Subject:recording Posted by: marty Date:6/4/2000 1:35:00 PM How can I monitor my loops while recording, and not record the loops back onto the recorded track?
Subject:Re: recording Reply by: Kelly_S Date:6/5/2000 1:56:00 PM Hello Marty. There's nothing in the Acid program which would affect this... There's something in your soundcard mixer which is telling it to record itself - you'd have to refer to the manual/soundcard manufacturer to figure out how to change this setting, since all sound cards do things differently. Thanks. marty baggen wrote: >>How can I monitor my loops while recording, and not record >>the loops back onto the recorded track?

In order to make sure that recording will work properly, you may need to check the path that your audio is following from the source to ACID PRO. This path is: sound source, connecting cable, connected to the sound card input on the computer, the sound card wave driver in Windows, Volume Control mixer application, and finally ACID PRO, which records onto the hard drive. If you do not seem to be receiving your audio source in ACID PRO, take the following steps to ensure that your audio chain is correct. 1.Make sure that all cables are correctly connected and that your sound source (e.g. tape deck) is operating at an adequate level. Also check the mixer or anything else that you have between the sound source and the sound card input. If you're recording from your CD-ROM drive, make sure there is a physical cable either internally or externally connecting the CD-ROM drive to the sound card. If you hear audio from your computer system monitor speakers when playing an audio CD, this usually means the connection exists. 2.Bring up the Volume Control mixer dialog by double-clicking on the speaker icon on the taskbar. If this is not present, go to Start/Programs/Accessories/Multimedia or Entertainment, and select Volume Control. In the Volume Control dialog go to the Options menu, and choose Properties. Click the Recording radio button, and make sure that all of the boxes under Show the following volume controls are checked. Then click OK. Verify that the correct input device (Line or Mic) is selected or not muted and that its volume level is turned up. You may also wish to unselect or mute any inputs you are not using, as this will add unwanted noise to the recorded sound. 3.Go to Start/Settings/Control Panel/Multimedia, and verify that the sound card you wish to use is the selected device for Recording. 4.Inside of ACID PRO, open the Record Dialog by pushing the red Toolbar button (or Control+R). If you placed the cursor at a location within your project, this will be the location ACID PRO will begin recording to by default. You can also change this to Start of Project by making that selection. Select the sound card to which your source is connected. In ACID DJ, ACID Hip-Hop, ACID Rock, or ACID Music this device was chosen in Multimedia (#3). ACID PRO will allow you to choose any available sound card input. Take note of how much Free Space is remaining in the Record folder. If you wish to record to a drive or partition with more available space, make this choice before you begin recording good luck K.Shaffer wrote: >>Hello Marty. >> >>There's nothing in the Acid program which would affect this... >>There's something in your soundcard mixer which is telling it to >>record itself - you'd have to refer to the manual/soundcard >>manufacturer to figure out how to change this setting, since all >>sound cards do things differently. >> >>Thanks. >> >>marty baggen wrote: >>>>How can I monitor my loops while recording, and not record >>>>the loops back onto the recorded track?

How can I record successfully in ACID PRO?

In order to make sure that recording will work properly, you may need
to check the path that your audio is following from the source to ACID
PRO. This path is: sound source, connecting cable, connected to the
sound card input on the computer, the sound card wave driver in
Windows, Volume Control mixer application, and finally ACID PRO, which
records onto the hard drive. If you do not seem to be receiving your
audio source in ACID PRO, take the following steps to ensure that your
audio chain is correct.

1.Make sure that all cables are correctly connected and that your
sound source (e.g. tape deck) is operating at an adequate level. Also
check the mixer or anything else that you have between the sound
source and the sound card input. If you're recording from your CD-ROM
drive, make sure there is a physical cable either internally or
externally connecting the CD-ROM drive to the sound card. If you hear
audio from your computer system monitor speakers when playing an audio
