It was set to the first choice. I changed it to ASIO. I am using the USB connection from the Mackie. After changing to ASIO, I can get some waveform, but still need to have the gain up to about 4:00. Is this the way it is going to have to be, or can I do something else to see a stronger waveform wit...

I use Mixcraft 5 with a Mackie 2404 VLZ3 mixer. I send signal via USB to the PC using Windows 7 Home. I can only see a waveform during recording when I crank the gain controls on the board to near max. Of course this causes distortion to the house audio. However, if I turn on monitoring for the trac...

I know this can be a can of worms question, but are all interfaces created equally? I doubt it. I have looked at them until I am blue in the face. I am leaning toward Tascam or PreSonus units with 6-8 channels. If you have experiences with these or others, your 2 cents worth would be appreciated. Greg

Yes, I can do that. But, why won't changes be saved in the template, so I don't have to do that each time I open the template?

Timeline- How fast or what time interval the project moves across the screen. It seems to default at about 1 second intervals. I like to change it to 1:30 seconds or even longer so you can see more on the screen, and to eliminate that constant typewriter carriage return effect.

Greg

I have created and saved a template. I changed the timeline in that template, but the changes do not get saved. Each time I open the template, the timeline reverts to the default. Very annoying! Is there a solution?

Will Mixcraft 5 burn a CD in MP3 format?

Greg

How do I turn off system sounds? I burned a CD of the sermon at church today, and when the CD ejected I heard some music and "Your CD is Ready."

Thanks, Greg! You are directing me to areas I have no expertise in, but it is fun to learn new stuff. Can I ask one other question? I notice that during recording, there seems to be a lag in what you hear and what you see on the track. This does not happen with Garage Band- is this what is called &q...

Thanks! A review of the mixer manual confirms that.

So, in order to record more than 2 tracks simultaneously, do I need a DAW type mixer?

Greg

So, are saying that I will only be able to record 2 tracks simultaneously?

The mixer is a PV20USB. The computer is a brand new Dell, and this system is being used in my church. I am new to the PC world- I am a Mac user. I am considering this Mixcraft software because I read something about it being Garage Band for the PC. In some regards it is very similar. When I hooked u...

I am using the trial version, and have six days left for evaluation. I cannot arm more than one track at a time. Is this an issue with the trial version? If not, how do I arm multiple tracks for recording. I am feeding via the USB port from a USB mixer. I want to arm several microphones (audio track...
