  • V13 can’t get “arm for record” to light

    Posted by Rob Lindsay on January 13, 2018 at 12:55 am

    Here is a SS of my Audio Devices card:

    I don’t know if that helps but I’ve changed inputs front to back, changed Windows 10 to Stereo Mix per an earlier post here, but i’m stuck, and i am trying to record a VO with an external mic.

    All help is appreciated!

    [Rob Lindsay] “All help is appreciated!”

    I’ll try.

    Although I’m running W7 not W10 it’s has to be similar, here’s my VP13 and VP15 recording onto Timeline. Make sure you have the Mic Icons lit on the Track Header!:

    VP13

    VP15

    Two questions:

    1] What is that ASIO Realtek Device for and I’m asking ‘cos VP and ASIO don’t play nicely, but as it is there why wouldn’t you use it? My external Presonus AudioBox uses ASIO and it works:

    2] What are the selections you’ve made in Audio Devices? Here’s mine for recording:

    Thanks for your response, Graham.
    1. I don’t see any mic icon on my track header or yours either. Confused!
    2. Here’s a view of what I do see:

    3.Here is the device control for W10

    4 I dont know what the Asio is. I thought it just came with the computer.

    Thanks!

    Ah-hah!

    I went back and compared both of our Direct Sound Surround Mapper. Do you spot the difference?:

    Yours:

    And now mine:

    You’re missing that “Primary Sound Capture Drive” option, which I believe has to be part of the selection you can make from my previous thread.

    Lol, and yes it had been lit, but in making the screen grab and stopping recording it had switched off! – Don’t be confused.

    Here’s mine showing that the INPUT is Live for DSSM:

    I believe, I can’t see all your Track Header, but here’s yours greyed-out, I think (?):

    Bottom line here, that Primary Driver option needs to be activated – yeah?

    Thank you, Graham — the arm button is lit and i can see the db monitor respond when I speak into the mic during a recording. But I dont see any wave form on the track as it is recording and there is no audio in playback :(.

    Getting closer tho!

    Any more suggestions?

    [Rob Lindsay] “Getting closer tho!”Yeah . . . . How did you activate that Driver?

    OK, let me see your Track Header. Expand its width.

    Erm? Where is your Mic plugged in? Is your Mic on front or rear port?

    Sorry, Graham, i went to bed. i wasn’t focussing any more. here is the current state of recording

    Thank you — i am now recording to the track! The only issue I have now is that the level is very low, even tho as you can see, the pot is pushed up. Any thoughts?
