  1. I used the low cut filter on the mic, and it sounded a lot better. I had heard that low cut filters on mics make it sound worse. But it sounded good. Thanks!!
  2. That could very well be true. My room is not treated as well as it could be. Not well. It's a room with a huge sliding door and is perfectly square. There's not a lot of wall space. Windows and doors mainly. I'm about at least 8" away, if not more. I will try that. Thanks for everyone suggestions! I will try them and see what happens.
  3. When I record vocals, on certain low notes (A, C, D...and a couple of others) there is a lot of boominess. The rest of the vocals are fine. I tried putting the mic in different places in the room, facing different directions. Nothing worked. I changed microphones. No difference. Changed cables. No difference. (I've been using a vocal isolation shield. ) I was also using a Golden Age mic preamp. I disconnected it and went direct. No change. So I decided to make myself a vocal booth in my closet. I put up all acoustic panels so that it was all covered from top to bottom. It's a nice vocal booth. No difference. The low boominess on certain low notes is still there. Nothing has changed it. Maybe I'm not seeing something obvious, so I thought I would see if anyone has any suggestions.
  4. I talked to Focusrite. They said I had to go into Focusrite Control, choose Custom Mix, click the + sign at the end of chain of inputs to add inputs 3&4 and 5&6. That fixed it.
  5. I had read those articles, and they didn't provide the info I need. I'm sure it's an easy solution. I just can't figure it out
  6. When I click on the Input Echo button, it has a ton of echo on it, even though the keyboard is running dry. No, I can't hear the keyboard even when not recording.
  7. I just bought a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20. I set it up and played a song, and it worked fine. Sound comes through monitors. Then I tried to record. I can play the song back just fine. But when I try to record keyboards, they don't come through the monitors. There is a signal in the armed track, but no sound. In the third photo below you can see that the track is ready to record and that it has a signal.....just no sound. I clicked on the Echo button, and there's sound - but it has a ton of echo. I have gone through everything, and I can't figure it out. I posted photos so maybe you can see something I don't.
  8. I updated Waves recently, so whatever the new version is. What is the dump file?
  9. With the new update, when I install a plugin it gives the window that says "Fatal Error" and Cakewalk crashes. For me, this update just isn't working. I went back to the old version.
  10. Great. Thanks for your help!
  11. When I installed the new update, I noticed that my audio tracks all had a weird kind of glow to them. Anyway, they weren't normal. I uninstalled the update because it bothered me to look at it. Does anyone else have that issue with the new update?
  12. I believe my keyboard is failing. Thanks for everyone's input! Much appreciated.
  13. Well, I know that I didn't continue to press the "M" key over and over, so there must be some kind of glitch. I don't know how else that could have happened.
  14. I'm falling asleep with this project. Taking too long for good ideas with this song. 😧 So if the "M" key started them, hitting "M" again will stop them?
  15. I right clicked on one of them, and a box came up. So they are some kind of marker. Then I went to View>Marker, as was suggested. And a window opened with a ton of A1 markers. I deleted them all, and now it looks like the 2nd photo. Problem is, I don't know exactly what they are or how they got there, so I don't know how to prevent them from coming back.
  16. No problem, John. I'll find it. Thanks!
  17. How do you roll back to the previous version?
  18. So far I haven't come up with an answer.
  19. I'm using the newest version that I just downloaded. But I don't understand these white lines on top. What are they?
  20. That's with the older/current version, not the new one.
  21. I tried it, Brian, but most of what was there in Insert was whited out. I may download it all again and see if maybe it didn't install correctly the first time.
  22. When I went to Insert, most of what was there was whited out. Maybe I'll download it again and see if there was just an error in how it loaded last time.
