Windows Vista: Listening while recording.

Post by EddieReynolds » Fri Sep 04, 2009 11:52 am

Hi,

Today I installed your new 1.3.9 Beta program.

I'm trying to record a second track while listening to the first one! It says that I should go to Edit > Preferences > Audio I/E.....and then to ensure that "Play Other Tracks" is ON!

My big problem is that, when I go into "Preferences", there is absolutely no sign of "Audio I/E" ......so I'm STUCK!!! Any thoughts as to what I'M doing wrong?

I would REALLY like to resolve this problem a.s.a.p. as I need to complete a project today!

Thank you very much!

Eddie.

Can't comment about how it works on Vista as I run XP on both my machines.

Just tested on my XP-HE m/c and the second track records fine - while playing the first track at the same time.

You do have both the Overdub and the Sofware Playthrough checked ?
