hear through my headphones in any audio-production programme, exactly the same sound would be exported as mixdown.
now that i've added a macbook to my gear, what i hear during mix, mastering, etc. is NOT what i get on export! my exported material is full of clipping and distortion.
yes, i know that those "reds" on mixer channels are supposed to mean peaking and that should be avoided. but why is it that i don't hear distortion through headphones/monitors when i see red while my exported audio is distorted?
as opposed to that, when working on my powerbook g4:
red = clipping and distortion in any DAW = clipping and distortion in exported audio
whereas, once again, on a macbook:
red = most clear sound in any DAW = clipping and distortion in exported audio.
any thoughts? please! could this be a common macbook / onboard soundcard problem?

pardon,I'm a little confused... Scenario:Not using cycle record. One track for a lead vocal.I puch in vocal phrases.Is there a technique for going back to earlier pass takes and lock a take in the arrange window if I want to ?Why create duplicate tracks?I do not want to create extra tracks,want the lead vocal to be on it's own single track that has punches.I usually only want the most recent punch as I move on after a good take.In this current song I rewind happy to hear my performance but I end up seeing it(the punch)but hearing and underlying take ??? Why. PLease elaborate. Thanks ~

Whatever answer will be given: Use a Limiter when doing a mixdown and exporting. Going over 0db is never a good idea with digital equipment.

Audigy board is recording in mono when using "what you hear" or "wave" m

I have an Audigy SB394 EAX HD Sound card, Model SB0090. I've installed the latest drivers with XP Pro, and the card runs just fine for games and such. However, when I try to record with it using "Wave" or "What You Hear" mode, it comes out sounding like it's in mono mode. My sound and music is not playing in mono, so why would it be recording that way?Message Edited by vonshep on 02-26-200805:42 PM

NI'll give them a try and post back here with the results - am I correct in assuming the driver pack you speak of is located here? If so, another post by daniel says specifically that his pack doesn't enable the feature, but I'm going to try anyway.
EDIT: Nope, no luck, didn't enable the feature.

Windows7 64 bit and Audigy 2 choppy sound while recording what you hear

Driver version I have currently installed 6.0..37 I tried to record off youtube in "What You hear" while using Wavelab5 mode and the sound is very choppy, I tried every setting I could think of but am unable to record, I managed to get one recording but tnext one with same settings is coming up rearry choppy. Another problem when browsing the support I click on "If your product is not listed above, please click here" I choose Audigy-->Audigy2 but I get nothing in the next window, I tried on FF and IE8 but nothing populates in the next field, found another way to get to the drivers but when I choose Windows 7 64 bit and choose drivers it takes me to the main support page here <a rel="nofollow" href="http://support.creative.com/welcome.aspx"]http://support.creative.com/welcome.aspx[/url]
I am on:
Intel Q2600
Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6
2 x 2GB DDR2 - 800 CL4 Ballistix
Windows7 Ultimate 64 bit
Kaspersky Internet Security 200.
All current Windows7 updates are installed.
Oh yeah I can hear music (mp3, avi, youtube or any online source) no problem in either winamp, WMP2 or in Wavelab5 while monitoring. It's only the recording that is giving me trouble.

<div class="DownloadDate">"Release date : 3 Jul 09<div class="DownloadShortDesc">This?download is a?driver providing Microsoft? Windows?7, Windows Vista? and Windows XP support for Creative Sound Blaster? Audigy? series of audio devices. For more details, read the rest of this web release note."?
Right where do I start...... I got the latest drivers installed, "What You Hear" was working for about oh four recordings then stopped and back to choppy recorded sound, I went through alll options and nada. So I downloaded Audacity to see if this was a problem with Wavelab and re-tried. Well same thing choppy sound and even rebooting did not help. So I will be taking EVERYTHING!!!!!! CREATIVE off my machine, if these idiots cannot be bothered to release drivers that work then I'm going elsewhere. My music creating will have to be put on hold, my 22m will still have to sit in it's box.
Creative you are all a bunch of ?$"?%$%" idiots period. You have ALWAYS (till now in my case anyway) had good drivers. Even though Windows 7 has been in RC for ages you (absolutely missed that boat, hell you didn't even get up to try to catch it) cannot be bothered to write drivers that work and your idiotic half cooked attempts at customer service to give your bread and butter (that's right your customers who keep you in business) solid drivers are an absolute joke. YOU CAN KISS MY SHINY METAL HINEY!!!!! (thanks Bender lol). I am going to my onboard drivers. Thanks Creative (the name "creative" is kind of contradiction in itself, you should look up the meaning of the word lol). Oh and I will be advising EVERYONe who thinks of upgrading to Windows7 to avoid Creative hardware.

Question for forum users: what is the best way to get rid of every bit of drivers?

Creative Audigy 2 Platinum with WHAT YOU HEAR & MICROPHONE shows "Currently Unavailable"

I re-used my Creative Audigy2 Platinum for my new built PC used on Window7 64. Somehow, the latest Creative Sound Blaster Audigy series driver 2.18.0017 "SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_18_0017.exe" on Creative Website (http://support.creative.com/Products...rodName=Audigy 2 Platinum&subCatName=Audigy&CatName=Sound+Blaster&V ARSET=prodfaq:PRODFAQ_150,VARSET=CategoryID:1 )for my old Audigy2 Platinum has some kinds of "bug" problem. It keeps disconnecting my internet access. Also, both "What You Hear" & "Microphone" in Recording show as "Currently Unavailable". And with that, the microphone and music does play fine on speakers or headphones, but I could not use its for talk live through the internet (i.e. PALTALK) or mixing music.
Please help and Thanks a lot!!

"What You Hear" Not work

Alright so I know how "What You Hear" is supposed to work, but sometimes it doesn't.. Sometimes rebooting the PC helps, sometimes it doesn't it's very odd.
I have what you hear selected, and I have Music playing through WAVE, I'm saying stuff on the Micrphone and It's not recording anything. [Yes I have Both the WAVE / MICROPHONE enable to play on the playback so that I can hear it myself for the WHAT YOU HEAR to record them... Nothing is muted]
When I switch recording setting to WAV or just MICROPHONE, the input is taken just fine, but when I switch to "WHAT YOU HEAR" nothing is heard. Any Ideas?
I tried re-installing my Drivers before, it did a temp fix really reinstall>

anyone? any thoughts? please?

Audigy 2 ZS plat Pro, "What you hear"? problem PLEASE H

Hello, im a gamer, I play cs:source. I just bought the plat pro and I have issues. In gaming you must use a microphone to communicate. And everything was great with my Audigy gamer. But after purchasing the plat pro I noticed I had a problem. In the system volume properties in recording windows xp has the default playback as "what you hear". It doesnt transmit what you speak into the microphone, it transmits "what you hear" Lets say you were listening to music and you try to talk into the mic. All they hear is the music, even though you have headphones on and the microphone isnt picking it up. Anyways, thats what "What you hear" does. So I select microphone in the recording properties and all is great, problem fixed. but when I load up cs:source and when I connect to a server it resets windows defaults to "what you hear" So everytime I connect to a server and try to talk all they hear are my game sounds. yes I can alt tab after connectiing to a server and switch it back again to "microphone" but its quite a hassle.
PLEASE HELP!

Audio Recording "What you Hear" not available!

I have recently assembled my system with MSI-X58-PRO-E. And installed Windows 7.
When I tried to record audio that is playing on my system, the "What you Hear" option could not be selected in Audacity. Or any other recording software.
Is this because of Realtek drivers? Could this be solved by installing new drivers, or I have to buy a discrete sound card?!?!!!
Any help is appreciated...

thanks for suggestion, will try it and post thje results soon.

What I Hear is NOT What I Get when I export

I finally learned how to create a multi-track song in GarageBand 2. I spent hours getting it the way I wanted it -- and it sounded great -- Then I exported it to iTunes, and when it played there, the tempo was much slower than it had been when I played it in GarageBand. Also, some of the tracks were off in terms of timing.
To make matters worse, when I then go back to listen again to the song in GarageBand 2, it is screwing up there, too -- all this despite the fact that the song played perfectly (in terms of tempo and being in sync) the last time I played it PRIOR to exporting it to iTunes.
Can someone tell me why What I Hear is Not "What I Get" with Garageband? and why it's mucking up the final version of my songs when I export them to iTunes.
Thanks

Lost audio capture 'what you hear' from conexant

I have an HP Pavilion DV2278ea laptop running Vista 32bit and have all OS updates apart from those announced in the last few weeks. I recently upgraded the software for the Conexant High Definition onboard sound card to the latest August 08 version 4.36.7.60 C. All seemed fine until I came to do an audio capture from an internet stream using Roxio. The only capture device listed was the microphone - there used to be one that said Conexant Audio 'What you Hear' to capture anything heard through the speakers. On checking Sounds in Control Panel the only recording device is the microphone. Sound works okay from both the internal and external speakers. I've tried rolling back the drivers but its still the same. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Ok this has driven me mad for the last few days but I found the solution:
Windows Vista Recording Input Source selections for recording streaming audio, sound from media players or just about anything you can hear coming through your speakers are Hidden from view and Disabled by Default. (I'm sorry - but why!!?! )
If your sound card/system supports recording streaming audio Input Source selections such as: Stereo Mix, What U Hear, Wave Out Mix, Wave or a similar selection, here's what you need to do to Enable it for recording:
Right-Click on your Speaker Icon in your System Tray, (near your clock), select "Recording Devices".
In the Sound window that opens, near the top, select the "Recording" TAB.
Move your cursor down to where devices are shown.
Right-Click in the blank white area and select "Show Disabled Devices".
If supported, new selections will appear such as: Stereo Mix, What U Hear, etc. Right-Click on "Stereo Mix", "What U Hear" or similar and select "Enable".
Right-Click on the same item again and select "Set as Default Device". Click OK.
Now in the recorder's Options in the "Input Source" box, you should have the "Stereo Mix", "What U Hear" or similar source available to select for recording streaming, etc.
(You can also Enable other hidden selections like Microphone, Line In, etc. if they are not already shown).

Record what you hear

I have a Pavillion DV8-1250EA 4 GB RAM 2x320 GB Discs which has an IDT HD Audio device and uses the Windows 7 64-bit operating system.
I want to knwo how to record audio internally (e.g. audio played from the Internet).
I am able to do this on my desktop which has a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro card and runs Windows XP Professional 32-bit by recording "What You Hear".
It seems just a little bit of an oversight to have omitted this functionality on such a powerful and feature-packed system designed for multi-media.

I do run Audacity and I have tried to use this to record "What You Hear" on the HP Laptop. The only recording device shown in Audacity is Master. If I try to use this to record, it only picks up inputs from the inbuilt microphone and the externl microphone, if attached. Any sound coming out of the speakers is picked up by the inbuilt microphone and can be recorded in this way but that is, obviously, not satisfactory.
Another method would be to cable the earphone output to the external microphone input and disable or mute the built-in microphone. Again, this is hardly satisfactory.
I would have expected the audio detected internally to be available for recording, which it is not because I do not believe the IDT HD drivers present it.
In desperation, I have contacted IDT directly.
This is the sort of thing I have taken for granted, having had an excellent sound system on my desktop for years. It seems that Soundblaster takes some beating, both in terms of quality and technology. Perhaps HP would do well to consider this.

What ever happened to the "What you Hear" device for XFi Exteme Audio for Vi

I thought for sure the mixer device would be added back in as part of these new driver, but apparently the minds of creative feel it is ok to take options away from a purchased product? Does anyone know of a good work around to allow for recording "What You Hear" in Vista?

wclampet,I have same problem with my X-fi extremeGamer card in vista. It means i can't use any other sound recording software to record anything off the net since there is no recording device such as 'what u hear' for it to use. Can't get support from Creative and they won't even answer the simple question of whether it's supposed to be there or not because mine is an oem dell system. For the some reason i cant?install the latest drivers from the Creative site either ( because i have an oem version ?) - though i?dont think it would solve the issue anyway really. [color="#0033ff">Anyway just to let u know there is a workround - u can record basically 'what u hear'?using?the Creative Mediasource?5 Player using the Digital -in (the only record device i have) and choosing Wav,multi-channels as the recording format. You will end up with a wav. file (big) which you can then convert using the?Creative Mediasource 5 Converter (after a lot of trial and error in choosing the right destination?format - WMA?Pro -28kbps 44kHz?5. Channel for me -
I thought it was not possible for a long while).You end up with a Windows Media Audio WMA file. If you want to convert to Mp3 is seems you have to buy another program off them. ?I am a bit annoyed at not being able to use any other?streaming audio recorder program with this soundcard? that could record direct to MP3. Would appreciate it if anyone (including anyone at Creative - I am in Singapore U know!) could tell me if?there should be a 'what u hear' recording device or not - and if not why not ???

Using Analog 2 or "What You Hear" for stereo recording

I'm recording sound bites from tv shows and movies to my Audigy 2 Platinum by using the front-panel's Analog 2 by plugging in the left and right channels for the audio.
When I record directly from Anolog 2, the sound is real low, but If I record from the "What you hear" option, it comes out a lot louder.
Is there any difference in how the audio is being formatted during it's recording by weather or not if I use Analog 2 or "What you hear"? Like in surround sound? Will I get surround sound quality from either Analog 2 or "What you hear"?

This low signal can be caused by wrong connection impedance or voltage, BUT also
Have you already tried by setting
- Source level to max (eg. Analog 2 in this case) on Surround Mixer and checked it equals on Windows Mixer (Control Panel_Sounds and Multimedia_Audio tab: Volume on both Play)
- Rec level too (on both as above /Rec)
I think you can't record surround directly using 1 stereo microphone/source.

Error when recording with "What you hear" opt

Hi there fellow Creative Fans,
I see that a similar thread already exists for this topic, however it does not seem to be resolved yet...and, my situation is a bit different. I run a pretty standard setup (Intel P4 .6 Ghz, 52 MB RAM, Windows XP Pro SP2) and of course a Sound Blaster Audigy 2. I have been running this setup for approxiamately 5 months now with no changes whatsoever (hardware/software). I have been making extensi've use of the "What you hear" functionality in the Creative Media Go Player. Two nights ago, I wanted to record sound from a DVD and I got this message "The recording process was aborted".
As stated before, I have not added or removed hardware, installed service packs or any new software for that matter. I have reinstalled all the drivers and software, checked and re-checked settings. I have downloaded the latest drivers from Creative's site...all in vain.
Can anyone please help. If acker25 is reading this: "Have you resolved your problem yet?"
Regards
Steyn

Problem resolved. Follow Creatives FAQ advice on uninstalling the Soundblaster device drivers...it's on this web site. Follow all the steps, but include deleting "Creative" out of the registry. This worked for me. I can not guarantee this on any other users machines. I'm assuming that the drivers get's damaged.
Good luck.

Audigy SB What you hear WHY NOt?!
