Hey all. I just got Cakewalk Pro Audio 9.0 and was trying test it out by downloading some midi files off the net. However, I get this constant hiss when playing back all midi files. Any ideas how to get rid of this? Right now, my audio card is a Soundblaster AWE 64 Value... I'll be revamping the entire PC for audio recording so if it's the audio card, no biggee!!! Thinking of getting a Gadgetlabs 824....
Hiss when playing midi files

MIDI should not hiss. MIDI isn't not audio, but instructions telling a piece of MIDI gear what to play, when, at what volume, etc. (I'm oversimplifying, of course). I'd check your volume settings in Windows or your Soundblaser software. The card may not be ideal, but it certainly shouldn't hiss with MIDI playback.

you could check that you don't have an audio track in record ready status, also try changing the option simultaneous record/playback in your audio options sections as some of the old cards won't support that option
