Hi guys
First let me tell you what I'm working with: Behringer Xenyx 2442USB mixer, a PC running Windows 10 and recording software Mixcraft Pro Studio 7. Before attempting to use the mixer, I had a Line6 TonePort UX2 interface which I had for a number of years but now showing signs of wear.
I use the Behringer in a PA system so I know how to set it up for live work and thought it would be useful to record with, how hard can it be? Well, I think I've got everything connected correctly but I have no sound showing when the track is armed!
THE MIXER:
All the physical connections are there, USB, Main Out from the mixer to the PC are Ok,
I've rechecked the mixer recording instructions that I found on the 'Behringer' website, - 2-TR/USB switch to be depressed, I can hear my voice loud and clear through the mixer control panel headphones but no sound shows in the software.
THE COMPUTER:
Whilst it receives the signal from the mixer and delivers audio output (Headphones), it fails to pair with the recording software; my first logical thought would be a driver problem, so I downloaded ASIO4ALL v2 from Behringer as recommended.
THE SOFTWARE (Mixcraft)
'Preferences', ('Sound Device' and 'Recording' section), this has three options Core Audio (Wave RT), ASIO and Wave , I was advised by Mixcraft that I need to select the dropdown choice: Microphone (USB Audio CODEC), now that option is available only with Core Audio (Wave RT) and Wave, I have carried out so many different permutations in 'Preferences' as well as the 'Arm Recording Channel' and now confusion reigns Ok!
And I still can't get any movement on the 'Armed Track Sound Indicator'!!
Sorry, but I'm a total layman when it comes to (recording technology), so my terminology may well fall short of what I trying to explain, but I am trying to learn more about home recording (I have ordered a copy of 'Home Recording for Dummies'), but it's not easy for a non technical person to take on board all the jargon.
I think you are my last hope!
Many thanks
