Subject:I cant hear myself while recording new track and listening to prev.recorded track Posted by: buckarooo1972 Date:7/26/2004 5:36:58 PM While listening to preiviously recorded tracks and attempting to record new tracks I am unable to hear anything but the preivious track in real time after recording I am able to listen to all tracks in playback. Does any one have a f@$#ing clue as to how I can hear myself while I am playing with another track? I am using acid pro 4.0 my sound card is the sound blaster audigy2 zs platinum

Any monitoring-while-recording capabilities must be handled by the soundcard. I thought that the Audigy 2 ZS was at least capable of this. Anyone with this card have any ideas?

( a piece of junk, never again!) I have no such problem. Are you using the Creative ASIO drivers? Both the Creative ASIO and the Audigy 2 ASIO should work in full-dupex mode. It sounds like you have the card in half-duplex mode but I’m not at my desktop PC right now and off the top of my head I don’t know how to switch modes. ~jr

Well, I did . before that all new rec. tracks bled together as if it were being asked to render to a new track at each rec. session. If you have any further sugestions please let me know.
Subject:RE: I cant hear myself while recording new track and listening to prev.recorded track Reply by: JohnnyRoy Date:7/27/2004 2:55:13 PM Almost all of the Creative cards only operate at 16/48 (16bit/48KHz sample rate). The Audigy 2 operates at 16/48 or 24/96. None of them operate at 16/44. You need to go into your project properties under Audio and set the sample rate to 48000 and then check Start all new projects with these settings and click OK. Then you will never be prompted to change your sample rate again. (unless you open an old project or a project from someone else that has been saved at 44Khz). This is a hardware limitation of the Creative cards. I happen to not mind because I’m usually creating sound beds for my videos and DV video uses 48KHz audio. What you didn’t realize was that by using the Microsoft Sound Mapper drivers, it was upsampling the 44 to 48 so the card could play it. When you switched to ASIO, it talks directly to the hardware and so the rate must match exactly. That’s why there are two ASIO drivers for that card (16/44 & 24/96). Hope that helps, ~jr

Subject:RE: I cant hear myself while recording new track and listening to prev.recorded track Reply by: grainerr Date:7/27/2004 8:45:54 PM Are you utilizing ASIO? You never mentioned that in your original post. And I have to ask you this....Do you have the "Monitor" toggle selected when you see Record dialog? Set the drop down on "Record Device" to Microsoft Sound Mapper as well and give that a try. Also in the Audigy software do you have a selection choice for "Surround Mixer". (I have an earlier version of Audigy so the names for applications may not be the same in whatever software version you might have). When you find the mixer you should see around seven sliders for mixing various audio/MIDI sources, make sure you look at all of the options for what is available under the two "Graphically Labelled" choices this controls how the card handles input and output. Poke around with some settings until works for you. I know that sounds nebulous but the last time messed around with my card was about 2 years ago so I'm kinda winging it. On the other hand hope this helps. p.s. make sure you have the latest drivers from creative Richard
