?????Snapshots. Audio creation. X-Fi. DONT WO

??Hey all.
How do I delete the 'snapshots' i've made in the audio creation mode's console.
I have seen similar posts here but they were from at least a year ago. No answers?
Also. I've noticed that if you change the master sampling rate in this same console. It doesnt 'list' it as changed until you reload the console. Strange.

I know... I CAN see the X.
I press the X. Select my snapshot I want to delete. Press Ok. And everytime it says:
'Do you want to delete this snapshot? RMAA 2496'
When that is NOT what I selected..
Even If i choose OK. It doesnt delete ANYTHING.
Buggy.

  • No sound in audio creation mode

    I have a problem with my Soundblaster X-FI Titanium PCIe: after switching to audio creation mode, i don't hear any sound from my speaker, although the bars of the monitor in the console and the bar of the windows output devices window are showing there is a sound output. Game mode and entertainment mode are working without any problems, except the asio driver causing a system freeze when i want to use it in Traktor Pro, thatswhy i thought the asio driver might work better in audio creation mode. Does anyone have an idea why i'm not getting any sound in this mode?
    Thanks for any help
    Max

    your problems are not isolated, but they do seem to be specific to all X-fi's and some other factor. There is another thread about other people experiencing crackling and popping problems. The xtreme music does have limitations in its flexibility due to no IO board, but you would have known that from a review.
    Put simply, this is NOT how the card should sound - my own Xtreme music displays none of your symptoms.
    As for the person talking about reviews - to what degree is this relevant? While a good review would tell you that the modes are pointless and the quality goes down in game mode, it would certainly NOT tell you that all X-Fi Xtreme music cards display crackling and popping - because they dont. This is buggy behaviour.
    As for the poster talking about the X-Fi Xtreme music being a 'bridge' between the old audigies and X-Fi's, well you have no idea what you are talking about. The Xtreme music is identical to other X-Fi's except for these differences -
    no IO board
    no Xram
    And these differences are definitely not the source of his problems.
    The architecture is otherwise identical. It is foolish to talk of a 'bridge' and use the nvidia 6200 as a metaphor when that card has significantly poorer architecture and performance than other 6 series video cards, while the xtreme music does not.Message Edited by irR4tiOn4L on 05-26-2006 09:59 PMMessage Edited by irR4tiOn4L on 05-26-2006 0:0 PM

  • Mic not working in audio creation m

    hey all,
    just bought my x-fi platinum and I got it home and tried to do some vocal recording.
    my mic is a labtec desktop mic w/ noise canceling that I would like to use to record my podcasts with and it's plugged into the line in2/mic 2 port on the front panel 5 /4 box. I switch over to audio creation mode and set the first input to microphone and even with the volume knob on the 5 /4 box cranked up all the way all I get is static. the flexijack setting is set to microphone but when I directly plug my mic into the card itself I get nothing but static with that setup as well.

    ?i found http://www.muvaudio.com/?but that doesnt fix the problem?my mic jack only works in audio creation mode.. and thats not a fully functional grade A productthat is defecti've in some way.. could be driver?Message Edited by anwaypasible on 03-03-200705:20 AM

  • Sound Blaster PCI Express - No option for AUDIO CREATION mode.

    I need help. ?I purchased another computer from Dell, with a Sound Blaster board just as I have done with three other computers. ?This makes four.
    I ordered it with the Sound Blaster board because of the THREE MODES, Entertainment Mode, Gaming Mode, and Audio Creation Mode. ?The Audio Creation mode is really what I want because it allows to add reverb.
    So when I get this latest Dell with the Sound Blaster card it is a
    Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI Express
    The Volume control does not show the three modes. GAMING, ENTERTAINMENT, and AUDIO Creation. ?It only shows the ENTERTAINMENT mode.
    So I thought perhaps those were enhancements that had to be installed from the Creative Sound Blaster CD that Dell provides. ?I put the CD in the dri've, and it goes into install mode and then when you start the install it says do you want to add additional software to which I answer YES.
    Then it says install your CD in the CD dri've, which of course it is already in there. ?The CD looks funky. ?No scratches, it is new, but it has an uncharacteristic distortion on the data side so it is probably bad.
    I download the drivers off the Creative site and it says, you have a newer version already installed on your computer.
    I have called Dell 5 times over the course of 2.5 hours being disconnected all 5 times after speaking to people with extremely thick accents that know as much about computers as I know about brain surgery.
    BOTTOM LINE
    1.Does the Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI Express have the ability to support the three modes: ?Entertainment, Gaming, and AUDIO CREATION.
    If so, how do I get it to workHow do I get a new CD
    2. If this card does not support the three modes, what card doesThe Sound Blaster cards in my other three Dells all support these three modes.
    Thanks!
    Doc from Las Vegas

    No the Xtreme Audio doesn't not support the three modes, it only has Entertainment mode. Any X-Fi card that is not a Xtreme Audio does support the three modes.

  • Best audio creation mode settings for monitoring?

    I currently have the PCI-E X-Fi Titanium Fatality Professional and a new set of Klipsch ProMedia 2. speakers. I am a novice in music production and am looking to give myself the best driver settings in audio creation mode for the most accurate recording and monitoring possible. I realize that studio monitors are recommended for this sort of thing, but I am just getting my feet wet at this point and will be the only one listening to my mixes, so whether or not they sound good on other speakers is not that important right now.
    What I am most concerned with is volume, I have read that higher volume levels in the control panel can cause distortion, but that lower volume levels cause you to lose some of the highs and lows. Is any of this true? Or does the volume make no difference? I have tried several settings, usually either leaving it at the default preset which sets the volume to 67%, or the RMAA 96 KHz preset which has it maxed at 00%. Honestly I really can't tell much of a difference, but if one setting is in fact better than another, I would like to hear it.
    For right now I have been using the RMAA 96 KHz preset and turning on EAX as I do play some games from time to time. Which brings up another question, does EAX have any effect on music playback? Anyway I have messed with the EQs some, but I really want as flat a response as possible so I always have it either at Flat or disabled entirely. Klipsch recommends having the Wave volume at 70%, how can I access this from the Audio Creation mode?
    Sorry, lots of questions here, hopefully someone can take a moment to help out a noob, thanks in advance.
    Oh right, my specs (probably not important but whatever):
    Windows 7 Home Premium x64
    PCI Express X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Pro
    Klipsch ProMedia 2.
    Intel Q6600
    2 x 2GB Corsair Dominator PC2-8500
    Asus P5B-Deluxe Wi/Fi
    Nvidia 275GTX Superclocked
    Corsair 620W

    Well gaming is an extremely low priority for me, I realize the game mode is best for gaming purposes but I am really interested in mixing/recording music with a MIDI controller in Ableton and finding settings that give me the most accurate monitoring, don't really care how games sound to be honest.

  • Problems with X-Fi Elite Pro Creative Audio Creation Conso

    Hi I am Sergio Fucchi from Italy and I am 47 years old and I like to create my own CD from my analog li've recording of jazz and classical music.
    I have changed all the top quality of Creative cards: Li've!, Audygy2, Audygy2 ZS, Audygy4 Pro and now X-Fi Elite Pro. Now I have a problem to visualize correctly the console of Audio Creation Mode on my monitor at 800x660 because I can't to resize the windows, but I can only pan it around my screen. With the others modes I have not any problems.
    My video card is an ATI All-in-wonders 9600pro with latest drivers, my PC is an AMD-XP 3000+ with a GB fo ram and s.o. is XP SP2.
    Thank You.

    Sorry to tell you that the Audio Creation Mode Console is designed to work only at 024*768 resolution or higher.

  • X-fi in Audio Creation O

    Hi, I have a?few questions. I mostly use my new X-fi Platinum for audio creation - recording my 2" singles & then burning them onto CD-R so they can be played on any domestic CD player. . What is the difference between the Master sample rate (at the bottom left-hand corner on the Audio Creation Mixer console) & the sample rate at which I record as listed towards the right of the console? I have set both to 6-Bit 44.00 Khz because that is the rate at which audio CD's work. I have tried recording in 24-Bit when I had my old ADS 'Instant Music' outboard card, & that just creates bigger WAV files that won't play in CD players. I want to know what are the optimum settings that I should use for best sound quality to be reproduced on the final CD-R. I have read on this board that the X-fi works in complicated ways - so what would be the settings that I should use doing this one task?2. For Audio Creation only, would I be better off using the 'Bit Matched' setting - what advantages are there in using this mode to create WAV files for burning onto CD-R?3. Is there any way of using the Crystalizer to beef-up my old WAV files that I did with the crappy ADS card & turning them into new WAV files that have been enhanced - so I can then burn these to CD-R? I know I can listen to them through this processing, but can I 'convert' these inferior WAV's into an 'X-Fi-ed' version if you see what I mean? Or, have I got to re-do all my many hundreds of WAV files using theX-Fi?4. When recording using the Audio Creation console using 'what u hear', is the sound being recorded with the crystalizer effect?Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    The master samplerate is the rate at which the X-fi works internally and at which the analog input signal is converted. The right hand recording sample rate is the rate at which the audio stream is saved. If you record at higher bitrate/samplerate then save to lower bitrate/samplerate the extra information is lost, although the SRC (sample rate conversion) algorithm might add dithering to make the final 44khz file sound better. If you record at lower bitrate/samplerate and record at higher bitrate/samplerate then the file will take more space without any extra informations given (waste). So if you just want to record : (no processing) you can savely set both to the same values or try to record at higher rates (which means processing) and compare it with the : file (if it sounds any better to you).
    2. For Audio Creation only, would I be better off using the 'Bit Matched' setting - what advantages are there in using this mode to create WAV files for burning onto CD-R?
    "Bit Matched" means that the audio stream is not going through the X-FI's DSP (Digial Signal Processor), which means you cannot use any effects, Crystalizer or EQ and the samplerate is not converted in any way. The advantage is in (semi)professional audio processing like in Cubase where you don't want the X-FI to mess with your input signal in any way but have it "pure". It also means lower latencies in those applications. But all this is irrelevant for what you want to do, and given your wish to use Crystalizer you better leave bit matched off. And use 24bit for recording with at least 48khz, maybe even more so that the recorded signal is of the highest quality before it is processed, thus your final 44khz/6bit file can be of higher quality because the source material is of higher quality. Notice the difference to what I said above: : copy means NOT processed, so use same rates, processing means you need a good source to start with, then you do all means of calculations with it (roundind errors) and at the end you write the final output file which the processing engine tries to calculate down to 44khz/6bit to its best effort.
    3. Is there any way of using the Crystalizer to beef-up my old WAV files that I did with the crappy ADS card & turning them into new WAV files that have been enhanced - so I can then burn these to CD-R? I know I can listen to them through this processing, but can I 'convert' these inferior WAV's into an 'X-Fi-ed' version if you see what I mean? Or, have I got to re-do all my many hundreds of WAV files using theX-Fi?
    As far as I remember there is no application provided by Creative to allow Crystalizer on already written files. It seems to would need to play your WAV file one by one with Crystalizer enabled and record "What you hear". A better way would be to look for an audio editing software that provides the necessary filters in software to "beef up" your WAVs.
    4. When recording using the Audio Creation console using 'what u hear', is the sound being recorded with the crystalizer effect?
    I did not test it myself, but actually that's the idea about "what you hear", so it should be exactly that way. Best way is to try out yourself, doesn't look like alot of work. ;]

  • X-Fi Elite Pro - how to change from Entertainment mode to Audio Creation m

    Upon installation of my X-Fi Elite Pro, I was asked to choose one of three options, namely Entertainment, Audio Creation, and Gaming.
    I chose Entertainment, simply because I listen to vast amount of music. However, I am also a Digital Music Creation student, so the Audio Creation mode is also appealing. Apparently each of these modes uses different hardware on the X-Fi PCI card.
    The trouble is this - is there any way to change the mode in the installed Creative software, or do I have to run the entire installation process every single time I want to change the settings? That's a 20-minute round-trip.

    atheos,
    You can change mode whenever you wish, just go to Start> All Programs> Creative> Soundblaster X-Fi > Creative Mode Switcher. You can use that to select which mode you need, when you need it. For instance, if you are about to launch a game, switch to game mode first, or if you want to do some recording/audio creation, switch to the audio creation mode.

  • OpenAL in Audio Creation Mode with Windows 7 (Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic)

    I have a problem with my X-Fi in Windows 7 64-bit. ?It's a well known issue, unfortunately -- my audio pops and crackles on and off again. ?I've tried Daniel_K's modified drivers, old and new, and the latest official drivers, but nothing has ever fixed it...
    ...except ONE workaround. ?For some reason, enabling Bit-Matched Playback in Audio Creation Mode removes the popping and crackling.
    Which brings me to my question -- in Windows 7, does OpenAL in games basically work the same in Audio Creation Mode as it does in Game ModeThat is, are all the audio effects like the reverb, 3D positioning, etc. still in full effect in Windows 7's OpenAL, regardless of the 'mode' you have the Xi-Fi set to?
    Now, I know that in Windows XP, this wasn't true... in Audio Creation Mode you lost support for EAX 4 and 5 in games, and hardware accelerated OpenAL lost audio effects like the reverb and such. ?If you wanted full-featured hardware accelerated OpenAL, you had to use Game Mode.
    But as I understand it, Windows 7 is different, because hardware accelerated OpenAL has been removed from most current generation games, and everything is software-based now. ? Is that correct?
    Thus, what it boils down to is that I'm hoping I can use the Bit-Matched Playback in Audio Creation Mode to work-around this pop and crackling sound issue without having to worry about losing OpenAL features in games.

    QYou just reiterated what I already posted, without answering my question.
    Again. ?In Windows 7, does OpenAL function the same in games regardless of what 'mode' you have the X-Fi set to ?I know that in Windows XP, hardware accelerated OpenAL lost some effects in Audio Creation Mode.... is that still true in Windows 7?

  • Audio Creation - Mixer snapshot - can these files be sav

    Can mixer snapshot files be exported? I'm mainly thinking of future re-formatting, HDDs failing, needing to reload apps and data, etc.
    Is there a directory these snapshots are kept in (i.e. one that's easily accessible and copy-able)?

  • Audio creation mode drive p

    Hi,?Hoping someone has done this so will know the answer. I partitioned my 320gb dri've into three sections, the smaller one, for the operating system was limited to 34gig. When I record audio using my X-FI it seems to store it on my C Dri've (34gig) as some sort of temporary file until the recording stops, then i get the option of where to save it. Is there any way to change the dri've that it stores the temporary file on? Basically as it is I cant record for more than 20 min as it says I have ran out of space, but theres plenty of space left on my other dri'ves, it just seems to be using the smaller 34gig partition. If you can help or know how to do this please let me know ?Cheers

    You should be using the console to adjust inputs effects and levels and a separate program for recording large files,?like the included WaveStudio or SmartRecorder,?there are also?free ones like [url="http://audacity.sourceforge.net/">Audacity[/url]. In those you can choose the path for temporary file. Otherwise you'll have to change the TEMP folder path for your Windows User Account, in System properties-> Advanced tab?-> Environment Variables. If you want help with BF and EAX, post more details of your system and your problems, (preferably in a new thread so other members with the same problems can spot it and share tips)

  • DNG converting creation date too; dont want

    DNG converter changes the creation date to conversion time ( = modify time) in finder.
    This is precisely unwanted.  How to retain original creation date please?
    Mac OSX.8.2

    It seems that every time I try to find a workaround or say that something cannot be done, someone comes back and says there is a plug-in that will do that. And I seem to recall that someone has already indicated that there is a plug-in for fixing the problem you are referencing. But I don't use plug-ins. I am just a "plain vanilla" Photoshop/ACR/Lightroom user. You might want to do a Google search and see what you can come up with.
    The problem, from my point of view, is that the file date on the DNG after it has been created is not a function of the converter. That date is stamped by the operating system. And since I don't use plug-ins, or at least haven't up to this point, I don't see any way for the operating system to read the EXIF data in the file to get that date.
