Hi,

How to use compression please?

I use a compressor stomp box for miking a harmonica through, it sounds great. That's about it.

If I dial in compression on my mixer for vocals it just adds 'hiss' to the track, am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Thanks Greg, The USB interface plugs straight into the back of the pc. Will update when I next boot up. Although recording is okay after the restart procedure, one or two weird things are cropping up. I got my first beat-marker red arrow and I am not in beat mode, plus a volume automation point on o...

Update: As I wondered if it would, the boot has gone back to silent. So you start the Windows audio trouble-shooter loop which takes you to restart. After the re-boot you have sound. Checked MC7 which still has ASIO set as driver, so this is a Windows 10 glitch. However, even though I have to go thr...

Hi, Windows 10 should be fine. What happens if you download and install the latest M-Audio M-Track II driver and try it in ASIO mode? Make sure that the M-Track is connected and recognized by Windows before you start up Mixcraft. Thanks, that seemed to do it! :) Have downloaded that driver previous...

Thanks Eric, That's good news. Currently I've done a Windows 10 re-installation on my Dell Precision 490. I re-downloaded MC7 and the o/s has recognised and enabled M-Audio M-Track II. Am now using Wave RT on all versions of Mixcraft. This is the problem:- When the pc boots there is no sound. No wav...

The reinstall of Windows 10 and indeed MC7 has gone well, I just opened the last project I was working on - from the back-up hard drive - into MC7 on the Precision, and it's fine. Fingers crossed. XP on hold - for now. Even resurrected my previous old DAW as belt & braces, got it up and running....

Win 10 can be a high-wire act in the world of DAW recording... Forget XP and Windows 7. Yes, I know a lot of people love Win 7, but unless you already own a copy, it doesn't make sense to go out and buy Win 7 when Win 8.1 is essentially a new and improved Win 7. Buy Win 8.1 instead Thanks Jon, My m...

Tricked the software into accepting Wave RT by selecting that driver after unplugging the usb interface, then saving the setting/project. When I replugged the interface I was able to record and playback again by way of Wave RT. Hopefully this has sorted problem (silent prayer).

There is nothing funny about ASIO crashing on two separate pc's, I'd say that was fairly diagnostic. The fact that MC7 won't run Wave RT is a concern. That may have something to do with the operating system, so I have moved the issue to another thread. Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Have Dell Precision 490 (refurbished) which came with Windows 10 pre-installed. But after 2 years it has gone haywire. The native platform for the 490 was XP, so what Mixcraft versions were cool with XP Pro please? I am going to have to downgrade from 10 to XP Pro, there is no option.

Thanks.

To locate the latest available specific M-Audio ASIO driver do a Google search for 'M-Audio'. In the search results, under the M-Audio website, you will see 'Drivers and Updates'. Click on this and then navigate to your interface model, eventually selecting the latest 32-Bit or 64-Bit (whichever ve...

Thank you

OK thanks guys

Cool So which versions of Melodyne can do this please, several or only one please?

Thanks.

Thanks Trevor

What do you mean Mark, that MC8 won't allow dragging MIDI files into Mixcraft please?

Please explain.

Many thanks
