lov_train Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I open wavepad and select new file. select stereo and the normal set up. When i record it seems to record something but i cant hear what i'm recording, untill i stop the recording and listen back to it. I can here what i recorded fine. the problem is i cant hear it whilst i'm recording it. Not much good when ur tryin to record a Club demo. I'm running a new computer with Vista on it but i'm sure that wouldnt be a problem because i saw someone else in the forum running wavepad with vista. I've checked the control pannel and nothing is mutted and all the correct lines in and out are selected and working. I've been tryin to trouble shoot this problem for about 3days and its really bugging me. Its not just Wavepad either. its CUEBASE aswell. Any suggestions are welcome and i'd really appreciate the help because my stress levels are rising. PS . I'm gettin a new 24bit external soundcard soon and i really hope i'm not going to have the same problem with that. otherwise i myt aswell cancel the order. I'm going to try the whole set up on my old computer tomorrow so i'll let u know if that works. Cheers and all who look please reply . Thanks .

Guest nchto Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 This is a Windows issue. I'm not sure how it works in Vista, but for XP open up your Volume Control panel, click on Options -> Properties, click on Playback and make sure Microphone or Line In (whatever you're using) is selected. Now make sure the Mute button isn't ticked and the volume level isn't on minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lov_train Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 Tryed all of those options. I've used line in and front and rear mic ports. all 3 are turned on and at high sound levels. They seem to have hidden alot of information from you in the new Vista setups. From what i can tell there is no option to mute these devices. Thanx for replying. hope this helps give a better picture. All help welcome. Need to reslove this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to reslove this issue. ============================================ I, for one, have no intention of upgrading to Vista, or to Windows Media Player 11 :-) This may come too late to "help" you, but it remains a firm conviction of mine, for the forseeable future. Let the bugs attack, but they are not going to get me!! I guess it all depends upon which bugs one is willing to live with; this includes those "stealth" bugs in the new Windows Media Player, which I politely keep declining to install when prompted periodically with my auto-update notify-and-install system.

Musikone (still happily manipulating music in the way that _I_ want to do it, using Windows Media Player 10) Mate i agree with you. but i didnt really have a choise. it all came preloaded and i dont have an original copy of XP and i cant really afford to go forking out more money buyin legal copies of all these OP's. From what i've used of Vista so far it sucks ass compared to XP. it may look pretty and all that but tbh i'm not into it for the glitter and glam. i want to see and feel everything and want to be incontrol of my comp. not the otherway round. There is wind that Microsoft are releasing a brand new OP in 2 years that will void vista anyways, so if i were u i wouldnt bother if u were thinkin of gettin it. (thats to all that read this) Still doesnt solve my problem tho. so any info on that case would be great. cheers . DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llewis22001 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I'm having the same problem, and I'm on a Mac. I was going to purchase the full software if it made a difference, but it's looking like it doesn't? I'm VERY new to working with audio, so I didn't know if this was something I should be able to do or not. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbit_bob Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I have this same issue on my mac as well. I have tried using "Line In", but that just causes large amounts of noise. A fix for this would be very much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscott00 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 For those of you using WINDOWS VISTA, if you've not figured this one out yet, this worked for me. The complaint is not being able to hear (monitor) the sound on the Line-In jack when recording from any given source. The issue is the volume level setting on the Line In jack (monitor). 1. Right click on the speaker icon located in the system tray. 2. Select "Playback Devices" 3. Select the "Speakers" you're using (connected to your sound card) 4. Select "Properties" 5. Select the "Levels" tab 6. Adjust the "Line-In" volume to you're preference (It's most likely set to 0) You should now be able to hear the source (monitor) on the "Line-In" jack of your sound card. Worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ I'm pretty sure that as a VISTA owner, that you [ WE ] have "the right" to roll back to XP I'd contact microslut and ask them, how does one do that. [ I'm considering doing that myself ] sorry I don't have a better answer ============ ScottM thanks for that tip!!!!!! [ my levels were ok ] I still can't record anything off the net [ using the soundcard ] with any software that worked fine on XP, while using the SAME software on VISTA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
