Hi Guys
My first post so if i have missed anything please let me know…
i have tried to resolve the issue myself but have had no luck, I have searched through forums and online material but cannot find the help i need…
system details -
windows 7 professional
service pack 1
64 bit o/s
running audacity 2.1.1
audio interface - m audio fast track ultra 8r usb
i have been recording my drum kit for around 4-5 weeks using the m audio interface without any issues, recordings been fine and preferences had been set where required etc etc etc so all good.
When recording i would multitrack record using all 8 channels and then delete 3 tracks as i only have 5 mics…fine no problems for the first 4/5 weeks…
about a week ago i went to record as i would do, and encountered an issue with the drop down menu not showing my 8 channels option… i have made no changes to anything in regards to the process i follow or computer changes etc etc it was there one day and not the next…
my typical setting that i have been using with no problems were -
windows wasapi multichannel (m-audio fast track 8R) 8 channel
now for some reason all i’m getting in the drop down menu is
1 (mono) record
2 (stereo) record
no channel 8 option???
i have been through all my options in the devices & printers sections, checked device properties, audacity preferences (all options tried to see if i could get one option to show 8 channels),also i’ve checked drivers, reinstalled drivers, checked for updates uninstalled interface restored etc etc
I haven’t seen the 8 channel option while changing and exploring different options etc.
Can anyone please help…!!!
again as mentioned at the start if i have missed anything please could you let me know
cheers guys
