  1. How do I set up my guitar and Peavy Vypyr vip 1? I don't see a signal.

    Here's what I tried:

    Guitar is connected to amp via standard guitar input, then I use an aux cable in the amp's headphone jack and connect it to the Scarlett via an jack adapter, the the Scarlett connects to my pc. I will need to buy a pair of speakers as I've been using my amp as the output lol.

    Where am I going wrong?

  2. Starting a new thread to explain the situation better. Cakewalk and my interface both recognize my dynamic mic, it plays thru my amp just fine, I can see the volume level and waveforms just fine, but when want to listen to my recording, there is no sound. I checked my volumes and stuff. I don't have this problem when recording line device (electric guitar), only mic.

    Look at your blend knob for input monitoring (if you have one). You may be hearing while you are recording but not what has been recorded. Check the output selection from your track and your master bus.               ms

    Fixed, it it was the wrong input 😅

  4. When I try to listen to my recording, there's no sound. I can hear the mic just fine otherwise and I see the sound waves on the track so I know it's picking it up. Maybe I didn't configure something? It's just a basic mic from the Proline Mic Pack.

    I'm using a Scarlett solo 4th gen (recent b-day gift 😀) and my guitar amp as my output until I find the jack adapter for my headset lol

    That's the problem right there.

    Get a decent audio interface with a real ASIO driver (NOT ASIO4ALL!) and the problem will disappear.

    Any suggestions for one under $50? 

    I'm not going into recording professionally atm, if I do, I'll invest in a high end one.

    What you're describing is latency.   MME has the worst latency out of all driver modes.

    These are the driver modes going from best to worst:

    • ASIO
    • WASAPI Exclusive
    • WASAPI Shared
    • WDM
    • MME

    There's a significant jump in latency between WASAPI Exclusive and WASAPI Shared so, if possible, record using WASAPI Exclusive when using an on-board device. 

    You also want to make sure that your recording timer master is set to the device you're recording on within Preferences->Audio->Driver Settings.

    If your device doesn't support WASAPI Exclusive, then WASAPI Shared is probably your next best alternative.  You'll need to live with the delay on the track in that case.  This delay should be constant however, so you could consider setting one of your nudge amount settings to that delay amount, so it's quick to just select that clip and nudge it accordingly.

     

    Thanks for your reply. WASAPI Shared is the only one that give me no trouble. It slightly improved but its still there.  The delay is constant however. So if I can tell exactly how much it's off by, I can use that number to precisely trim each track

    I didn't know about nudge until now. That's neat! Now I gotta set it up.

    What audio interface do you have and what driver are you using?

    I'm new to DAW so I don't have an audio interface atm.  I went from WASAPI to MME 32-bit bc my headphones weren't working, the lag is the same though. 

  8. The best way I can word this is it seems the program is recording a split second behind me.

    Here's what I mean. I record the first track and then the second. When I listen to the full thing, the second track seems to play a split second behind the first track and I have to ripple edit a small piece out to line both up in sync. It's corrected afterwards, but I have to do this every single time I add more tracks.

    Check your sound settings in Windows to see if there is a separate volume for the headphone out. How are your speakers connected?

    I'm using my laptop's built in speakers. Btw, I actually changed the driver mode to MME 32-bit and that seems to fix the problem.

    Ripple Edit will delete the hole, shifting everything along to close the gap.

    Use Ripple Edit selection to only affect the current / selected clips, or Ripple Edit All to affect all tracks.

    Remember to switch it off afterwards though!

    It worked! Much appreciated! Just got this software a few days ago and it's my first DAW  so I have to learn the features and stuff.

  11. How do I cut a piece of track out w/o leaving a gap? I want to cut a piece out and have the track shorten so I can align it properly.

    Here's what I mean: In audacity, I highlight just enough of the un-synced track to line it up with the others. Then I delete the highlighted portion and it shifts back however much I deleted it and boom, it's synced. In cake walk, it just deletes whatever I highlighted and it leaves a gap there. 

    Thanks
