Hearing what I have recorded

Post by Jesus the Kid » Mon Jan 26, 2009 11:13 am

Hi,

When I record a mixtape from my cd-decks, I can see the recording being monitored and when I finished recording I do have a file. But when I press 'play' I don't hear anything (I can see the file being monitored and playing, but just no sound!) What can i do about this?

Thanks.

From the Edit menu, select Preferences and go to the Audio I/O tab.
Check that you have the correct audio device selected for the playback device.

If that is selected correctly and you still hear nothing, and if you are using a conventional sound card (not an external sound card) then check your Windows Mixer / Sound card control panel settings (look for a loudspeaker icon near the computer clock).
