Input Device Not Recognized

Post by PNorth70 »

Hi. I am brand new to Mixcraft, though experienced with DAWs. On first use (Pro Studio 8.1 64) isn't arming tracks properly. I have a Focrite 2i2, which shows up as the device under preferences. But when arming I do not get the option to select a channel from the 2i2 as the input source. Arm for Performance and All Midi boxes seem to be permanently checked. Screenshots attached.

Interestingly, I didn't have this problem using the basic version demo, and the 2i2 is working fine with other software. Possible I'm just missing something simple here (wouldn't be the first time)... All ideas appreciated!

Are you arming to record audio from the focusrite 2i2? If this is the case, you should arm an audio track. In the screen shot you are arming a virtual instrument track.

Thanks. Yes, you are right, and I eventually figurd that out. That first track was assigned by Mixcraft by default for a new project, and it never occurred to me that it was not an audio track. Have it working now...
