Subject:recording help!!! Posted by: jamie123123 Date:9/21/2000 3:27:00 PM When have the recording window up in ACID Music, the bar goes up and down with my guitar like it should(my guitar is hooked up to the computer). When I hit the record button though, the bar shoots up into the red and stays there. Also the counter at the bottom doesnt start. Please Help! -Jamie

I would also make sure that you have the most current versions of your sound and video card drivers installed. Also within the Windows volume control i would make sure that you have the correct input that you are recording in through specified and that the volume level for that is not all the way up. Here are some instructions on how to do that. I would suggest that you go to start/programs/accessories/ and then to entertainment (for win 98) or multimedia (for NT and win 95). Once there you would select the volume control. After you have done that you should go to options/ properties. Now you should be looking at a dialogue box that has adjust volume for written at about the top and two buttons below saying play back and recording. You would want to select the recording button. Once you have done that make sure that you a put a check next to the box that is for your CD or line in which ever way you are recording. Then hit the OK button. Now you should be looking at a mixer view. Once there make sure that you have a check in the box next to the word select under the CD or line in slider and that the volume is about ¾ of the way up. Now you should be able to record.

Hi Jamie:

I would suggest that you have the latest version of Acid installed
off our web site. I would also make sure that you have the most
current versions of your sound and video card drivers installed.
Also within the Windows volume control i would make sure that you
have the correct input that you are recording in through specified
and that the volume level for that is not all the way up. Here are
some instructions on how to do that.

I would suggest that you go to start/programs/accessories/ and then
to entertainment (for win 98) or multimedia (for NT and win 95).
Once there you would select the volume control. After you have done
that you should go to options/ properties. Now you should be looking
at a dialogue box that has adjust volume for written at about the top
