Thanks very much. I have finally about run out of anything to ask about. Am loving the program. Once things are working right it's hard to pull away from it. Thanks again

Sorry I misinformed you earlier. I have edited my reply to your post if you still want to check it out.

Thanks again. Swithing to mic input fixed that. If it's not one thing it is something else. It will all be so simple once I get it worked out. Now when I try to lay down second track, first track records onto the second(with headphones on to not record speakers. Even with mic off.

Yeow, I was having same low input problems and was told to go to windows volume control. Click on options>properties and uncheck everything except your speakers, main volume and mic. Then go back to volume control>options and check advanced.Advanced box will be at bottom of mic volume. Click on that...

Thanks tons again. Dearming all tracks before mix down re-inabled the mix volume. Am just trying to experiment with hiss. I'll quit taking up your time but if you think of anything that might help later please let me know.
thanks

Thanks a million for responding so quickly. Yes the hiss is there as soon as I check the "boost" box. The computer hisses even with no program running and a lot worse with the mic unplugged. The noise suppression is in AC97 audio configuration. When I turn it on it does not stop the hiss. ...

I took some great advice and got my mic very sensitive. Got a lot of hiss. Turned on noise suppression, lost hiss but now as soon as I hit the playback button It starts out perfectly then fades in volume and looses all quality.

Found the boost on my own. It changed my whole world. Mic is so sensitive that I Have to turn record volume down to nearly nothing. I have fought this for so long and it was that simple. There's no way I can tell you how much I appreciate it. Was so tired of loosing quality by having to beat guitar ...

Eric please have patience with a novice. I know a lot more about music than I do computers. Can you tell me exact procedure for getting to the boost for recording devices? And is it normal for everything to be recorded on left channel exept reverb ghost on right? If Use stereo plug I get full sound ...

Thanks for trying anyway Eric

Sorry Alex, about the all caps. Didn't mean to ruin your day. I'll just use one every now and then. Like at the first of a sentence and stuff. Thanks for trying anyway.

I TRIED THE PROCEEDURE IT SUGGESTED FOR CO1 UI TO GET DRIVER FOR SAMSON R11. SITE SAYS THAT WHEN MIC IS PLUGGED IN YOU GET A BUBB...

PLEASE READ MY PREVIOUS POST. HAVING A REAL TOUGH TIME GETTING INPUT VOLUME UP. HAVE TO PLAY BACK WITH OUTPUT VOLUME SO HIGH THAT I GET A HISS.

JUST SITTING HERE PLAYING AROUND WITH CONTROLS. ENCOUNTERED YOUR PROBLEM MYSELF. I RAISED THE AMOUNT OF REVERB REAL HIGH AND EVERYTHING JUST FADED OUT OVER A SECOND OR TWO. I RAISED IT MORE JUST TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN AND EVERYTHING JUST WENT TO A "JET PLANE ON TAKE OFF" SORT OF SOUND. I...
