Found the Secret of Recording with What You Hear.

This website tells you how to setup Vista so that What You Hear will work with your SoundBlaster Card. http://www.downloadsquad.com/2007/0/...ding-in-vista/. Do you see the date. Jan 5, 2007 how did this not get out before now. It works great.

Only problem is that I CAN'T get the 'Wave Out Mix' to show up in the Sound Recording Tab Window.

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.

Anyone suggest suitable software to record from the iMac to the iMac. i.e. 'What you hear'?

Anyone suggest suitable software to record from the iMac to the iMac. i.e. 'What you hear'?
For instance if I play a tune on Spotify how can I record this to the iMac?

6Controling recording through "What you hear",

Dear community, Breif question, Is there any way to control what i record through "what you hear"?
Im using "Creative MediaSource 5" to record. I'm recording a radio show through Internet Explorer 8, and its two hours long. I've turned off windows sounds, but if i play a game, or video it will record that sound aswell through "what you hear", obviously which i do not want. I feel restricted on my computer while recording and don't think i should be with a product from top developer like creative. I found small fix by using windows 7's sound mixer and turning down volume on all other open apps but it would be ncie to implenet this into a seperate "what you hear" mixer recording. If you know of any third party apps i would be much obliged if not don't you think this would be something to implement in the future?
Thanks for taking the time to read my issue and hope you can solve my answer and look forward to your comments.

Soundcard with "what you hear" recording supp

Hello,
I'm looking for a soundcard with so called "what you hear" recording support under windows, so a possibility to record all audio going to speakers. Is there any model from creative supporting this feature, prefered an external model at USB/Firewire or internal with PCIe?
TIA for advice

Which card/software you got there?
If you use "Creative Surround Mixer" --> you can set the .REC source by pressing the icon located above recording level slider.
If you can't see the "W-U-H" option listed there, then check if it's already selected (ear icon).

Creative X-Fi recorder from "what you hear" and splitting tra

Hi,
I used to be able to record minutes of music or sound and be able to split this saved file with the splitting option of Smart Recorder. I now have installed a new sound card X-Fi and want to do the same but cannot find where I need to look. Does this new software for X-Fi offer that or not anymore?
thanks,
Luke

I have the software from the CD installed, as I stated earlier, the "What You Hear" option is only missing if you do a CLEAN install of the drivers from the Windows Update. That is?to say if you install the drivers from Microsoft's website with no other X-Fi driver installed on your system.
If you installed the update over a previous version of the drivers, then the "What You Hear" option remains available.
I checked this three times by doing a clean install from the Windows Update and then installing the other driver from Creative?s website.
All three times I deleted the X-Fi driver from my system, then installed the one directly from the Windows Update. I would check my record settings and could not find the "What You Hear" option. I would then install the driver from Creative?s website and checked the settings again and the ?What You Hear? option was available.
If you just installed the Windows Update driver over the one previously on your system without first deleting it, then yes, you should have the "What You Hear" option.
I also could not get the "What You Hear" recording option in any software application that previously had it (ie, Adobe Audition, Sony Sound Forge) until I installed the driver form the Creative website.

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" recording volume is too

I have Soundblaster Audigy 2 on Vista 64-bit. I recently downloaded new drivers (6.0..242). This is after converting from XP and old drivers.
My "What you hear" settings work and will record using MediaSource Player, but the volume on the recorded file is about 25% the volume of the original file. This is verified upon replaying both the original and newly-recorded files side-by-side or right after one another.
When opening the Sound Panel>Recording Devices>"What You Hear">Levels, the levels are to the max and the balance is to the max for both right and left channels.
Although probably irrelevent, under Sound Panel>Playback Devices>Speakers>Levels, play control levels are max, and all other sublevels are?maxed, balanced maxed, and unmuted. (Sorry for my lack of technical description.)
I play the file on Windows Media Player and volume is maxed on the player as well. The interesting thing is when you look in the Sound Panel, the speakers show maxed volume and the "What you hear" only shows, again 25% of the volume.
Previously, I had no problems with XP and old drivers. I also was once able to revert to old drivers (which I can no longer do) and the problem went away. The difference was that the old drivers had a "Wav" level setting (under Sound Panel>Playback Devices>Speakers>Levels) where you could increase the level. These drivers don't appear to provide this setting.
Is there some setting I'm missing? Any help would be great. Thanks!

What you hear recording sounds like Phase Shifter!

Hi, when I record with "What you hear (from youtube, etc.) it sounds like it came through a phase shifter: real bad. I have a dell xps 420 with Vista 32 bit and it'scame bundled with?creator premiere, adobe soundbooth, etc. Intel core tm2 quad cpu, 2.66 Ghz, memory 4GB
it seems to record ok with line in and mic. Can someone please help?

Actually, there's discussion about this all over the Internet.
The problem is your move to Vista and Windows 7
Under pressure from the record companies, the ability to record the Stereo Mix output of you computer has been disabled or removed from many new computers.
You may be lucky and find it's only been disabled on your machine. If so, then do the following:
To enable:
->> go to Control Panel
->> Hardware and Sound
->> Manage Audio devices
->> in the Recording tab window right click in the white area away from any devices and from the menu enable "Show Disabled Devices" and "Show disconnected devices"
->> right click on Stereo Mix to get the properties window and in Device usage "Use this device (enable)"
However, there have been many reports in here (you can do a search) that some computer manufacturers are actually removing this ability entirely, again under pressure from the record companies.
This being the case, you might try some software called Virtual Audio Cable: http://software.muzychenko.net/eng/vac.htm
You have to pay for it but at least there's a trial version so you can see if it works for you before laying out your money.

Missing "What You hear" on X-Fi Titanium

Hi,
at first, sorry for my bad english, but without practice, its not easy
Last week I bought an brand new Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Professional. I?m using Vista Ultimate x64 an the drivers from the original CD (Driver version 2.7.).
On my old X-Fi Extreme Music, I had a recording Device which was called "What you hear" (or "What U hear" , the original german description is "Was Sie h?ren"). It has the same function like "Stereomix" on other soundcards.
I miss this recording device on my new X-Fi Titanium, there is only the microphone, the line in and the digital in. Is this feature not longer Part of the Productline? I think it was verry useful.
Is there any chance to enable "What you hear" on the new X-Fi Soundcards? I reinstalled the driver finally, but this was not the solution^^
Again, sry for my bad english, but may, somebody can help me.
Best regards
DarkRhinon

Hm, my onboard Sound (its called ASUS SupremeFX X-Fi, but its only a Analog Devices Chip with some X-Fi software feature)? already have the "Stereomix". Hm... I will miss the "What U hear" on the X-Fi, imho its a not a good decision to remove this feature. Its also a bit mindless, because it looks like that other manufacturer still use this feature and intigrate it in their soundcards...:smileyindifferent:

Does "What You Hear" work in Windows Vis

Does record?"What You Hear" work in Windows Vista?

It works (in 32 bit anyway), but not that well by my experience. I only have the windows sound recorder to use, and the sound it captures distorts slightly. I ususally use the Creative WaveStudio for recording, so I'm not doing much recording while I wait for a Vista version to be released.

Audigy SB What you hear WHY NOt?!

!I DONT GET IT!

Recording what you hear on the comp

Well I got cubase but everytime i export the song the sounds are all different and ultimately the song sounds completely different then it was on the program, and even if i figured out how to fix this, i still have the problem of converting it a different format. So, instead of doing the two i was hoping to see if there is any way i can record what i hear on the computer. I tried and i didnt find a way and hoping someone here could guide me... i got an Audigy 2 Value and Windows XP if that is of any help. It be very appreciated if someone could help me. Thanks

which version of cubase are you using? as i dont use the home pakages im not 100% on if evertythings the same but im sure this will be! what export function are you using? and what is the input channel selected recording in the computers audio devices! if you select the input as waves that might help the "what you hear" recording outside of cubase.
use said you are using only midi files i agree with jutapa about using the vsti's if you read the cubase manual you will find that it mentions something about not being about to mixdown outside midi functions with out syncing the device cubase or something along those lines!
i didn't pay all that much attention as it's never been a problem for me!
here the part of the manual on mix down
The Export Audio Mixdown function in Cubase SX/SL allows you to mix
down audio from the program to a file on your hard disk, in a number of
formats. You can choose to mix down one of the following:
An output bus.
For example, if you have set up a stereo mix with tracks routed to a stereo output bus,
mixing down that output bus would give you a mixdown file containing the whole mix.
Similarly, you can mix down a complete surround bus, either to a single multi-channel
file (interleaved) or to one file per surround channel (split).
The channel for an audio track (Cubase SX only).
This will mix down the channel for the track, complete with insert effects, EQ, etc. This
can be useful for turning a number of events into a single file, or if you are using CPUintensive
insert effects – by exporting the track and re-importing it into the project you
can turn off the insert effect, saving processor power.
Any kind of audio channel in the mixer (Cubase SX only).
This includes VST Instrument channels, effect return channels (FX Channel tracks),
Group channels and ReWire channels. There are many uses for this – for example, you
can mix down an effect return track or turn individual ReWire channels into audio files.
Notes
The Export Audio Mixdown function mixes down the area between the
left and right locator.
When you mix down, you get what you hear – mutes, mixer settings
and insert effects are taken into account.
Note though that you will only include the sound of the bus or channel you select for
mixdown.
here's the bit okay seems you can't record midi in the mix down at all you have to record it like a normal audio file first. that's just with the record button on to a normal audio track you'll have to figure out how to get your midi to feed through into cubase
the way i do it is only leave the information out to the midi device plugged in and then plug the analog out put of the device into the input that cubase will record this will make sure cubase records the file as an audio file with out getting a cross over of the midi information being sent(i hope that makes sence some times i can make a muddle of explaining things). there are other ways to do this but this ways nice and simple and lazy! and works just aswell as any other.
MIDI tracks are not included in the mixdown!
To make a complete mixdown containing both MIDI and audio, you first need to record
all your MIDI music to audio tracks (by connecting the outputs of your MIDI instruments
to your audio inputs and recording, as with any other sound source).
With Cubase SX, you can also export selected tracks – this is a different
function that doesn’t create an audio mixdown.
Rather, this is a way to transfer complete tracks (including clips and events) from one
project to another
i left everything else in just in case you wanted to check through it!
1. Set up the left and right locator to encompass the area that you want
to mix down.
2. Set up your tracks, so that they play back the way you want.
This includes muting unwanted tracks or parts, making manual mixer settings and/or
activating the R (Read) automation buttons for some or all mixer channels.
3. Pull down the File menu and select “Audio Mixdown…” from the
Export submenu.
The Export Audio Mixdown dialog appears.
The upper half of this dialog is a standard file dialog, while the lower
half contains file format options and settings for the mixdown function.
Note that the available settings and options differ depending on the
selected file format
Select the bus or channel you want to mix down with the Outputs popup
menu (with Cubase SL you can only export busses, not channels).
This lists all output busses and channels in the active project.
5. Select the channel configuration for the mixdown file with the
Channels pop-up menu.
Typically you would select the same channel configuration as the bus or channel you’re
mixing down, but it’s also possible to e.g. mix down a stereo bus to a mono file. In this
case a warning will appear, asking if that’s what you want to do.
Here you will also find the “N. Chan. Split” and “N. Chan. Interleaved” options – these
allow you to create a surround mixdown file, either as one mono file per surround channel
– split – or as a single multi-channel file – interleaved (Cubase SX only).
The Channels pop-up and the “N. Chan” options are only available when
an uncompressed file format is selected (AIFF, uncompressed Wave,
Wave64 or Broadcast Wave).
For the other formats you can select stereo or mono using controls that are specific to
each format. When mixing down to 5.1 Surround, you also have the option to mix down
to Windows Media Audio Pro (Windows and Cubase SX only) – see page 670.
6. Select a file format with the File type pop-up menu.
7. Make additional settings for the file to be created.
This includes selecting sample rate, resolution, quality, etc. The available options depend
on the selected file format – see page 660.
8. If you want to automatically import the resulting audio file back into
Cubase SX/SL, activate the “Import to” checkboxes.
If you activate the “Pool” checkbox, a clip referring to the file will appear in the Pool.
Activating the “Audio Track” checkbox as well will create an audio event that plays the
clip, and place it on a new audio track, starting at the left locator.
The Import options are only available if you have selected an uncompressed
file format (AIFF, uncompressed Wave, Wave64 or Broadcast
Wave files).
9. If you activate Real-Time Export, the export will happen in real time, i.e.
the process will take the same time as regular playback.
Some VST plug-ins require this to have time to update correctly during the mixdown –
consult the plug-in manufacturers if uncertain.
CUBASE SX/SL
Export Audio Mixdown 27 – 659
When Real-Time Export is activated, the exported audio will be played
back on the Audition bus.
The fader below the Real-Time Export checkbox allows you to adjust the volume of the
Audition bus.
10.If you activate Update Display, the meters will be updated during the
export process.
This allows you to check for clipping, for example.
11.Select a folder and a name for the audio file to be created.
With some file formats you can create split stereo files (see page 661).
This will create two files (one for each side) with the same name, but
with the letter “L” appended for the left channel file and “R” for the right
channel file.
In the same way, split multi-channel (surround) files (Cubase SX only) will have the
same name followed by a number indicating the surround channel.
12.Click Save.Depending on the file format, an additional dialog may appear.For example, when exporting to MP3 format a dialog appears where you can add infoabout the song title, artist, etc. Make the desired
settings and click OK to proceed.A dialog with a progress bar is displayed while the audio file is created.If you change your mind during the file creation, you can click theAbort button to abort the operation.if you
have activated any of the “Import to” options, the file will be importedback into the project.When playing back the re-imported file in Cubase SX/SL, remember to mute the originaltracks so that you really hear the true result.
hope thast helps

"what you hear" playing all the t

I have a onboard soundblaster 24-bit li've. I am not sure exactly what the problem is, but whenever I use a mic I can always hear the background system sounds of my computer on top of my voice (ex. system ding, and music I am playing). I found it hard to believe that my mic was picking it up. So I turned down my speakers and played a sound file on my computer while recording it with "sound recorder" (the basic one that comes with windows). and sure enough even though I turned my speakers off it still played through.
Looking for a solution as I use voice communication software almost daily to coordinate with project leaders. It is very annoying not being able to hear anything without it being echoed back to them.
I hope this post makes sence to you as I am not all that versed in english =(.
Thanks in advance for your help
Edit: just realized I should probably add the fact that I do have "mic" checked under recording devices and not "what you hear"Message Edited by Spyder226 on 08-30-2006 07:24 PM

In order to hear people talking I will need my wave output unmuted...
so I dont think this will work.
As for that yes, It does not record anything (sndrec32) when I play music or something but then again I cannot hear anyone so it somewhat defeats the purpose. Let me take another crack at explaining this
Example:
) I will connect to ventrilo while playing music on my headphones.
2) I will then try and talk to my team leader by pressing PTT (push to talk hotkey). When I press this key, he will hear all of my music as well as my voice all at once. So it makes it very hard to understand me.
3) Once I turn off the music he can hear me ok again, but every little system sound that occurs he can hear at double the volume.
Also just to clarify, I only have the microphone input selected in recording and I have all the playback selections muted except for "wave" and "playback"Message Edited by Spyder226 on 08-30-200608:22 PM

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.
Cheers
Rob.

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