  • Audition: recording problems with USB interface

    Posted by Sarah Jones on June 10, 2010 at 12:40 pm

    I have a USB Tascam interface plugged into my computer. I have a microphone plugged into this interface.

    When I record with Sony Soundforge and ensure that the devices are set to input audio from the USB unit, I get crystal clear sound.

    When I try to record in the edit view of Adobe Audition 1.5, with the device order and device properties set to input audio from the USB unit, I get terrible sound. The sound is being recorded off of the microphone in my laptop, not through the USB interface.

    How can I fix this?

    Thanks!

    Try setting the Windows audio mixer to use the USB device as the default sound card. And/or remove the default sound drivers so there are no other sound devices besides the USB device.
    Audition 1.5 is a little old and constrained compared to newer versions.
    Good luck

    Thanks, Steve. When I go to Options>Windows Recording Mixer, I get this error message: “Cannot find the mixer program “sndvol32/r.” Any idea what that means and how to proceed?

    Hi, I have just joined CreativeCOW 🙂

    In the past I used Windows XP with Creative Platinum external sound cards and the software Adobe Audition 1.5.

    GREAT satifastion and amazing results.

    Then Windows 7 64 bit with a new computer, my Creative soundcards are kaput 🙁

    I have tried PreSonus FireStudio with Adobe Audition and just blue screens and reboots, so back to Sam Ash and this time they sold me a Zoom R16 that comes with Cubase LE5. Now Steinberg tells me to get features like pitch correction I have to spend more money 🙁

    WHAT ELSE do people use to record directly to Audition without problems with Windows 7?

    Thank you in advance for any assistance or recommendations.
