Hi,

I'm using the m-audio fast track pro, audacity, and condesor mic samson co1. Everytime I try to record my acoustic guitar, it clips, or if it isn't clipping, there is barely any sound at all.

Please if anyone knows anything about this, help me out, I can't record any of my songs. I feel terrible.

Thanks,
Jonas Jamison

It might not be the problem, but if I were you I'd get a new card, one that was designed for recording.

wow, now you have to be a computer geek with lots of money to record a couple songs...

wow, i feel like shit

thanks for the tips anyways.

You can check to that your computer is using the FastTrack Pro instead of the Soundblaster on your control panel...
...also make sure that you have the instrument/mic level set correctly, that you have the gain set right on the inputs and the outputs, that you have everything hooked up correctly, and that your cables are good, with clean connections - often the answer to a problem is a bad cable...if none of that works, see if you can isolate the problem....to the mic, to the box, to the cables, to the software, down the line....

Thanks a lot for the tips, I'll try everything you said.

Oh man, I really thought I had it for a second.

When I listen to it through the headphones, what it records sounds so beautiful, like crisp and clear, no clipping... But when I record it through the computer, it is so horrible, and clips.

I tried messing with the settings in the computer, and the hardware, but I don't know what's wrong still.

Please if anyone can help, I would really appreciate it. I'll never record....

Thanks,

-Jonas
 
So, it's probably something with the computer, but I can't figure it out...

The drivers are fine, it runs, says it is functioning properly.

IF ANYONE USES FAST TRACK PRO, OUT THERE, PLEASE HELP!!!

What are your settings?? Any IDEAS!??!???!
