missing XP drivers for soundcards (?) I just bought the Audiophile 2496pci card and tried to install it. During installation, I received a message that the ksuser.dll file is needed, and was prompted to search for it. I had to cancel out of the installation. This happened when I tried to...

Creative's web site and customer support has been no help, so I'm hoping I can find the answer here. My old computer ran Windows 98, and I was using an SB Live MP3+ card to record. I was hoping to just install the same card into my new computer, which runs Windows XP, but the card was only...

Folks, I'm not interested in getting into a flame war - that certainly wasn't the intent of my last post (and remember that the "newbie" tag is based on # of posts only). I have no doubt whatsoever as to the expertise of the helpful people that post here. I can only speak from personal...

Actually, it very well could be power lines, radio signals, transformers, etc. Especially if the same exact equipment setup worked well in another location in the past (believe me, I've done a lot of research on this, out of necessity, and even called several local recording studio for advice)...

It's very possible (actually very probable) that NONE of your equipment is the problem. I've been on an ongoing quest for the last 10 months since moving to my new house to solve exactly this problem - so far, it appears to be the result of interference from some nearby radio towers that are...

Thanks, all. From the looks of it, sounds like I need to invest in a better soundcard. I have found the SB Live to render great recordings of digital audio via a mic thru the line-in jack... I guess I figured I could expect the same from a line-in from my keyboard. Strange. It's mostly the...

I'm using HS 2002, and I'm converting MIDI to audio via my keyboard (i.e., MIDI data out from soundcard into keyboard, audio out from keyboard back into soundcard via line-in). The sound quality is just not as dynamic as what I'm hearing through my headphones (which are also plugged into the...

I am converting MIDI data to audio using the following components/settings: - MIDI track output going through external source (keyboard) - audio going from keyboard to Line-In on the Soundblaster Live! My question has to do with the settings of the destination track. If I have the In field...

2 related questions (I am a CWHS 9 user with an SB Live card): 1) My keyboard has sounds which are not among the MIDI sounds on the soundcard. How can use those sounds to record? I'm primarily taking about drum sounds, but there are others as well. I have General MIDI percussion sounds on...

This is more of an electronics-related question than anything else... I recently moved to a new house and my speakers/headphones seem to be picking up not only a buzzing noise, but also a faint signal from what I think is a local radio station. This is just mildly annoying when listening to...

Turns out it was a sound card problem after all.... I tried Ensoniq PCI, but a Cakewalk rep said it probably wasn't powerful enough. I upgraded to SB Live and now everything's A-OK. Thanks to all who responded! ARC

I'm having trouble locating a program that will allow me to design/print my own CD covers and inserts (for liner notes, lyrics, etc.). Does anyone have experience with this? If so, any suggestions? Thanks, ARC

I'm pretty sure I've tried it both ways.... but, most recently, I was in overwrite mode. Thanks in advance for any further feedback you may have....

Hi all - I'd like some feedback before I spend more $$$ upgrading my PC for recording purposes. I'm using CWHS 9, and almost everytime I record a track over an exisiting one (usually a vocal over an acoustic guitar track), the vocal track becomes out of sync at some point (during playback, not...

Sorry, I guess that would help... by "awful" I mean the playback has lots of hiss, cracking, the volume itself is very low (almost inaudible) and muffled.... almost like recording using one of those old tape decks with condenser mics. My sound card is fine when playing back MP3s, and it seems...

Thanx for the feedback... as coinicidence would have it, I got the advice RE the preamp from the music store, and everything seems OK now. Follow-up question though (which I'll also post on its own).... everything sounds great through my headphones now, but when it's recorded, the sound is...

I know relatively little about microphones and computer hardware.... I cannot get my Shure SM-57LC to work through my PC (I want to record using Cakewalk 9), Is it a sound card driver problem? Is there something more I need to do besides plugging the mic cable into my PC (using a 1/8"...
