Quick tutorial question
Good morning fellow sufferers. I have got my EMU usb soundcard connected up and as I dont have headphones yet Ive got a lead from the headphone socket into my stereo. I've played a music video on youtube and it comes through very nicely, so the soundcard is working. I then tried tutorial #1 and it is silent. I moved the EMU to the top of the output list (keyboard is the only other midi device and ive tried it checked and unchecked) but nothing. Reading through the forum I see a few mentions of tutorial #8 but should I be hearing sound in #1? Or do I need to do #8 first??? Cheers

Total noobie here, but I do think that you will need to insert a soft-synth into the project to be able to hear any MIDI tracks you have there. It is quite easy - just open the track view and go to INSERT/SOFT SYNTH, and choose CAKEWALK TTS-1. An options box appears...now I can only give you the set up I have got, so here goes.... ensure that the following are CHECKED in the tick boxes: SYNTH PROPERTY PAGE SYNTH RACK VIEW FIRST SYNTH AUDIO OUTPUT Ensure the following boxes are UNCHECKED: ALL SYNTH AUDIO OUTPUTS STEREO ALL SYNTH AUDIO OUTPUTS MONO Then open the track itself so you can see the inputs/outputs, and select MIDI Omni as the track input, and Cakewalk TTS-1 as the track output. Your MIDI should then be played through the TTS-1 synth. Hope this is some help, and that I haven't put you on the wrong track. I'm a total noob, but there will be a few others here who know it inside out - they're in the USA though so the time difference means you gotta wait a while until they get up lol.

rob's got it right - in fact with a quality soundcard like you have purchased, you have to do tutorial #8 first, learn to insert softsynths, then go back to tutorial 1.

I just wonder how hard it would have been for cakewalk to have had a wizard to get you through this minefield. The tutorials are not exactly straightforward. Doesn't it say something like "fast" on the box????? Hey ho, what dont kill you makes you stronger.

yeah, but remember that the MARKETING "EXPERTS" write the crap, er, I mean, descriptions on the box.

You are indeed!

Just the other day, I was applying some compression to a mix. I hit the wrong button, and accidentally turned my brother into a turtle. Mom is going to be sooooo mad when she finds out.
