Guys, thanks very much for your advice.

Cheers Willie, I did have a problem unpacking the files just now – I will try again with the download.

[Richard Jay]

Cheers Willie, I’ll try that. I have downloaded it now, so you can remove them off your site if you need to.

Have you ever tried Pro Tools or I also have Ableton Live Lite that came free with my M-Audio sound card. Do you know if either are any good – I got a Pro Tools-M Powered v7 demo that came with the card aswell. It was an M-Audio 2496 PCI Card – usually bundled software is naff so I didn’t install it….

Cheers

Hi Willie, That sucks a bit really that Adobe don’t care.

I think I may try 1.5 if you wouldn’t mind, do you know of any other software that would be better than Audition for doing this??? Will 1.5 open 2.0 sessions??

Cheers again for your help, I’ll let you have a copy of the finished song when it is all sorted!!!

Regards and Happy 2007

Cheers Willie. I had the sliders adjusted mainly down on backing vocal tracks etc. and I have various effects on each track such as reverb or chorus but have done nothing with the eq settings.

I have just switched that pull down menu on the master fader to off and it played fine, turned it back on and it played fine again – done a mixdown and all is fine????

But who knows what will happen tomorrow with it!!!!! I need to sort out the cause as I have another couple of tracks to record.

Are Adobe aware of this, I guess they are – is nobody using v2 at the moment or does it only happen on some setups?? It really isn’t the kind of thing you can live with and the adobe sample that loads on first run after install plays OK????

If the problem comes back i’ll let you know and maybe I could try V1.5 and see what happens – is it much different to v2.0 as I am just about getting used to this one!!!

Thanks again for your help,

Rich

Hi again Willie, sorry about all these different answers – It still jumps almost in the form of a pop even with that drop down menu set to off for all tracks?????

Have I turned them off correctly or do you think it may be something else??

Cheers

Hi Willie, (amendment to previous post….)

I have found a drop down menu at the top of each slider, reads read/write etc. and I set them all to off and I think it has stopped the jumping, but of course it doesn’t sound right now…..

Is there any way around this??

Thanks

Rich

[Richard Jay]

Hey Willie, Hope you had a good Christmas!! Yeah, it’s v2.0 i’m using and by mixers do you mean have I adjusted the slider levels on each track because yes I have. How do I turn them off??

Thanks, Richard.

My other 2 questions at the moment were:

1. Should I have just the backing music in the headphones or let them hear themselves singing aswell as the hearing the backing music?

and

2. Can I output the track being recorded back to the mixing desk while it is being recorded to play in the main mix and how? At the moment, while a track is being recorded I can only hear the other tracks that have been recorded and the backing music playing – does that make sense?

Cheers

Hi Willie

Thanks for all this help, I couldn’t have got this far without it! And I think I’m nearly there now!

I have the headphones working and I have the mixing desk connected and I can record tracks etc. while listening to the PC back through my mixing desk.

I just have a couple more questions, I hope you don’t mind???

1. For a compressor, should I use Audition (if it has one) or use the one built into my mixing desk for the vocals when recording them?

2. Should I have just the backing music in the headphones or let them hear themselves singing aswell as the hearing the backing music?

3. Can I output the track being recorded back to the mixing desk while it is being recorded to play in the main mix and how? At the moment, while a track is being recorded I can only hear the other tracks that have been recorded and the backing music playing – does that make sense?

Thanks again

Rich
