In 1.2, the effects choices only wake up after you select some audio. That doesn't happen in 1.3. We have been recommending that people slide over to 1.3 for any serious work. You can put 1.2 and 1.3 on your machine at the same time as along as you only use one at a time. You can't open up a 1.3 Pro...

<<<btw - no power adapter on the usb just runs on power from the computer>>> Cast your mind back about three messages ago.

My sister's machine puts a high pitched hiss on one channel only (left) and the other one is clean, so she has troubles with good quality audio. Two of my PCs at home have well-behaved SoundBlaster® sound cards a...

<<<If I disconnect the 2 rcas no whine,>>> Let me read this back to you. You have the whole thing set up for recording and the act of removing the two RCAs from the USB device gives you a clean recording? I'm clear that disconnecting the RCAs removes the monitor amplifier and speakers, but does it c...

<<<Surely this is not so hard !>>> Yes, it is. And don't call me Shirley (Leslie Neilsen, "Airplane" 1980.) This is the same problem that Vonage and Skype have. In order to make this stuff work with any reliability at all, they have to grab the machine sound services with a vice and not le...
