Recording with SB Audigy 2

I am trying to record multiple tracks, but keep each track seperate and then mix them. I have no problem recording a single track. When I record the second track, I have the first track mixing and recording into the second track. I need to hear the first track as I record the second but I do not want the second track to contain the audio from the first. Is this possible and if so what do I need to do?
thanks in advance,
tom

How to perform simultaneous multitrack recording with an Audigy 4 P

Dear Sir/Madam,
We are comming from the Uni'versity of Maribor, Slovenia. We recently buyed an Audigy 4 Pro Sound Blaster for our studio recording purposes. Here is the description of the problem:
We would like to record the speech database which will be used later to perform text to speech sinthesis (sampling rate of 96kHz, 24-bit resolution). Therefore, we need to SIMULTANEOUSLY record the stereo signals from 2 microphones located at different distances. That is, for each microphone we would have two channels which resulted in a requirement of recording 4 channels symultaneously!!!
We succeded to record the signals from either first or second microphone separately, but we couldn't record the stereo signals from the both microphones simultaneously!!! Namely, in the Creative mixer there is possible to select ONLY one recording input in a time. But we need to record the signal simultaneously from two inputs.
Our question are:
. How can we perform simultaneous, multitrack recording with an Audigy 4 Pro using two stereo inputs (e.g. from Line In and Line In 2 inputs)?
2. Which -from Creative recommended- recording software supports this multritrack recording? Namely, the recordings from the two microphones should be aligned in time as much as possible.
Thank you very much for your help!

Hi
You need recording software (Cubasis (not sure), Cubase, Sonar, etc.) which supports
ASIO drivers and a 'multichannel' microphone pre-amp/mixer to get microphone(s) connected
'separately' into Audigy Input's.
ASIO driver gives more 'Input sources' to choose from compared to WDM's one stereo/2 mono
channel capability.

Recording with SB Audigy LS

I have an Audigy LS that works fine as far as playing audio or streaming audio over the Internet, but I can get Audacity to record either steaming audio or line-in audio. If I set audacity to OSS: /dev/dsp, the mixer tool bar doesn't even show up. If I set audacity to one of the ALSA settings, the mixer tool bar does show up, but it doesn't record. Audacity will also change the playback speed on any files I am already streaming.
I don't know if this has anything to do with the problems, but I read somewhere that this soundcard does not have hardware mixing. I also have to set IEC958 to mute in order to play audio files.
I would be willing to replace this card with either the M-Audio Revolution 5.1. or 7.1 if it would solve these problems. M-Audio has been recommend in this forum, but no one seemed to address the recording issue. I would be interested in any comments concerning the above problems or any experience recording with the Revolution sound cards. I would also be interested in any differences between the two cards other than 5 channels vs. 7 channels.
Thanks
Larry

I have a similar problem too. The problem is to do with the mic not turning on. If you press tab in alsamixer, it shows what the sound card will record and what volume settings for each input line. Yet for me, even with 100% volume on mic, i can not record because mic won't "turn on"

It's a real annoyance as this sound card worked worked really well in skype... not anymore.
I admit that I am not an audio guru which is partially due to the fact that things always worked. The joke is that I have an old SB Live (BUDGET) on my old computer which can record streaming audio and Line-in audio. This machine is also running Arch so its not the OS.
One of the best suggestions I've seen on this forum is to pick up an old SB on Ebay. It totally boggles my mind that such a mundane task should be such a problem. I may swap cards which is NOT the solution I wanted since I also use window on the old machine to run Replay Radio.
Good Luck

Recording with Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Value! ag

Alright, I've been trying to record from various instruments and devices... (synth with /4 inch stereo output to /8 inch convertor, cd player with /8 inch output, guitar to amp to /4 inch stereo output to /8 inch convertor)Basically, I want to record in stereo sound.) Does line-in on the SB Audigy 2 Value card have stereo input? Whenever I've tried to record, I have only been getting the left channel. 2) Where's the game controller / midi input? Do I have to purchase the optical digital i/o 2 add on? And if I do, will this even work with the Audigy 2 value? 3) Does the SPDIF work as a stereo input for any of the devices I've been trying to record from at all? or does it require the I/O device I just mentioned?Thanks in advance,Tyler Pantella

You just can't record analog mono instruments as stereo without a stereo microphone.
If you mean to record a signal which 'stays in the middle' and not 'panned left or right' then you need
- mono to L+R (stereo) convertor adapter
or
- mono to R+L (stereo) cable
between (pre)amplifier output and soundcard input.
Note: Normally instruments are recorded mono --> easier to set instrument positions in final stereo mix.
) yes it is stereo
2) no game/midi on Value. Purchasing Digital I/O won't make any difference to this.
3) dunno, see yoyr user manual

Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro - ...trying to record with Videostudio, Virtual VCR, Roxio DVD Builder

...just bought (and installed) a SoundBlaster Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro - the one with the "breakout box" - to replace the on-board Dell audio sound system, which seems to have died after 4 months.
I am able to get good, clear sound from any and all applications that use "playback" audio.
At present, I can get "playback sound" from one program feature that came with my capture device - an Aver Media USB 300, which was plugged in to the "Line in 2" socket on the break out box. Then I tried to record with it... - "Record Operation Failure!" I'm stilll waiting to see what responses I get from the Aver message board in that regard.
Then I tried recording video (and the accompanying audio) with Ulead Videostudio 8, Virtual VCR, and Roxio DVD Builder, none of which could record sound, even in "preview mode". Before the on board sound system stopped functioning, those features worked on all of the above programs except for Virtual VCR, which I hadn't yet installed or tried out.
I've checked the Play/Record Volume Control in "Accessories/Entertainment" and the Line 2 is activated and selected. I've tried plugging in to Line /Mic but that hasn't worked either. I need to go to Radio Shack to get an adapter to plug in to Line 3 and give that a try.
But before I spend even more money, have you ever seen anything like this?
- Jeff.

Jorge,
Thanks kindly for the suggestion, during the installation it did not complain about this patch being installed allready, I'll give this one more shot and see if it persits.
I ran memtest on the machine (10 cycles) wow this thing (G5) is loud in single user mode. I guess the fans don't have power management enabled.
I'm guessing that the issue is from lack of RAM, (512) but I am not 100% on this. Though my research points towards that, It's kind of odd that an app would reach into some other memory segment.
Thank You Again.
I throught all Tiger updates would be obtainable via "Software Update" . I should have searched support.apple.com first.
Quad G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 512MB Ram (Stock Config)

Recording with the SB Audigy 2 zs plat PRO external is horribly low volume... setup probl

I have my guitar plugged into line /line 2 and whenever I enable recording, the sound that is recorded is incredibly low. I have to set my speaker and system volume to the max just to hear a little bit of sound(i have the 7. S750 creative speakers). I also experiance this with the mic i'm using. I'm using a cheaper professional Shure microphone and have it hooked up, via a XLR converter form radio shack, to my external SB hub. This mic requires no pre-amp and its turned on but the sound is also very low. I was wondering if this is normal, or if i'm missing some vital peace of information on how to record properly. Oh and also, I have the recording volume maxed in media source and on the external hub and I have also used the M-Audio: mobile pre usb, to record with the same guitar/microphone, and it sounded fine volume wise, what gives? my rate is 320 bits.

OldPainless,
I'm hoping that means that you found the connector and all is working now? I know it happens around here more often than we would like to admit. Frequently swapping out hardware leads to forgotten things like this.

Help getting my headset/mic to work with my Audigy 2 ZS I/O

Hi,
I have an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro with the external I/O dri've. I am trying to plug my headset/mic into my external I/O dri've, however I can't get the microphone to work. I have used the headset/mic with my other computer without any problems, so I know it is working. There has got to be a problem with the I/O connections or the way I have set up the Audigy 2 ZS.
Here are the connections I have made:
Headset speaker cord: Plugged into the external I/O hub headset port --- Works great.
Mic speaker cord: Plugged into the external I/O hub Line /Mic In port --- Doesn't work.
I have tried talking to a friend using Skype as well as using the Windows XP Sound Test Wizard, neither once picks up my voice from the mic.
Thanks for the help, I am at my wits end with this thing.

time? How do I get all the inputs recognized? I thought using the ASIO driver would
help but it makes me switch the audio rate to 48K instead of 44.. Does the ASIO driver
only work at 48k? What are the correct drivers to use for recording into Sonar?
Thanks,
JD
Audigy 2 Zs do have another ASIO driver for 24-bit/96 kHz. You need to set it acti've through Sonar Options..Audio..Drivers tab (when ASIO is selected as device). Unselect all I/O drivers there and then select those 24/96 I/Os. NOTE: 24/96 mode is for line sources only so, no Mic input w/ this driver w/o external mic pre-amp through line input.
Audigy cards gives best quality w/ 96 kHz so, it's best if you use it in your projects ... you can then, after final mixdown (to 24/96 WAV file), use software like Voxengo r8brain for SRC (96 kHz ->44. kHz) and dithering (24-bit->6-bit) w/ lowest quality loss (SRC and dithering made w/ Sonar don't give as good results).
W/ ASIO 24/96, or any other than ASIO 6/48 driver, you can record from one source at once only. W/ ASIO 6/48 you should be able to record from all separately listed sources simultaenously and w/ kX drivers maybe from couple sources more.

Lost Record Feature on Audigy

I've been doing some reel-to-reel conversions with my Audigy 2 ZS card through the Line 3 input. It's been working fine for months until I put in a new ATI Radeon 9550 video card. Now I can hear the input through Line 3, but it records silence and shows nothing on the meters. I can affect the volume with the break-out box but can't get it to show any input on the WaveStudio.
My guess is that the Radeon has changed the file associations but I can't find any specific one that has not been changed back by me to Windows Media Player. The video card replaced a previous ATI on the same AGP slot and I've not had any problems with anything else. Nothing under Device Manager shows a problem. Running the Creative diagnostics shows everything normal. Here are system specs:
MSI Motherboard
Intel 4.7 Processor
GB RAM
4 HD's totaling 500 MB
Win XP Home
Thanks in advance for your help!
Scott

It is the best board for Soundblaster card queries, but you have to remember this is a peer-to-peer board. It could be no one else has experienced a similar problem, or has anything to add that might help.
If you need Support from Creative directly, help is available through the Support channels (phone and e-mail).
Did you check the mixer to make sure nothing was adjusted there? Is everything still set correctly in Control Panel > Sounds & Audio Devices?

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.

Importing to iMovie: How do I use an external usb mic when recording with the built-in FaceTime HD Camera?

Hello all
I'm scheduled to work with a friend this week; I'm going to help him make a simple audition DVD. I promised him I had the necessary equipment and such.
I was importing from the webcam using iMovie. If I can't use my external mic to record for the video, there is more involved in the editing process. I was hoping to record the video and audio into one package. I'm using the built-in FaceTime webcam on my macbook pro and a ZoomH1 on usb.
I've tried changing the audio in system preferences: input to H1. This works when recording with audacity or anything else. I even changed the input on FaceTime to H1. There aren't any preferences I can find in iMovie to change the input for importing video directly from the webcam.
How do I change the audio input for direct import on iMovie?
OR
Is there something else I can do to have HD video and HQ audio captured in one video file on my macbook pro?
I suppose I can record the video and audio separately but that is usually much more involved. This is why I got this usb microphone lol.
Thanks in advance,
-Seth

I just found using QuickTime Player to record a movie works great. I can easily change the audio input. iMovie is silly. lol
If I missed anything let me know.
Thanks

Recording fios tv to DVD recorder with tivo/fios cablecard

ok this post is for my dad....and if ur thinking why the hack does he want a dvd recorder when they already have a tivo...don't ask my dad is kinda weird he still "tapes" shows on VHS tapes using vcr, and tapes radio shows on cassettes....then again he also still pyas his bills with a pen, a check and the us postal service.....
anyway, I didn't know much about the world of dvd recorders before a couple days ago, so I have a few questions before and if I actually decide to get him one.
Question 1: we currently have an HD TV with an HD tivo connected and a multistream verizon fios cablecard. My question is regarding copyright limitations....what prevents you from just recording any tv program onto dvd, as you still can onto a VHS? and what percentage of the channels/shows have this protection? like would he only be able to record from the original 12 or so broadcast channels? this is my main concern....he watched a lot of the sports channels like espn espn2 golf channel nbatv etc....
Question 2: also, when doing my research I thought of another benefit a dvd recorder may have. I have been putting all the family home videos which are on vhs onto dvd, but it's a bit of a process. I use an external usb capture device made by Hauppage hooked up to the VCR then the computer captures it realtime and generates an mpeg video file on my hard drive, THEN I have to spend the 1 or 2 hours it takes to convert to DVD format and burn with Nero so it can be played on a regular DVD player......so....question being....
can a standalone DVD recorder hook up to a VCR to transfer video direct to a DVD, or do you have to buy a DVD recorder with a built in VHS deck?
Question 3: oh and someone once told me that you can only play the recorded DVD's on the recorder, and not other regular DVD players...I couldn't believe this was actually true...but was he right?
TIA!

Answers:
Question 1: if the DVD recorder is connected to the TIVO there shouldn't be anything prohibiting him from recording. The signal sent out from the TIVO is an unencrypted feed that can be processed by anything (TV, VCR, DVD recorder, ETC). As long as theres no restrictions within the DVD recorder itself, you should be fine to record anything. This also means you have to record realtime (press play on TIVO and record on the DVD recorder and wait the amount of time for the event to end before pressing stop)
Question 2: You would need to talk to the tech support for your DVD recorder. Its going to depend on what types of video streams and formats it will accept as a source
Question 3nce again this is a question for the DVD recorder tech support, not Verizon. It depends on the file format that the recorder saevs the file as. Not only that, but different players also can read different formats. So you have to take a look at the recorder and the dvd play back device

How-To allow records with Overlapping Time from SAP R/3

Hi guys,
Made reference to SAP Note 336229.
Maintained my Transfer Rules of Data Source 0HR_PA_PA_1 to Info Source 0HR_PA_PA_1 and all is green! Unfortunately, still NO data and error IDOC message is " The data request was a full update. In this case, the corresponding table in the source system does not contain any data."
"The extractor of the DataSource reads the master data tables of the Employee (0EMPLOYEE) and person (0PERSON) InfoObjects and makes changes to these time-dependent attributes available as headcount changes"...says SAP
Info Object person (0PERSON) works!!!, however Info Object(0EMPLOYEE) is giving me problem whereby in SAP R/3 Data Source (Employee - Education and Training) 0EMPLOYEE_0022_ATTR allows time overlapping of records, BUT BW generates an error " The time interval ['99991231'/'19930104'] & (from/to) for the data records 46 and 47 overlaps in characteristic 0EMPLOYEE "
For example, lets assume there is Employee X with the following entry in SAP R/3.
Begin Date||| End Date ||| SubType
01.09.2003||| 01.09.2004||| Professional Cert.
01.09.2003||| 01.09.2006||| Degree
SAP R/3 allows this overlapping of time records however, BW does NOT. How can I tackle this overlapping issue in SAP BW?
With much appreciation!

Hi guys,
Please assist to resolve this.
I attempted to assigned 0DATETO and 0DATEFROM to my attributes of 0EMPLOYEE, but it gives me the following error
 Characteristic 0EMPLOYEE: Attribute 0DATETO cannot be used w. time-dependent attribte
 InfoObject 0DATETO cannot be used as an attribute if attibutes already exist that are time-dependent. Attribute 0ANSALARY is such an attribute. A field in the InfoObject 0DATETO is automatically generated in the master data table.
Once again, what I want is to be able to allow the Records with HighDate in R/3 into my BW Cubes.
Please please assist !

How do I use a song in my iTunes library to record with in garage band on my iPhone?

How do I use a song in my iTunes library to record with in garage band on my iPhone? Like music from my library I want to use invGarageBand to record over.

Short answer:
Click Hide Song(s), it is what you wanted to do...
Long answer:
iTunes in the Cloud is a feature of your iTunes store account that allows you to redownload or stream your past purchases. When you delete a purchased track that is downloaded to your computer (like the first one shown here) you are asked if you also want to hide the song from iCloud. This would remove it from the computer and also stop it showing up with the iCloud symbol as the other tracks from that album (which are not downloaded) do.
If a track shows with the cloud symbol you can play (stream) it by double-clicking the title, or click the cloud symbol to download a local copy to your library. If you try to delete one of these tracks you get a slightly different message confirming that you want to hide the track. Clicking hide will remove the listing from the library and any other device that shows your past purchases.
Should you want to retrieve any item hidden in this way at a later date use Store > View My Account > iTunes in the Cloud > Hidden Purchases > Manage.
To hide all your previous purchases that are not downloaded to your computer use Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
