when I record with cakewalk and a bad consumer soundcard there is just a strait line after I record, no soundwaves. Because I have only one line on my soundcard my mixer goes in there so i dont have any speaker sound. Nothing records its just a strait line no soundwaves can anyone help?

Mar 26, 2003 05:19 pm Is it possible your soundcard only has line out (for speakers) and therefore you are actually trying to record to the line out jack of your sound card. Which of course would explain why you aren't recording anything.
Mar 26, 2003 06:59 pm thanks youre right . do i have to get a new soundcard?
Mar 26, 2003 08:10 pm hmmm, seems like it. Unless someone here knows how to jerry rig your soundcard to change your line out to a line in. I have no idea if that is possible.
Mar 26, 2003 08:36 pm how about getting a usb port(a cheap one) instead of a soundcard because of my crappy budget
Mar 26, 2003 09:23 pm Both Edirol and M-Audio have USB audio interfaces. They are both available at Musicicans Friend. I have used the Edirol with a laptop and it works splendidly.
Mar 26, 2003 09:31 pm OMG your soundcard doesn't have an input?? wow, i didn't know there was such a thing!
Mar 26, 2003 09:54 pm I know, it sucks I just need to know wether to get a soundcard or a usb port. Im on an 150$ budget.
Mar 26, 2003 10:47 pm if you watch eBay for a couple of days you'll find an M-Audio Delta 44 dip under $150
Mar 26, 2003 10:59 pm I think Jamie's ebay suggestion is a good one. I picked up a Delta 66 for $182.50 doing the ebay thing (that's not all I got). I'm sure you could find a Delta 44 or Audiophile for under $150 if you are patient and tenacious (give yourself a couple weeks to find one, then pounce right before the auctions about to close). But beware, I've found that ebay can be addictive indeed.
Mar 27, 2003 04:42 am Unless you need portability, or your home studio is on a laptop, you should get an internal card. Faster datatransfer and higher performance generally speaking. USB audio devices are for peeps on the go.
Mar 27, 2003 08:42 pm Agree with both dB and jues. USB audio interfaces are really for portability. I personally would not run one on my studio PC. You really are better off waiting for a Delta or whatever.
