Just got my E-mu 1212M (Creative sound driver), I thought it would never be instsalled, computer was crashing couple times, had to swap PCI slots back and forth, re-installing drivers... what a nightmare.
I thought it's gonna fix midi latency/buffer problems and stuff like that... well. it kinda did, the Reason Demo Songs are actually playing (at the highest buffer rating of coarse), but midi....I'm still gonaa keep my M-Audio 1x1midi interface.
When using E-mu's midi, when i play notes they actually sound the sampler and synths, but when i record the notes also sound, but don't record anything, no data is recorded, when i plug into m-audio 1x1 everything is recorded ok. lots of strange things with this card...
 
Never had ANY of those issues. That's a drag.
 
samething with audio, it plays but doesn't record anything, in patchmix DSP both in and out meters are showing that audio is coming in and out.

That wounds like you haven't figured out patchmix yet. Do a search here on Patchmix, there have been a number of threads on it.
 
yeah i'm starting to get it a little, but still it's very confusing, especialy using it with other software, i tried selecting different drivers in Sonar 6 and Reason, in sonar under playback and recording WDM/KS actualy recorded but at very low volume, and i had meters in parchmix all the way up. also when i was launching sonar the audio hardware profiler only went upto 48khz, but the 1212m is actually 24-bit/192khz.
Which driver should i select ?
In Reason there are: ASIO DirectX Full Duplex
ASIO Multimedia
ASIO4All v2
E-mu ASIO
DX Primary
DX E-DSP wave[2400]
MME E-DSP Wave[2400]

In Sonar: WDM/KS
ASIO
MME[32-bit]

In Cubasis VST 4: ASIO DirectX Full Duplex
ASIO Multimedia
ASIO4All v2
E-mu ASIO
 
I used ASIO. I suspect you want to use the Emu ASIO.
 
Yeah, if you want to be able to utilize the card's potential, and latency timings, you'll most likely want to use the EMU's ASIO drivers.
 
Which of these id E-mu's asio In Sonar:
WDM/KS
ASIO
MME[32-bit] ?
 
I figured out now most of the stuff (of coarse thanks to all your help).
Last Question:
In Sonar, what's up with all this, Does one input channel has 2 channels or something:

Left E-mu ASIO I/O Card L
Right E-mu ASIO I/O Card L
Stereo E-mu ASIO I/O Card L
Left E-mu ASIO I/O Card R
Right E-mu ASIO I/O Card R
Stereo E-mu ASIO I/O Card R
Left E-mu ASIO PCI Card L
and so on...
 
Weird...There should only be one for L, one for R and one for Stereo. No such thing as a stereo mono channel. :confused:

If you want to record audio from the left channel, then try selecting:

Left E-mu ASIO I/O Card L

For the right, select:

Right E-mu ASIO I/O Card R

For stereo, try either one of the Stereo options.
