hi, with guitar tracks pro 3, i hear alot of computer noise, ie when i arm the the record button, and the meter is always showing something going thru  and you hear that
darn anoing noise thru the head phones, any ideas?
 
also how do you lower the recording volume, even tho i have the slider down , it still records very high
 
windows 7 home premium 64 bit , 8 gig ram, quad core i7 acer desktop

 
Hi there Jason
 
The sliders (faders) in GT3 don't have any effect on the recording levels, only playback. The input level to GT3 is usually adjusted directly by the controls of your soundcard. If you are using an external soundcard, you'll probably have to access it's associated software; if you're using your PC soundcard, you can access the Windows sound control panel by double clicking on the loudspeaker icon in the system tray.
 
Are you using your computer's soundcard or an 'add-on' USB or Firewire hardware unit?

Thanks steve,
I have an M audio fast back unit..
it hasa guitar gain knob and output knob thing on the top ..
 
and i have a fuly regeoed version and still getting chopy audiio playback, only on guitar part..
im wondering if  i can duel boot my pc ,ie windows 7 64 bit
and duel boot with 32 bit?
can I do that, I know i used to duel boot xp and vista on a previous pc..
 
not sure on this new quad core unit

Hi Jason,

Yes you can set it up for dual boot. However you can run 32 bit programs in a 64 bit OS environment. I would however recommend running GTP3 in Compatibility Mode in Win 7.

As for the Noise. This is new?
 If the noise is only with your guitar. I have to ask if you have checked your cables and leads? This could very well be the source of your trouble. Some more info on your recording setup would help as well.

thanks again, which compatiblity mode? there seems to be quite a bit of choice
not sure where the noise is comming from , sound computerish..

been a while since ive used this

milo


thanks again, which compatiblity mode?

Try it in Compatibility Mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 2) Jason.
 
When do you notice the noise - is it once you connect your guitar, once you arm a track to record, or during playback? Or a combination of these?

it seems to be when i arm the track, that blue meeter thing moves , even with out any volume on the guitar or my m audio unit..

I would suspect the cabling first. Check to make sure none of your audio cables are laying across power cables. Second check your Guitar input gain. Try rolling this back to see if it eliminates the noise. This would also reduce the input volume when recording. Next I have to ask about the guitar. Are the electronics shielded? Does it have single coil or humbuckers? If the noise persists you may need to introduce a gate into the signal path. Something like a Hush or Decimator.
