Creative Smart Recorder with new driver

'Creative Smart Recorder with new driver< I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 2v purchased and installed in Oct, 2005. I use the Smart Recorder a lot and all was fine until two weeks ago when I downloaded and installed new driver software from Creative. All of the rest of the software works fine (no change or improvement in the operation in the card, which is why I went for the new driver), but?now when I try to start the ?Smart Recorder I get a Windows message "Creative Smart Recofder has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."? It asks if I want to Send Error Report. As far as I can tell Smart Recorder never opened. Other than putting my computer back into the what it was two weeks ago is there anything that I can do? I'm not sure that the previous driver, etc. is still there. Thank you.

+ Need to add something. I thought that if a program loaded I was okay. But, no. The media studio will load but is no longer connected, I mean nothing will record, not from the internet or the CD player. No connection. Whatever Creative gave me, it is not friendly with older versions of the software.

Creative Smart Recorder Customizations

Hi,
Recently i started using the Creative Smart Recorder for recording our church services.
The application is really good and it solves our purpose. We are using it with Creative sound card and we purchaged Creative MP3 audio pack to record in mp3 format.
Is there any settings for the following in "Record Now" screen.
After the recording is finished(pressing STOP button) -> "Edit New Recording Information" dialogue comes up -> if "escape" key or "cancel" button is accidentally pressed, the recording is lost. Is there any setting to make the smart recorder ask the user like "really want to calcel the recording" (Yes/No) option? so that the user will not loose the recording accidentally?
2. After the recording is finished(pressing STOP button) -> "Edit New Recording Information" dialogue comes up ->? Is there any option to add some predefined entries for ***le" "Artist" "Album" so that we can select them from the respective drop down boxes? (similar to Genre - currently gives option to select from a list)?
3. After the recording is finished(pressing STOP button) -> "Edit New Recording Information" dialogue comes up ->?
For "Fileneme" currently names the file name as <input_date_time> by default. Can we configure to our own way?
Can someone please respond? I like the feature of "Pause" in the software.
Thanks In Advance.

Hi,
1. There is not setting to change this.
2. These options are not available on the Smart Recorder software. However you can use external software (like a Mp3 tagger) to tag the files.
3. The filename is saved in that format, it is not configurable. However you can rename the file.
I don't think there are any future plans for this software at this point.

HT1553 I did the back up as instructed... Installed a larger hard drive and followed the restore instructions... Now I get a white screen with a folder icon and blinking question mark. When trying to set startup with new drive I get a bless tool error...

I did the back up as instructed... Installed a larger hard drive and followed the restore instructions... Now I get a white screen with a folder icon and blinking question mark. When trying to set startup with new drive I get a bless tool error... Help!!

If you have installed a new hard drive , you will need to have formatted it in Disk Utility correctly. This may explain your problem.
Boot into your 10.6 Install disk again at the top menubar > Utilities > select Disk utility and in there select your new hard drive, and select the tab Erase and choose to make the format as Mac OS Extended Journaled. When that is finished look in the main window to make sure that the partition map scheme says GUID Partition Table.
Now go to the Restore tab and reinstall from your backup.

Audigy 2 value. Creative smart recorder has encountered a problem and needs to clo

At last I installed the audigy 2v software but I get this error when I try to open creative smart recorder."Creative smart recorder has encountered a problem and needs to close." My mic functions but my speakers don't. So I have switched to my on board card now. I am using Windows Xp, service pack 2. Everything functioned perfectly until I got the last updates using autoupdate. Any suggestions?

Thanks PeeBee! For some reason WMP burned those songs as write-protected (although at some point in the past I had turned it off). I reburned those songs and they uploaded just fine. Now if only I can figure out this video thing. Thnaks again. - Chris

HT1801 Just wondering, does iTunes update my Smart playlist with new songs?

Does iTunes update my Smart playlist with new songs each time I download it or do I have to manually update it myself? If I do, can someone walk me through it. Thanks a bunch

Yes that should work.
Are you using an "Artist is ..." rule? If so, and if new stuff by onerepublic isn't showing up in the list, check the Artist name on the new songs to make sure it's exactly matching the one in your rule.
For example, I've got music in my library (by the same people) under the artist names Godspeed You Black Emperor! and Godspeed You! Black Emperor ... (different position of the "!") If I set up a smart playlist based on:
Artist is Godspeed You Black Emperor!
It doesn't catch the songs with an Artist name of "Godspeed You! Black Emperor".
To get all the songs showing in a smart playlist, I'd need to adjust the Artist name on one or the other sets of songs so it matches a rule. (Haven't done that myself yet for GYBE, because I haven't worked out where the exclamation mark is actually supposed to go.)

Creative Smart Recorder WON'T REC

I've just installed Audigy SE on Windows Vista, ran Creative Smart Recorder and instead got this message:
"There is no audio device available on the system. The application will no close."
Matter of fact, none of the third party recording programs will record anything even when I select SoundBlaster Audigy as the input source. How does one even begin to troubleshoot something like that ?

I had the same problem and found a solution after hours and hours. Clicking on the smart media icon in the start menu (right mouse button), choosing "attributes" and than "compatibility", choosing windows xp (which is not installed an my computer). after that it worked right away. my system is in German, so I hope my translation of the menu is okay.

Creative Smart recorder softw

I bought a Sound Blaster to convert vinyl tracks to MP3 but the installation CD does not seem to have the Creative Smart Recorder necessary for this operation.Where can I download the software from?Thanks a lot for help.Christian

Hello Christen
I had the same problem I was going nuts trying to figure what was going on so I wrote to creative and they told me what to do and it fixed the problem, but lets give credit were credit is due I am going to cut and paste the letter and hope it solve your problem also.
Dear Mark,
Thank you for contacting Creative Email Technical Support; we appreciate
the opportunity to assist you.
I understand that you are trying to use Creative Smart Recorder
application but unable to because it reported that no audio device is
available. Let me try to help you best as I can.
First of all kindly ensure that you have the administrati've rights to
your PC. Then I would like you to check the Device Manager for me: Click
Start --> Run --> type devmgmt.msc --> OK. Look under Sound, Video, and
Game Controllers; do you see your soundcard listed? Is there any error
on it's Make sure you have disabled the onboard sound as well. We
recommend that you disable the onboard sound in the BIOS (look up your
motherboard manual or manufacturer for more help).
If everything is fine, kindly go to Control Panel from Windows Start
menu and choose Sound and Audio Devices. Go to Audio tab and choose X-Fi
as your playback device. At the bottom tick the option 'Use only default
devices'.
Start up the recorder application. Does it work? Please get back to me
if the issue persists.

Audigy-2 ZS Platinum Application problems with New driv

Hello Creative Labs,
I recently downloaded and installed your newly released drivers for my Audigy-2 ZS Platinum card, and some of the software features have now stopped responding and fail to load.
<div class="DownloadDate">Release date: 7 Jul 08<div class="DownloadFileName">File Name: SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_8_000.exe<div class="DownloadFileName">**?
** This is the patch file name and date released **
<div class="DownloadFileName">?<div class="DownloadFileName">?<div class="DownloadFileName">I Have owned SB products for my entire Computing life, and they have all performed with outstanding results on both Win/98se and XP for me.<div class="DownloadFileName">?<div class="DownloadFileName">The problem I am having since the new Driver update is with the Graphicic Equaliser software, it fails to load now with this new driver release, it gives a small box with a prompt saying "CTEQ.exe !Out of memory", then a larger box pops up about the dimensions of the old Graphic EQ GUI with Equalizer on the header, and a message in the box saying "TODO: Place dialog controls here"
<div class="DownloadFileName">?<div class="DownloadFileName">My microphone is also no longer visible to adjust in the Volume control Main window, I can set my microphone to be the recording device elsewhere in the Windows sound settings, but it no longer is visible to adjust in your Software programs made for my Audigy-2 ZS Platinum.<div class="DownloadFileName">?<div class="DownloadFileName">I see that many other users are also having similar problems, can we expect another update with fixes for the Control panel software to resolve these problems.<div class="DownloadFileName">?<div class="DownloadFileName">Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing a response from the Creative team on this issue.

All the issues you guys are talking about have been reported in beta stage of these new drivers. I would say none of them has been fixed yet. The only solution for now is to use previous drivers which work fine or use some modified drivers which fixes some issues, but not all. Your choice.

Creative Smart Recorder Will Not L

I've successfully used USB Sound Blaster Li've! Model SB 0490 since January 2006. Today is different. Inexplicably Smart Recorder will not load. All other Creative programs (such as Surround Mixer, Graphic Equalizer) load without a snicker. I've run the diagnostics and everything checks okay. I used the CD to "repair" the software. Instead of loading I instantly get the cursed stop-everything Microsoft message "...Microsoft has encountered a problem and needs to close. Please tell Microsoft..."? This is XPHome fer ya.
The forum on this product while dated contains nothing I can see about this. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Want to let you all know that I think I solved the problem, or actually, two problems.
Problem - I installed the 64-bit driver, which included the Audio Console. Then, when I installed the applications on the CD that came with the card, I unknowingly installed the Audio Console again, which was a 32-bit version. I took out the card, uninstalled everything, and then reinstalled only the 64-bit Driver/Audio Console which came from Creative's website.
Bottom line - I installed the 32-bit Audio Console on top of the 64-bit Audio Console. Creative should write drivers or give better explanations so regular consumers can avoid this pitfall. I'm a computer tech and figured this out, but most folks wouldn't.
Problem 2 - I can't blame Creative for this one. I turned off my onboard 394 (Firewire) port. I don't use it anyway.
When I did those two things, my issue went away. The X-Fi Fatalty now works perfectly.
Thanks to the two people who responded here. Hope this helps someone else.

Hard drive crashed... How to sync Iphone with New Drive?

My hard drive crashed on my Macbook, I installed a new drive... How to I sync my Iphone without loosing applications, photos, pix,movies and contacts?

You should have a back-up of important info/music/pix/etc on an external source fro this very reason.
The iphone is not a storage device.
Assuming you don't back-up your info:
I think you can re-download Apps from the same itunes account.
Itunes purchased music can be transferred with iphone attached - in itunes click File>Transfer Purchases.
Pix can be e-mailed to yourself one at a time. The photos are optimized for viewing on iphone and will be of much lower quality than the original.
If you enter at least one contact and calendar entry in your computer, before syncing, you will get the option to merge.
The pic and music sync is one-way, computer to iphone.
Unless you can find a 3rd party app that you can trust, the rest is lost.
This would be a good time to begin backing up your important info.

Migrating old information to new laptop with new drive

I tried searching for this but also wanted a specific answer.
Here's what happened: my old Macbook (first version, from 2006) failed, but I had all its information backed up on to a Time Machine drive. The drive was a firewire drive. When my 2006-era Macbook failed, I bought a new one. However, the new laptop did not have a firewire port. I used the laptop for a few months until I could afford a new, USB external drive. Now, I've got the new computer (with some new information but no firewire port), my old firewire hard drive -- with info, and a new USB hard drive, that is completely blank.
What I intended to do was find a Mac at my university's library with both a USB and firewire drive and copy all the information to my new drive from the old one. From that point, can I just use migration assistant to merge my new Macbook and the old Macbook's information? Will it make more sense to load any new documents on my Macbook onto a flash drive, wipe its hard drive, and restore from the old Time Machine backup then add the information from the flash drive?
I don't want to have two separate accounts, either.
Thanks for your help with this annoying dilemma! I miss all my old music, photos, and videos...

Thanks for the information. Instead of using a flash drive, would it work for me to partition the drive and place any new information on the second partition of my external hard drive?
Sure (if there's room). See #3 in [Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Using Snow Leopard+ forum).
If there isn't enough room to make the partition, but enough total space, you can put the files in the same partition as your backups.
You must be careful, though, as that isn't generally a good idea. You must leave enough room for Time Machine to operate; it doesn't need a lot, perhaps a hundred MBs, but if you fill it past that, your backups will crash before they can start deleting old backups to make room for new ones.
Similarly, do not add anything that way while a backup is running.
And, be very careful not to move, change, or delete anything in your backups via the Finder, as that can corrupt them.

Line-in not working with new driv

Has anyone else had issues with the line-in jack not working with new drivers? Is there a way to get it to work??Very frustrated. Is there a link to the beta drivers, they worked better for me then the new one.

The line input on the mini requires a 'line-level' signal, so the only microphones that work are ones that have an amplified output. Standard mics don't generate enough voltage to drive the mini's amplifiers.
That's the reason the mics work with the Griffin device (it has an amplifier) but not the mini directly.
