xxxtank@comcast.net Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Hi all, i have not had any issues, with over 50 songs, recording audio with a MIDI instrument as my source. All of a sudden, about 2 weeks ago, the audio would not record correctly. I have a video sample attached. When I select the Instrument as my recording source, I have always selected the Stereo input of the Instrument. Youll see in the first part of the vid that all the sound works, the preview is correct, and even when i am actually recording, it shows the wave form as a stereo track. When I stop the recording, however, CbB renders it to a Mono file. AND the sound is complete crap (also in the video). If I select a MONO input, its the opposite - it records mono, then renders it Stereo, and again, crap sound. I have uninstalled and reinstalled all of my sound drivers including my USB MIDI driver. I have uninstalled and reinstalled CbB. Ive searched the forums high and wide for an answer. Please help! Windows 10, I-7 3.4, 32gb RAM No new hardware or audio software installed or in last 2 weeks.

Max Arwood Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 The only thing I noticed is that your record to track it set to mono. It is the little button just past the record button. It you click it, it will change shape to look like 2 wave forms instead of one. Let us know if that helps. Max Arwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxxtank@comcast.net Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 I do not see where that is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Arwood Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 It is a tiny triangle right past the red dot record button on the track. Max Arwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Arwood do you mean this button? it is a waveform preview button for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Mackay Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) No. @Max Arwood has made a mistake. Your workspace is set to Custom. Click on Custom, then select Track Control Manager. For Audio Strips, switch on Interleave/Phase. Make sure that Interleave (just to the right of O Master here) is the same as the mono/stereo input you select (here it is stereo) and also that the phase invert button is also not selected. You might have to make the track height bigger to see them. Not saying that anything is wrong there, but just check. And it is kinda important to have them visible when recording.

Max Arwood Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Nigel is right! It is just past the master in his photo. My question is - did that fix it? Max Arwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxxtank@comcast.net Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 Hi, this did not work. I went in and turned on all options to view on the track and everything appears correct. It is definitely a CbB issue because I have Reaper as well and the MIDI recording works perfectly. I dont like Reaper as much though because their MIDI response has about a .5 sec delay, meaning its hard to line up the audio when playing live, and I really liked CbB because it didnt have that native latency. I hope someone has the answer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
