WHY DON'T I HEAR ANY SOUND???
One more thing. The only disadvantage to using the USB audio adapter
is that for most notebook computers you can't hear the sound while you record.
When you click playback you'll hear it no problem (see below), but while you are
actually recording, you probably won't hear it. But have not fear.
That's not a problem either. Your Mixer Interface has a headphone jack that you
can use with either a headset or a pair of computer speakers. No problem.
Plus I've INCLUDED a 3.5mm to 1/4" adapter so that you can use either a
pro 1/4" jacked headset or the 3.5mm stereo jacks that come with all computer
speakers to listen while you record. Remember after you record everything will
work normally. It's just during record or monitoring that you need to use this
sound source.
NOTE NO HEADPHONE SOUND WITHOUT PFL. On the top of the mixer is a PFL switch.
It controls whether the headphone jack plays sound from the A side or B side.
Be sure to set it to A or B depending on where you have whatever is playing your
music plugged in so you can hear what you have plugged in. What's PFL? It's a
preview switch that lets you listen to either A or B side so you a disc jockey
can cue up the next record while one is playing through the mixer interface. We
don't actually need to do that, but we do need to select A or B depending on which
side we are playing.
Headphone/Speaker Volume Control. And here's the actual volume control
to control anything plugged into the headphone jack of the Interface
Mixer. It has no effect on the Mixer's output, just the headphone jack.
So remember. 1st set the PFL switch to A or B depending on where your
music source is plugged in, then set your volume.
It's just this easy to do. And you'll be recording all your LPs, 45s,
78s and cassettes in no time at all. Just wait till you convert them
all to CDs and can take it your music with you wherever you go.
Now you've finished the physical setup. Let's set the editor to record
from the USB adapter.
Three
Easy Ways To Record Using the USB audio Adapter.
There are actually 3 recorders built into the DAK Wav and MP3 Editor
PRO B and advanced version that you can use to record from the USB audio
adapter. All 3 work flawlessly. All 3 have timed no-babysitting recording.
So, just experiment and see which one you like best.
