X-FI Elite Pro recording Issues - Recording

I am having issues with the balance of the input signal from my turntable to my Elite Pro. The turntable in connected to Aux 2 with the switch on the console in the phono position. The signal from my turntable (B&O RX2) is slightly off balance with the left channel signal slightly higher than the right channel. I have attempted to use the Master Auxiliary Balance control in audio creation mode to balance the signal during recording. Unfortunatly I have not been able to make it work as adjusting the balance control has no impact on the recorded signal. I have worked with Creative and to date they have not provided a working solution. I have moved my card from one slot to another, uninstalled and reinstalled the software on numerous occasions and taken every step suggested by Creative. I have an ASUS A8N SLI Premium motherborad. Creative thinks the board may be the issue. Does anyone have any suggestions?

- old cardridge/stylus being worned out,
- weak connectors/connections,
- too light stylus pressure (try 2-3 grams),
- dirty/dusty stylus,
- mispositioned stylus (not straight, wrong 'arm'length (if adjustable),
- wrong connection imbedance,
You can also try if connecting turntable through amplifier (w/ RIAA) to X-Fi Line-In makes any difference --> shows out, if the RIAA pre in X-Fi is not working properly.

X-Fi Elite Pro - Recording from the Phono Input Prob

Kit:?
Vista x64
4GB Ram
Q6600
X38 Mobo
X-Fi Elite Pro
Audio is taken via?Digital Output (not the optical one) from the External box to a Sony Cinema Amp.
Have installed using the Vista X-Fi CD and updated to the July 2008 drivers.
Problem:
Unable to record from the Phono input on the external breakout box, in fact only the Line-In on the actual card seems to work, but when recording via the Creative Entertainment Console the recording has what sounds like reverb applied to it. Recording via Vista's Sound Recorder produces a clean sound but is in WMA and very low quality.
Other Obvious Problems:
Have to manually select the Input port via Vista's Sounds Panel, by setting the required input as 'default device'.
Headphone socket on the external box doesn't anything coming out of it.
Question:?
Has anyone sucessfully recorded via the Phono input on an Elite Pro under Vista x64, and if so how
Thanks.

Huhu, right-click onto the window where all devices like microphone or speaker output are listet (record, playback) (Controlpanel " sound") Then you have the option to enable "show deactivated devices" maybe then the phono input is available to your needs.

X-Fi Elite pro (recording questi

Hi,
I am looking at getting the X-Fi Elite pro, mainly for music/recording purposes. One of the important features I am looking for in a pc sound system is the ability to record VOICE and MUSIC at the same time (as in the Karaoke environment).
Currently my Asus P4P 800-E Dlx board has the onboard AC97, but for some reason I am not able to record voice and music in "stereo mix" mode, and of course doing Karaoke on an onboard sound system is not the best thing.
My question is: will I be able to record both voice and music (in stereo mix mode, or however way it might be) with this X-Fi Elite pro?
With the price I am going to pay for, I really want to make sure I get what I am looking for.
I hope all of the pros here can give me some light. Thank you!

Hi jutapa,
Thank you for your reply to my question. sorry it took me awhile to get back to the forum. I finally bought the system (just a few days ago).
To answer your question: yes, I meant recording with the background music from my pc + the mic, both at the same time as I used to be able to with 'stereo mix' mode. I can hook up external devices for recording. but what I want for a quick recording is just that. what puzzled me was that I used to be able to record that before I reinstalled my windows xp pro. however, talking of what is now, with this new xfi elite system, I am still unable to record the background music + mic from my pc. it's a little frustrating when I couldn't find the cause for why I lost that function, and now after having bought the new sound system, I still cannot do what I want to do.
Has anyone here able to do recording with both background music + mic internally from pc with this xfi elite system? If so, please shed some lights. it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

X-Fi Elite Pro Noise issues

Greetings,
I've had this x-Fi Elite Pro for 3 years now, and since about 6 months ago it started missbehaving like I'll describe. If the computer has been on for a long time the speaker output of the card starts making a crackling noise. Here's a phone recording of what this noise sounds like:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/002586/200227%2032502.m4a
If I change the audio mode with the creative console or change the master sampling rate there's a chance that the noise will go away, but it's a really temporary solution as it will be back within minutes. The only prolonged solution is restarting the computer and start the cycle anew.
I would like to know if anyone has heard about this issue and if there's any known solution such as changing the capacitors, if so, which ones.
To be honest, I'm quite disappointed with the experience I had with creative's soundcards lifespans. I went through two Audigy 2 cards that developed popping noises after two years of use (fortunately got those replaced with Dell's extended warranty). My replacement, if there's no fix to it, will certainly not be a creative card. It's a shame, really, as the Elite Pro is a really good card, while it works right; I'm just not willing to spend that much money on a sound card that's likely to fail within 3 years.

Vista 64, Latest Driver & X-Fi Elite Pro: Audio issue with Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (Pes 20

Hi,i have formatted XP S.P.2 and now i'm using Vista Ultimate 64.I have got an X-Fi Elite Pro and i have installed all the applications using the CD-Rom.I updated the driver, Alchemy and Mediasource to the latest version.The system is totally clean and updated (I used Windows Update when i finished to install Vista and nothing was installed). I would like to know why i cannot play Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 like in XP: when i enter in the game i have a noise (looks like the noise of the needle in old gramophones...) and i cannot use the speakers (Creative ProGamer G500).If i turn the volume to 0 i can hear it too... i have to switch off the speakers or exit the game to delete it.Is it another bug I tried to uninstall and doing a new installation of the game but... no way men... Thanks p.s.After year and 4 months (release date of Vista) is it possible to have a decent driver... The Audio Quality in Vista Ultimate 64 bit is lower than in XP and the same wave files have distortion with the low and middle-high volume (60-70).
Problems that i have never had in XP... i cannot reinstall XP another time. I bought Vista in 2006 and i cannot use it till you'll release a good sw.
Have we to wait till 200 for a fuc.ing working driver
My Hw.: Intel Core 2 Quad 6600, DFI Lanparty DK, 2GB DDR800 Team Group, X800XT 52MB, Enermax Noisetaker 600W, Creative X-Fi Elite Pro, Creative ProGamer G500, Plextor PX76SA, Logitech G5 and G5.

The problem is now official: other customers have problems with some games (Pes 2008 and Crysis in particular). I'll show u the main italian hw. forum. There is a thread of more than 500 pages just about Creative X-Fi: http://www.hwupgrade.it/forum/showth...42043&page=550 I would like to know if u test drivers before sharing... because i don't know what you did in more than year.You should meditate, people... I paid more than 400 $ for an Elite Pro and after year and 4 month i cannot install Vista 64 too for audio issues with mp3-wave files and Pes 2008 or Vista 32 bit for problems with Pes 2008. This is my latest Creative product, you can trust.

Smart Recorder for X-Fi Elite Pro for

Hi All,??As above was wondering if there are any plans to release the smart recorder for XP for this card. There is one release for Vista but not XP. Of course I could use Vista......but lets not go there

+Re: Problem using guitar for X-fi elite pron Do you have your guitar plugged into the Line-In 3/HiZ input ? That is the input which is best for high-impedance electric guitars. In that mode (with the volume control pot HiZ turned on) the input impedance is ~ Mohm and you can control the input gain. Using this with the X-Fi's own (hardware) reverb sounds very nice indeed.
I think by "amplification" you meant "distortion". The X-Fi Elite Pro comes with the "AmpliTube LE" VST plugin which sounds pretty good (from clean vintage amps to mellow Marshall stacks) as a virtual tube-amp/distortion device when used with Cubase LE (also comes with X-Fi Elite Pro).
Documentation for using AmpliTube is at All Programs ...\Sound Blaster X-Fi\Documentation\Music Creation Guide
in chapter 9.
Not sure about Win7 ... I've only tested XP.

Help! with X-fi Elite Pro 1. Toslink issue. 2. Phono issue

:Help! with X-fi Elite Pro . Toslink issue. 2. Phono issue? I'm using a Toslink in and out to a JVC receiver. I can play and record computer sounds that play from creative external box through a Toslink into the receiver then into my receiver speakers. However, I can't record any other sound coming out of my receiver through Toslink into back of box.
As a separate issue, I can't get the phono jacks on the external box to work. I've tried it with a direct connect from turntable to external box, with and without turntable preamp on, and with the creative box switch on phono and then with the box switch on aux. I then tried it from line out of receiver to aux in in the back and then to line in in frnt of box. Nothing worked. When I tried those setups, I tried it with toslink out of receiver and then with Toslink in receiver.
I'm using a Dell Vista 64 computer.
Any help with these issues would be appreciated.

Wow, guess nobody can help me out here......

Long encoding times for footage captured with BMD H.264 Pro Recorder

Hi there,
I'm experiencing very long render times when encoding footage captured with the BMD H.264 Pro Recorder. Watching it encode (either through Premiere CS6, or AME) it looks like the encoding stops for periods of time. With other footage I can encode a 50 minute project in about 15-20 minutes, encoding with footage from the Pro Recorder is almost 1:1 in terms of project length/encode time.
The Pro Recorder uses QuickTime for H.264 captures, so don't know if that is causing issues. Don't seem to have the same issue with other H.264 formats.
System Info:
Windows 8 Enterprise (RTM)
HP Z820 with dual hexcore processors, 32GB RAM
Quadro 2000 plus Tesla for Maximus configuration
All latest updates have been installed (yesterday)
MPE is enabled for project
Also tested on a Z800 with Windows 7 and got same results
Editing the footage is fast and playback through timeline looks great. Anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks,
Jeff

QuickTime is still a 32 bit process and the 64 bit PP has to use a sort of "band-aid" to make QuickTime files work right. It's possible that might slow things down.

I can record midi data from my Mason & Hamlin Piano Disc Pro Record through my MOTU Traveller into Logic but Logic won't send midi data out to the MOTU Traveller to the Piano Disc player

Hello All,
I can record midi data from my Mason & Hamlin Piano Disc Pro Record through my MOTU Traveller into Logic Pro 9.1.8 but Logic won't send the midi data back out to the MOTU Traveller and thus to the Piano Disc player. I got it to playback one time but have no idea how and when it did it was looping or something because the velocity was way high coming back in and the damper pedal was slamming down. When I play a key on the piano the midi "in" light on the Traveller lights up. When I play the track back on my computer no lights blink on the Traveller and when I did the apple midi studio test in utilities when I play a key I get the confirmation signal noise and the Traveller blinks when I click on the down arrow of the Traveller in the Apple midi studio test the midi out light on the traveller never lights and the signal light on the piano does not blink either. No outbound signal at all...
I have messed with every possible parameter I can find and and have had help from one of Piano Disc's premier editors but no luck. The piano was prepped for me on Logic so it would work with my studio. I'm positive it's my fault and I'm overlooking something really simple and stupid but what!??!
Somebody please help. Thank you all in advance for ANY ideas you might have!

Blues Piano,
I'm not sure if this will be a help or not. I'm so Logic Pro wet behind the ears that I make newbies look experienced. However, I'm not expecting many on the Apple support forums have a PianoDisc system, much less one with the new optical record strip. While I don't have any record strip on my PianoDisc, I do have a PianoDisc iQ that's only a month old. I've been playing converted paper scrolls from hundred year old player pianos through it via the MIDI in port of the PianoDisc CPU. I've found I have to open the MIDI file in Logic Pro (10.0.4) then go to <Track><New External MIDI Track> then copy the existing track to that new external track. Only then can I see in the Track inspector (defaults left side of screen with the Icon for the instrument) the "Port" parameter. Then I can select my external MIDI device in that Port selector.
I've also encountered problems with the PianoDisc not using enough force on the notes or using too much force. To get around this problem, until I understand Logic better, I've been setting minimum and maximum volicities. To do that I right click on the track and select "Select All." Then I right click again and select "MIDI" then "MIDI Transform" then "Velocity Limiter." In the resulting pop up window in the center is a drop down and you can play with the velocity from "MIN" to "MAX" along with "ADD" "SUBTRACT" etc.
I hope this helps. I envy you your Mason & Hamlin. If you need more help on this just email me at pfleischmann at mac dot com.

Quicktime Pro recording video - dimensions presets

It appears that the QT Pro presets for recording video (all two options) depend in part on what maching you're using it on -
On my G5, the videos recorded are 320 X 240, which is fine for my purposes... but on my Powerbook (with which I'll be doing the actual recording), the videos are 240 X 180, which is too small for my purposes.
Has anyone discovered a way to change these settings? Or to "fool" QT Pro into thinking it's on a different machine so that it will allow for larger dimensions?
Failing that - any suggestions for other software to record 3-4 hour meetings using an iSight and a Powerbook? (I've tried BTV, but can't get the file size to quality ratio anywhere near as good as QT Pro, and BTV seems to create huge swap files or something that make several hours of recording impossible).
G5 Dual 2Ghz; 12 AlBook; iPod 3rd Gen Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Thanks, QuickTimeKirk... I've got SnapzPro and gave it a shot, having it record the QT Pro record window (without having QT record, of course)... but one of the things I like about using QT Pro itself is that it appears to do the capture and the compression all at once -- i.e. no post-processing needed. This is ideal because the plan is to copy the movie to a USB thumb drive for the client at the end of the session; waiting for a 3 hour video to save and convert/compress won't work (hence something like iVezeen, while good, won't do).
Anyway, I have managed to change the dimensions via the .plist file that applies to my Powerbook. The next thing I want to try to change (if possible) is the framerate - it doesn't really need to be as high as it is for our purposes, and would cut down size (and processing cpu usage?) if I could reduce it to 15 or 20fps. I can't find that setting anywhere in the .plist files though.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Scott

X-Fi Elite Pro and ASUS P4P800-E Mobo...any issu

[size="4" face="Comic Sans MS">Hi. ?I posted this in the thread about the N-force mobo problems with the range of X-Fi cards...pages and pages...and I've also read the thread on BF2 performance drop problems. There seems to be a lot of angry and frustrated users of these cards who feel like beta testers... I followed the threads that went over several months with varying degrees of success...but overall a lot failure to use a sound card that was highly expensi've and hyped to provide wonderful benchmarkings and wonderful sounds.[size="4" face="Comic Sans MS">?[size="4" face="Comic Sans MS">I've ordered the Elite Pro this week ($900 AUS) and then I read these threads... I haven't got it yet and I'm thinking my extremely stable system with an old Audigy 2 Platinum on it is looking like the superior device at the moment.[size="4" face="Comic Sans MS">?[size="4" face="Comic Sans MS">Does anyone have one of these cards on the P4P800-E Deluxe mobo? Does it work okay? I don't like my chances of approaching ASUS for a mobo bios flash as . they don't respond to tech help (for me at least) and 2. they have moved on to 'bigger and better' things.[size="4" face="Comic Sans MS">?[size="4" face="Comic Sans MS">Let us know if you would please because I won't even unpack it...

QT Pro recorded video not compatible with FCP?

Is a video recorded in QT Pro compatible with FCP?
I was getting errors earlier today importing QT video clips recorded in QT Pro.
FCP said "unknown file type" and wouldn't import it.
I tried different decks, different footage, all to no avail.
Drag and drop, file>Import, neither worked.
I never tried this before and was surprised.
It's not that it needed rendering, it just wouldn't import.
QT was set to use the native format of the recording device.
FCP was set to DV NTSC easy set up.
OS 10.4.7, QT 7.1.2, FCP 5.0.4.
Thanks,
Richard

The files open fine in QT player.
640 X 480 was the QT captured frame size, 29.97 fps, and it was captured as "device native" in QT preferences. The source tapes where mini DV/NTSC so its frame size should be 720 X 480.
If this frame size is the problem, why is QT pro recording a 640 X 480 image when the original is 720 X 480? Also, can't FCP handle a 640 X 480 QT video size anyway?
I tried different tapes with different decks and kept coming up with the "file not recognized" error when trying to import into FCP.
Thanks for your help,

FMLE with Blackmagic Design H.264 Pro Recorder (or other similar HD-SDI to USB devices)

Anyone know is Flash Media Live Encoder will see the Blackmagic Design H.264 Pro Recorder as the video device?
http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/h264prorecorder/
I have tested it with the Ion Audio Video2PC Mk II device and it works just fine. That device is for capturing standard SD video at DVD res.
The BMD Pro Recorder has all the full broadcast standard inputs and puts it out to USB 2.0....
I called BMD and they said they haven't tested it but to ask Adobe.
Thanks!

I talked with BMD and they said the H.264 recorder is not Microsoft Direct Show compliant.
