Using Sonar 5 PE with Edirol UA-1000 module, Windows XP. Standard SoundBlaster card for non-recording purposes.
Problem: I've gone through the set-up several times, and when recording, there is some distortion (pops and crackles) from the monitor speakers (Edirol MA-20D) when using the microphone. Armed, recording and playback. Until I speak or sing into the microphone, there is silence. At the first syllable, there is crackling. Is there something I'm overlooking?
Problem: (related to the first problem, I'm sure) Even after checking all settings, I have to keep my monitor speakers at less than 1/4 volume for monitoring AND playback, because they're too loud! And when an XP system sound (like when alerts pop up) occurs, they're EXTREMELY loud! What am I doing wrong?
And lastly, the least important problem, but annoying nonetheless: Any time I play any recorded MIDI files (including sample Cakewalk content) there is a 2-second long BEEP that occurs about every 33 seconds! What causes this?
MUCH appreciation for any advice!
