Leifur

I have a Cyberpower Gaming computer. I have a Presonus Audiobox USB 96 interface. I have no sound. It appears I have the interface selected in the playback timing master and I have headphones plugged into the usb 96, but nothing. Attaching a screenshot of the usb 96 selected in the "Output Timing Master" but no sound is coming through. Have tried adjusting knobs on the interface but nothing. Also, I don't know what "Timing Master" means. Most of the phrases like "Dithering" and "Bit Depth" are over my head. Can anybody get me started in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

bdickens, thank you for your response. In my post, I wasn’t asking or expecting a response to all of the topics I mentioned. The list was to help any would-be responders to understand the types of questions most tutorials don’t address individually or in depth. And you can't ask questions. And in truth, I am a slow reader and suffer headaches when reading for long periods of time, which happens when you are a slow reader. I also am hearing impaired in a way that makes any audible speech sound like Alexa under a stack of pillows. Especially if the would-be tutor has a thick accent or their audio is anything short of crisp (treble all the way up and bass all the way down). So, jesse, scook, and everyone who suggested and offered links to what are probably great tutorials, I thank you, but I’m afraid they won’t help me. What I have garnered from this interaction however, is very positive. My troubles are mainly technical. I think I’m beginning to figure out how to use this forum so, it would appear that my question has been well answered by every responder above. I already know that tutorials don’t work well for me, but it would appear that I can get answers to my very focused questions, right here on this forum. So thank you in advance for all the great answers I'm looking forward to. Now, can anyone tell me if would be proper for me to pose a specific question here and now, or is it required that I open a new thread for each new question? Thanks again.

Have been wrestling with cakewalk for years. Tutorials always assume you know something you don't. Great difficulty getting sound in and out (drivers?). Typical questions I have are: How to select the proper preference settings that will work. How to add effects when recording and again at mixdown. What does "plugin" mean? Where are they? How do you use them?, What is enable/disable ripple edit all? What is the synth rack and how do you use it? What does multi-dock mean? What does CWT stand for? What is alias factor, HF Exciter, and TL-64 Tube Leveler. Under "guitar" what is TH2 Creator, What is TH3? I can go on and on. Probably many of the questions are not so relevant since all I want to do is to record tracks that I can edit and mix. I have stumbled onto success in the past but dumb luck and so hard and time consuming to re-create. I'm kind of old now but I was young when I started. I have been reluctant to use forums in the past because too many people both guess and opine and then you waste time trying to use that information that may not be correct. Will travel for a qualified tutor or a class if there is such a thing. Thanks... and what are "tags"?
