    I have a feeling you guys are going to tell me it's the ASIO4ALL is causing all these problems.

    That's exactly the problem.

    Why in God's Name are you using that instead of Focusrite's own ASIO driver?

    Unfortunately, you have now discovered why you should save immediately after any substantive change you make and/ or after any 3-5 minor ones.

    I really hope you hadn't been working for hours without saving.

    If you have any audio, you might be able to salvage something by going into the project audio folder and dragging the files into a new project.

    Thanks for bringing this up. Yes - the mixer is the issue, or rather my boneheadedness is the issue. I didn't fully understand the functionality.

    Here's my setup - I have the computer with an older Gigabyte board and an AMD video card running to my TV via an HDMI cable and have the TV sound going out to a stereo receiver to bypass the  onboard  TV speakers. What I was trying to do was run the sound from the headphone jack of the receiver to the Line-in inputs of the mixer to mute the speakers attached to the receiver and hear the whole mix using the headphone jack on the mixer but didn't grasp that anything that goes into it is going to be part of the mix that's going out of the mixer to the line-in of the computer, not just the mic input.  The mixer is doing what it's supposed to do.

    *smack head*

    It's a Yamaha MG06, a very basic mixer. I imagine more upscale mixers have an input that's separated from the total mix but I don't see that this one has that capability. 

    If I connect  the phones directly to the receiver I can hear the mix of the backing track plus the mic input - the issue with that is I can hear latency echo but I'll live with it until I can put together a less kludgy setup. Previous recording I've done I was in a booth with headphones going to the DAW and just not monitoring the mic input, or just counting on whatever the mic picked up from the speakers to not be noticeable in the mix.

    I got this particular mixer because I saw a video on YouTube where as I recall someone had showed a way to do what I originally wanted to do with this mixer but I can't re-find the video. I thought I'd saved a shortcut to it but apparently not.

     

     

    My head hurts....

     

    Here's hoping you get the other computer fixed soon. Can you use the interface with this one for the time being?

    In somebodies defense, sometime you just spent a huge whop on the PC/Laptop and a set of decent speakers and you think maybe I should give this music thing a try now that I have a decent computer setup. You know, give it a go before I invest even more money on specialized gear and peripherals. Just saying.

    Or maybe find out what you're getting into before jumping off the cliff....

    Unfortunately, it is often hard to find that out until you go over unless you get advice from someone who has been there before. I get that.

    So its not like I don't have sympathy, but reality is reality. Like was pointed out earlier, there's just no way around a real ASIO driver once you start recording audio.
