Can't change from wave synth in track to headset for hearing

I'm not sure what you're trying to do. do you have a MIDI track you're trying to change the output from your softsynth to the audio output? if not, you'll need to give me more details on what you're doing because I don't understand.

Yes, it was a MIDI track that only has the option of Wave Synth. to output. Not sure why. Is it because it's just set up that way? I'll look at the main bus, but I think I already have it set up for headset. I'm not giving up, just can' seem to understand why it won't just go to headset.
Thank you

When you use the microsoft synth it automatically routes to the sound card, the main routes to the sound card in setup. so for headphones to work they must be attached to the sound card output, and should be right. If not i suggest that there is a break in the signal chain, go back and check the options audio setup to make sure playback is setup to the sound card.

Rethink your question ,,,cause I don't understand what you're trying to ask either...sorry.

Thanks, I think this is the exact problem that you've just mentioned. I'll go in and try to
redo, because the MIDI track I did have set up to go through headset, so I'll change it
to sound card and sound card to headset.
Thanks so much

Are you using a USB headset?

I'm trying to record from my Sony cassette player into my computer. I have a Matrix Audio 3.5MM Stereo Plug/ to Stereo. The salesman said this would work. I plug it into my mic. place on my computer and phones from my cd player. It workd with Goldwave, but I can't get it to work with Music Creator 4.

I'm unable to save with Goldwave because I only had a demo and it won't allow me to save.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

USB headsets are difficult to get to work with a complicated program like MC.

try using MME driver mode
OPTONS>AUDIO>ADVANCED>DRIVER MODE = MME
close MC
restart MC

see if you can select the headset from your audio track output

I'm with you there, Rob.

I'll answer anyway...Because someone who does internet work for a living told me to
get this headset.

dalo - just being honest here, tho, the person who does internet work for a living has no idea what he's talking about when it comes to audio recording. no disrespect to your friend intended, but it's kind of like someone who repairs lawn mowers for a living giving advice on how to rebuild a fuel injection on a turbo charged diesel! the lawn mower repair man has his knowledge and although it's related to engines - that knowledge does not transfer to ALL engines. the best hardware advice for recording audio should come from someone or some group of people who have experience at it, not from someone who works with ONE of the tools in a different way.

USB mics (including USB headsets) are problems for most of the complicated sequencers like MC because they have their own clock and their own drivers and those will conflict with the clock and drivers of the soundcard.

Dalo...yeah...what gambler said.... and BTW....Gambler is one of the biggest offenders with the "humor" attached posts .... hang around for any amount of time and you'll see.

And some of the comments offered in these threads have literally left me with tears coming out of my eyes and milk coming out of my nose... so be prepared.

Let me see if I understand your signal flow: cassette deck to computer-is that with stereo RCA to 1/8" stereo plug into the sound card's mic input? I assume 3.5mm is = to 1/8". Phones from the CD player? Or the cassette?
I've done this before with CD players, phonographs, and cassette decks into MC, so it is possible. You may have to use MME driver mode like Beagle wrote above.
Have you been able to record any audio from any source with MC?

Beagle,
thanks for the input. He's not a friend of mine, just someone who " thinks " he knows around every situation and he does do work with Disney, so I thought he knew.
Anyway, I have another plug in headphone, I'll start using that.
Thanks,

I have the 3.5MM chord going directly from cassette to computer and it's still not working. I checked and have MME already engaged. I'll try again. I have a few cassette tapes to transfer and I really don't want to lose them, so I'll keep trying.

Thanks so much
