I've just started recording on Cubasis (audio mainly via an audigy soundcard) and it was all going fine until last night. Now i'm not a very technical person so you might have to bear with me here, but I got an error message when tried to boot the programme telling me it was missing a file and i should reinstall it. Not seeing another way round it (i'd tried rebooting the machine a couple of times and it still happened) I uninstalled, and then reinstalled the programme. Everything seemed fine until I tried replaying a track I'd recorded and it jumped, skipped and finally fed back on itself, even after i'd closed Cubasis down (The track had been recorded on the fouled version on Cubasis). Restarting my machine was the only way to stop the horrible squealling feedback. Having rebooted the machine I tried playing the demo song, but the same thing happened. Has something terrible happened to my sound card/ harddrive? Any suggestions?
I've resigned myself to losing the track that was recorded on the old version, but am i now doomed?? I'd really appreciate any help at all. cheers
 
Do you have a live mic that was still on in the room while you were listening?? Or do you have your signal routed through an effects processor that you forgot to turn off/rerout? You shouldn't have feedback just from playing a track.
 
Feedback

I agree with Bass. Sounds like your mic is still live. Either unplug the mic or hit the monitor button to turn off the mic. (If its on its yellow and looks like a speaker)
 
Nope, nothing was plugged in to any of the input ports on the soundcard or elsewhere no mics, no leads no nuffin, only the headphones.
Has anyone else had experience of songs jumping and skipping? It was like a badly scratched cd. I'd be grateful for any help.
 
did it show a spike in the levels when it did this? Sometimes I have noticed SX is exceptionally sentive to power surges. It will spike (usually all the tracks at once) and make similar noises to what you are getting...also look out for a feedback loop...and finally make sure you are using the latest version as I found it did this a lot more when I was running 1.01 as opposed to 1.03.
 
no problem...those issues can be VERY annoying...especially when you have a band waiting for you to figure it out :(
