Only wav in PCM 32 when record audio track ?

Hi,

when i record an audio track, the result is in a wav file with a PCM signed 32bit (2822kbps)... Is it possible modify this parameter ? (i prefer 16bit 1411kbps).

Thx

Hi, go into file>preferences and to the "sound devices" section. Set your specific sound card there and also the sample rate and bit depth.

Re,

I will have to wait til I can get to my studio in order to check my m-audio settings, but have you tried the m-audio control panel? It should be running in your system tray when you boot the pc.

Yes, i'll tried via m-audio control panel but there are nothing for change the LPCM, only the sample rate and buffer size.

Hmm, it is difficult for me right now, I have a laptop only, no asio no anything.
I will check this post later tonight and see if it is resolved, if not I will look up my m-audio settings.

Ok, I played with a delta44 and you are right, the only thing you can change is the sample rate from within the m-audio control panel. I set it to 44,100 which is the norm for me. I normally use the Delta 1010LT but I am sure the control panel is similar if not the same one.
Is recording with these settings slowing your computer down?

No slowing but some plugins require 16bit format like Voco2 (http://www.g200kg.com/en/software/vocov.html).

So, after recording in Mixcraft, i use external editor for convert the wav file. Just a little tiresome, not critical.

Thx for all

All my Mixcraft made musics are here

well this seems to be an m-audio limitation rather than a Mixcraft limitation. Mixcraft displays what the card will do. You might want to contact m-audio support and ask if there is a way to switch it to 16 bit.
