Hi guys
been browsing a few home recording forums lately and this one seems to be in a language i can understand and pretty friendly. Anyway, like most newbies, i have an issue that needs solving....i am trying to record accoustic guitar, bongos, bass (pretty basic) acoustic tracks. i have an alesis 16 channel mixer, a decent mic (beyerdynamic version of the sm58, cant remember the name) and a few programs on my pc.unforunately im just using a 30 pound pci soundcard not built for the rigours of recording, but will be getting a dmx 6 fire within a month. however im anxious to get some of the ideas i have down just so i remember them (even as an alternative to a dictaphone until my soundcard comes!!!). I have it all set up properly (mixer to line in etc) and any sound i put into the mixer comes out the computer monitors - but i cant record it. i am using audacity (ive tried sound recorder as well though, so its not the fault of the program...) but it wont show up. not a thing. im reasonably advanced with computers, ive checked the line in volume is on, mute is off, correct soundcard is selected etc.... what could the matter be???!!!
cheers folks
