okay...im using windows vista 32-bit premium and I cannot overdub using acoustica...I click the adjust recording level feature and that error pops up like you posted in the FAQ on here.
But I noticed vista don't have the wave feature on the mixer (like Windows 9x) when I right click the little speaker icon on the system tray menu. Also, my soundcard is SigmaTel High Def. Audio codec with the Creative SoundBlaster Audigy codec. Is this the problem and why I cannot overdub? How can I fix it so I can overdub and record over tracks, etc.?
please help...

Thanks
yeah..i have the overdub box checked, but when I click on Adjust Recording Levels...an error pops up that says:
"There is a problem launching Windows mixer. Please use Add/Remove in the control panels to add the Volume control component and then try this again."
I downloaded the driver update for my card and nothing changed. It's confusing cause on my old Windows 98 SE PC Acoustica worked great but on Vista, I can't overdub! The overdub feature needs the Wave volume panel to work, right? The Wave feature is nowhere to be found.
I don't know what else to do?! Thanks! Help!

Hi,
The "Adjust Recording Levels" button doesn't work in Windows Vista, but that's not a huge problem, because you can just open your sound card's mixer controls by clicking on the small volume control icon in your Windows task bar, or by going into the Windows Control panel. There, you can select the default recording device and adjust its levels. It's the same screen that the "Adjust Recording Levels" button would bring up.
We're probably not going to do any further updates to MP3 Audio Mixer, since it's such an old program. You might want to check out Mixcraft 3.
