Error Recording Audio Form a USB Turntable PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Post by BossmanStatic » Fri Mar 06, 2009 8:49 pm

Hi, today i purchased a 'Full Automatic USB Turntable SKYTECH-3100' for sampling old music.

I've got a 'Edirol UA-26EX Audio Interface' and connected to it is 2 Studio Monitors, i have the tec-3100 connected by usb into my iMac. i have audacity installed on it and I've gone to record and I've got this error message "Error while opening sound device. Please check the device input settings and the project sample rate." :o
I have already gone to in system preferences and set i to the 'Audio Codec USB ' which i know is the turntable because the volume bar bouces up and down while it plays. i have also got my edirol audio interface set up as the output.

i have done the same settings in audacity [play back for the edirol and recording for the audio codec] i have also changed the sample rate to the normal settings but i remember seeing my sample rate as 96000 in a music production piece of software called Reason 4.0,and so i tried changing it to that and still no success.

Any Tips and Advice?

This is one of the better USB turntable failures. Most people plug their turntable into their machine, record one album and then it fails.

From the desktop...

Go > Applications > Utilities > Audio Midi Setup. Make sure everything there is set OK. This is a supervisory panel to System Preferences. Then set Audacity to 44100, 16-bit, Stereo in the Audacity Preference panels, and restart Audacity once.

Audacity Preferences have to point to the same sound device as well as the sound standard being set correctly. Audacity operating window will probably say "Default Device." That's normal.

See how that works. The good news is you got bouncing sound lights in the Apple System Preference panel.

Once you have Audacity open, you can click once inside the red recording meters and they will wake up and monitor the level without going into record. You can also do that with the dropdown menu under the record meter; "Start Monitoring."
