SB Audigy SE and recording input possib

I just bought an Audigy last week cause my onboard sound isn't supported for Vista. I can hear fine through my 2. speakers and I can record fine. The issue is say I wanted to record an MP3 with windows sound recorder, its not possible?
Think of this meaning instead of recording what i speak in the mic, record what I play on itunes.
Now if i could get both at the same time even better. Be able to play a song and sing along with it for instance. But id settle for just being able to switch to some "line-in" then record what the speakers are outputting.
My old on-board soundcard would do this basic functionality. I thought buying a SoundBlaster would certainly be able to do it. Please let me know if this is possible before my 30 day return period is over so i can go back to my onboard sound.
Also as a side note I also hear a digital frequency/static blair through my speakers every few minutes. what could be interferring with the frequency a wifi device or something? This also wasn't a problem on my intel onboard sound.

KokChoy-CL,
Maybe you could also help with this (please):? the Mic input doesn't work on a new SB Audigy SE. I've been reading a lot of posts regarding this problem, but no solutions anywhere.
The Audigy SE uses a "FlexJack" for:? Line In/Mic In/Digital I/O (DIGITAL_IO); all via the same?blue jack. I haven't tried Line In or Digital I/O, but the Mic input is not working.
I know the?Mic is good (the?Mic?works with both onboard audio?and?a SoundBlaster Li've! card on the same machine).
I read elsewhere (for the X-Fi card) that there is a setting for controlling which input?to use on the FlexJack--this setting is nowhere to be found in the Audigy software.

I can't seem to get GB to recognize my Behringer X1222 USB Mixer. It will record, but shouldn't I be able to see and/or select which input channel(s) that I will record from? Can I record more than one channel at a time, and record multi tracks?

I can't seem to get GarageBand to recognize my Behringer X1222 USB Mixer. It will record, but only on the generic "USB Input, without seeing or letting me select the input channel from the mixer. Can't find any drivers from Behringer. How do I getGB to "see" the mixer? Thanks, I'm a newbie to Macs in genreal, and recording...

the x1222 includes a 2 channel audio interface, 2 channels are all you can get from it.
the most you can do is record to 2 tracks at a time; skim this tute to see how:

What if Input and Record Ready buttons both enabled?

If I enable the Input button on a track, I can hear the output. If I disable the Input button but then enable the Record Ready button, I can also hear the output.
Is there ever a purpose for having them both enabled at the same time? I'm just trying to understand them better.
Thanks.

I try to clarify in a simple way:
The Input button is important during recording.
It is similar to analog tape recording process - you can listen to "signal coming to the Tape Head but before is recorded" and "just recorded and playing from the Tape" - so in first case you hear only the Input and in second you hear the Output. You can choose listening Pre Tape Head and Post Tape Head.
If you enable Input button the you can hear signal coming to the Input only and of you disable one you hear the sound read from disk.
First function is called: Input Only. Second one: Auto Input.
Why Auto ? Because your DAW system is automatically switching between :
1) INPUT - during recording and 2) OUTPUT - during playback.
For example: if you have just recorded the guitar part on Track no.5 and you want to correct some and record again but not whole part but only one region then select the recording-start position and to be accurate with rec-start point you need to pre-listen to a few seconds before start recording.
In 1) case you will hear only your guitar ready to record and in 2) case you hear what you've recorded before and in the moment when recording starts you immediately hear your ready to record guitar - DAW automatically switches to Input signal - so just play and record again selected region.
After pressing stop - listen to corrected region - in Play mode DAW always switches to playback mode and you hear only the Output. In Record mode you can choose between Input Only and Auto Input.
Hope be helpfull

Difference between batch input method and batch input recording in LSMW?

hi,
plz tell me the difference between batch input method and batch input recording in LSMW?
thanks & regards
Ruban

Hi Ruban,
The main difference between the two is in lsmw we can view the code status at any time just by coming to prvious steps, but whereas in batch input method unless the recording is finished we cant view the code.
second diff is tht we need to do lot of coding in batch inptu whereas here in lsmw we need not do much coding and mapping to data.
third diff is that batch input is both inbound and outbound where as lsmw is only inbound.
hope u got the differences.....

Can't get Audigy 4 to record audio with Cubase SX

I'm trying to record at home with a mic, Audigy 4 (non-pro) and Cubase 3 SX. Mic is pluged without preamp or mixer directly in the mic (not LineIn).
I have choosen the Creative ASIO Driver in Cubase.
My 2 Problems are:
1. I always here the mic directly in the speakers (direct passthough / monitoring). When I mute the mic in the xp mixer (playback setting) then I don't get any audio recorded. But I want to have the "wet" signal from Cubase in my speakers/headphones (e.g. with reverb, chorus, eq etc.). Usinge the cubase "direct Monitoring" asio checkbox or the monitoring button for the track doesn't change anything.
2. I always get the all other playing tracks on the recording tracks, seems like I always record a kind of what-you-here channel.
Is there anyone using a Audigy 4 with Cubase 3 and direct mic-input without mixer/preamp successfully? And if yes, would you please post or send me your configuration
a. from the xp controlpannel (playing and recording settings),
b. from the creative suround mixer,
c. from cubase ASIO setup and
d. the choosen in and out connections in cubase (where you connect the in and out ASIO channels...)
I'm getting mad at this ...
Regards
Pest

Sorry that still doesn't work.
I don't have a Mic L/R VST-Input (only 14 items, no #15 and #16 (as on your other post: "ASIO inputs 15 and 16 come from the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 eX Drive Line In 1/Mic In stereo input;"), see left panel on the pic, german names ...). There IS a difference between Audigy 2 ZX and Audigy 4? None of the 14 ADIO Inputs seems to work (no signal)
And about the small speaker icon (Monitor) in Cubase: doesn't work! If I mute the Mic in the XP "playing" mixer I don't get any mic input at all. But shouldn't all mixer settings be ignored by the ASIO driver? I'm still confused about that - and still got no solution.
Any more ideas? Someone ever tried a similar configuration or could verify / test this for me?

Does the Audigy SE support digital input?

) I have an Audigy SE and I was wondering if it supported digital input. I was looking around the recording devices on my computer and I noticed that it said S/PDIF-In on my SB Audigy. I'm planning on connecting my ps3 to to it using optical so I can use my PC speakers without having to constantly switch from PC to ps3 but of course thats only if the audigy se does support digital input.

Yes it does... but you'll need to purchase a separate Digital I/O module for Digital In (visit creative's site for more details).
Note:
If you make use of the Digital I/O module you'll lose your mic/line-in jack

Audigy 4 and midi keyboard soc

Hi, I've got a basic Audigy 4 soundcard, not the pro edition with the external box, but the pci internal card. I'm wondering if it's possible to connect a synthesizer which has midi input/output sockets to this soundcard. At first glance it doesn't look like it is as the card only has little jackplug sockets and I belei've for midi you need a multipin 'joystick' socket which isn't present. I know I could connect the keyboard through the mic socket and record the output as a sound source but I don't think this would work with midi music programs that produce a score when the instrument is played. Any data transfered this way would be just raw sound information. Thanks.

No, there is no connection for MIDI bracket so, you need to buy either
- USB MIDI interface (~$40-->) or
- some cheap PCI soundcard w/ MIDI controller onboard (~$8->) (disable the card and use the MIDI controller only)
- new good/excellent) PCI/USB/Firewore audio interface w/ MIDI I/(O) (~$00-->)
Some motherboards do have Game/MIDI connector/controller onboard so, have you checked this from your motherboard already?

Request for advice on Audigy 2, Audigy RX and ASIO

I believe this may be my first posting on this forum although I have visited many times. I'm not a techie and a lot of the jargon is lost on me so apologies if I go off track a bit.
I am a big BIG fan of the Audigy 2 and I had been using it very happily on my Windows XP machines for at least 6 or 7 years and 3 rebuilds. When I upgraded to Windows Vista and then 7 (reluctantly) all hell broke loose.
Let me explain briefly how I use the card. I record and perform music tracks and I also regularly broadcast through a digital radio stream. Using the "What U Hear" recording setting I record and broadcast voice on mic simultaneously with backing tracks. The recording facility and EAX functions, particularly reverb, were therefore essential to me. It was a sombre moment when I lost them in the Windows upgrades, which turned to panic soon after trialling replacements from various manufacturers, Creative included.
I had a common problem with all of them; latency.
I must have tried about a half dozen or so alternatives. Each were PCIe connectivity, each had ASIO functionality and each had an infuriating latency delay between input and output (singing and hearing) that despite being milliseconds made it impossible to perform or record. I had to return them all.
The problems Audigy had with Windows after XP are already well documented and it was only thanks to the extraordinary efforts of certain enthusiasts developing upgraded drivers etc. (Thank you Mr K!) that I was able to maintain use of my beloved Audigy 2. It has rallied magnificently through much adversity and I persevered with the minor anomalies that I was unable to resolve.
For example, changing the default recording device from microphone to What U Hear and vice versa (through Windows audio settings since the Audigy panel can't do it now) would indicate that the change was successful but doesn't actually activate until I reboot. Never got to the bottom of that that and I could live with it but recently there have been some other glitches.
Music playback (on any software) will drop randomly to terrible static needing a reboot to reset.
Skype voice sounds awful to whoever is listening to me. On the rare occasion I get it working I save the settings (I have tried numerous fixes) only to find that the problem returns next time I reboot. There seems to be no consistency to the cause.
The Audigy RX looks like it will do the job for me but I am concerned about the latency issue. Is it related to the ASIO function?. As I said earlier I am NOT a techie; only through trial and error did I manage to keep the Audigy 2 going for this long.
ASIO I've read about and it seems now to be an industry standard, supposedly to improve performance but so far I have found quite the opposite. I'm not sure what it really is, how it works or if I need it. I don't think Audigy 2 had it and that was fine for me.
So please help; what can I do about this cursed latency?

oh, and I also have two LaCie NAT drives with ethernet connections which I'd like to be able to access from the iMac and the MacBook Pro...
Thanks!

Audigy 2 NX recording sample rate question

Hi, I have two questions about the sample rate used when recording in the Audigy 2 NX -
When recording an analog signal (Line In), is the actual?sampling rate at which the analog signal is being sampled different from the requested sample rate ? For example, when recording at XX Khz, does the actual sampling of the analog signal really?happen at XX Khz or does it get sampled at a different fixed rate(48khz?) and then gets re-sampled to XX Khz ?
When recording a digital signal (spdif in), if the recording sampling rate specified is the same as the sampling rate of the input signal then does the card record this digital input signal in a bit-perfect fashion ? For example, if the digital input signal is 6bit and 44.Khz, and the recording is also being done at 6bit and 44.Khz then does the card actually record the signal at exactly that rate without modifying the data in any way ? or does it record it at a different rate and then re-sample internally to arri've at the requested recording rate ?
Now I know this card works a little different in terms of re-sampling when the 'Digital Input only' checkbox is checked. So I am looking for the answers to these questions keeping in my mind this option as well.
Thanks!

thanks for your replies.
katman,
I checked that thread. Although I wonder if the same thing applies to recording at rates higher than 48khz as well ?as I am more interested in finding out if when recording 96khz does the signal really get sampled at true 96khz or something else ? But, Upsampling a recording (not playback)?to a higher frequency doesn't make sense?because you can't create what you lost by recording at a?lower sampling rate. A test for checking this would be to try and record a signal that has frequency content well above 24khz but less than 48khz. If that content gets captured that means it is indeed recording at 96khz, if it gets lost then its recording at 48khz.
flipflop,
I have opened up the soundcard and messed around with a lot. Here's a list of the chips alongwith their descriptions based on whatever I could find?about them -
Sigmatel STAC9460S - Codec
JRC 4556A - Headphone output opamp
ST MC33078 - Line level output/input dual opamp. (Total 4).
Philips UDA334 - Low Power DAC
Philips ISP58BD - USB device controller
Creative CA086 - DSP
Cirrus Logic EP7309 - High-Performance, Low-Power System-on-Chip Enhanced Digital Audio Interface
ST M29W400BB - 4Mbit Flash Memory
ST LD33 - 3.3v regulator (?)
ST LD8 - .8v regulator (?)
Although the datasheet of the codec suggests that it supports all sampling rates, I'd have to dig deeper to really find out if it is handicapped to only one standard rate for recording - http://www.alsa-project.org/~james/d...tac9460-ds.pdf

Audigy 2ZS Platnum Recording Advice

I am currently trying to work with the Audigy platform and Sony Acid Music ver 7 (I think). I've tried Sonar Home 6, but found it too confusing, although it did recognise all the Audigy inputs.
Anyway, my first question to anyone with experience with the Audigy platform is; how can I choose more than one input and address it to two channels in a recording software. i.e Line Input on say Aux In 2 and Mic on another channel at the same time?
Any takers on this one?
I'd appreciate any input.
Thanks.
Mitch

Hi!
You can't plug your bass directly into your card because of impedance mismatching; your bass is at instrument level while the soundcard has line-level inputs. The bass expects to be plugged into a high impedance (Hi-Z) input. A card's line-ins are usually around 10K ohms - too low for instruments like guitars which typically require 500k and above. Direct plugging will only result in a thin sound and low level which easily distorts when you try to crank up the gain.
Check if your practice amp has a line out or DI out as previously suggested. Bear in mind that this is mono signal so you may have to route that to your mixer before going into the card. If you want to bypass your amp, you will need a DI box that will convert the unbalanced output of the bass to balanced; it will also match impedances going into the mixer's balanced (XLR/mic)inputs. Plus, the use of a balanced cable from DI to mixer will provide a degree of noise cancellation and you can use relatively long cables. Best of all, the DI will retain the tone of your bass.

Real instruments - recording/input levels

...when i am recording real instruments, the input level and recording level are inaccessible.
i click on them with the mouse, but nothing happens.
are they preset? non-adjustable?
i can adjust the playback volume, of course, as well as other parameters like pan, monitor on/off, mute, solo, and add compression, echo, reverb and so on.
thanks in advance!

Problem with Adobe Audition 2.0 and recording from a 1212m.

I bought a brand new machine and have be configuring it all week. Everything has been going well, except getting Adobe Audition 2.0 (the new version) to “hear” sound from the 1212m.
The intel 975 motherboard has an integrated HD sound system already on board and I have been able to get adobe audition to recognize it and record from it. This is what I have Windows XP Pro set to as my default sound card.
I installed the 1212m and I have gotten my monitors to work by using the XLR jacks on the monitors to the ¼ inch jacks on the 1212m using a VST (NI’s Kontakt 2) as the audio source. So it works.
What I can’t seem to get to work is getting Adobe Audition to “hear” the sound coming from the 1212m.
Patchmix seems to be working ok. The audio bars jump each time I hit a note on the keyboard.
I have configured Audition by going to Audio Hardware Setup and setting it to EMU ASIO and tried every combination of INPUT and OUTPUT, but when I hit the Record button in Audition it just flat lines..
I was hoping that once the audio made it from the VST though the 1212m and out to the speakers, that getting Audition to record it would be easy, but that hasn’t been the case.
The Intel 955 Extreme Edition and the 975 motherboard are brand new and I’m worried that being on the bleeding edge of technology, that one of the drivers isn’t working correctly and causing me hours of debugging a problem that is unworkable from my end.
Hopefully the problem is just some small stupid thing that I’m doing or failing to do (like normal).
Any ideas would be helpful.
thanks

I'm just saving it into a file in "My documents" on the internal hard drive. It's a computer in the office which has been used my other people before me and I have my own file which I was always able to save Adobe sound files into before, so I don't think it's anything to do with me not being allowed or read-only.
I've also been trying to save it onto USB hard drives. This works when I save it under a different name, but not when I'm just trying to update a file i've been working on. Basically I have to create a new file everytime I add something, so like "myaudit1", "myaudit2", "myaudit3" etc etc, even though it's the same piece of work just updated.
Hope that makes sense!

Can Express 9 play and record multiple instruments at the same time?

I have logic express 9 and was told with my interface that I can play and record different instruments at the same time on Express 9. Is this true because I have spent a long time trying to figure out how.

Hi,
to record multiple Inputs at a time, open up the appropriate number of audio tracks. Now for each track, select the correct Input in the Channelstrip.
Now, ARM all these tracks for recording by clicking the little red R in the track header or channelstrip. Now if you hit record, all these tracks should record simultaneously their respective inputs.
All other existing tracks should playback while recording.

Generate a series of waveforms and record the data in a file

System:
Win7
Labview 8.5 or 10 (can choose)
PXI-1033 rack with:
PXI-5421 AWG
PXI-4071 DMM
PXI-6542 Digital IO
PXI-4110 DCPower
PXI-5124 Digitizer
I am working on a summer project to create a functional test system for four different types of PCBs. I will use a test rig as an interface to these PCBs, where each type will be identified by its position. Please see attached UML as to how I want the program to run.
I want a user settings box pop up when the application is started, where the operator must enter his name and choose which type of board. Further, after entering these details, I want the application to start testing according to which type of board is in the system and which type the operator indicates (the user prompt for card details is just a precaution).
I am trying to figure out what sort of architecture I should use for the LV part of it. So far I've managed to run the AWG and digitizer as two seperate VIs, but I've read a little bit about using the Producer/Consumer architecture, and want to know if this is a good idea? And which parts should be where? The AWG will input data to the PCB, which will be recorded by the digitizer and then testet using a mathscript and recorded to file.
So I figure I have to use some sort of event and sequence structure. For example, I want to output two sinusoidal signals with different frequencies after each other and check the voltage amplitude of the scoped output signal and record this.
If someone could point me in a direction of how to start, I would be very happy. After looking through some of the topics here, I have seen that it is often suggested to use the producer/consumer architecture, so before I do a lot of work which I might have to re-do I want to ask for help will post my solutions as I go.

But I don't see this app on my device after I restarted the device so it should have been installed on my device. It seems icloud has created some kind of dead loop that makes it not able to get the correct status about this app on my device.
