I have just bought and install X1 Studio. The interface is Edirol UA-25. I've plugged bass guitar into UA-25 and the green volume controls are flashing but I hear NO AUDIO. The bass gets recorded, I can hear it later in a playback mode. The only time I can hear my bass is when "Input Echo" is switched to "On" but the sound is insanely distorted (though recored sound is not distorted at all) What am I doing wrong ? Interface setup?
 
Sample files play ok.

you installed the drivers for it ? firstly make sure the soundcard is setup

if you haven't already

Make sure you have it set to ASIO mode in the Audio Preferences. Did you follow the instructions when installing the UA-25?

What's your computer's specs? What version of Windows?  Need more info.   

Hi Afrodrum.

If you look at the bottom of daveny5's post, he lists his system specs in detail.  I do this too, if you look at the bottom of this post.  Go into your profile and click on the Signature tab and plug that stuff in.

Most of us do that so that anytime we post some weirdness, folks don't have to hound us for some idea of what kind of system we are running - the signature ALWAYS takes care of that for us.

Many times, just reading someone's initial post and referring to their specs can offer a bunch of ideas as to what kinds of things may have caused that poster's problems.

Sooooooooooo, when you get a chance please update your profile, and also post your specs here as quickly as you can, including in this case what the status if of your interface drivers and settings.

We will do our best to help you - to do that we need this kind of info.

Thanks,

Thanks, same as my X1 the computer is three days old and its not completely finished yet. It has some monster 12 core processor, 24GB RAM, Windows 7.  I will attach specs to my ID as soon as its finished.

The moment I plugged UA-25 in the system recognised it as the soundcard and I could play with no problem mp3's, you tube and X1 samples.

I went to EDIT->PREFERENCES->AUDIO->PLAYBACK AND RECORDING and switched to ASIO.

Then I went to EDIT->PREFERENCES->AUDIO->DEVICES and my UA-25 is not listed in INPUT DRIVERS window neither in OUTPUT DRIVERS windows. Both windows are empty. I downloaded UA-25 driver from Roland site and the installation went knowhere in the middle - at one point NEXT button went grey.

go to control panel, sound, and check that you have the edirol set as default for playback/record p.s did you download the 64 bit drivers

Actually UA-25 seems to automatically launch its drivers everytime I connect it with the computer. I just tried to use the drivers downloaded from Roland site and the system says UA-25 is already installed. The INPUT/OUTPUT DRIVERS windows in PREFERENCES->AUDIO->DEVICES are still empty.

AHA - you have the dreaded "can't wait" syndrome, just like the rest of us :)

You DEFINITELY have some setup work to do, despite your resounding success at playing an MP3 file.

I believe we need to revisit your interface driver installation vanishing act in the middle.

I would suggest:

1.  Take a moment - order some pizza, get a hug
2.  Download the drivers again from Roland.  Maybe something there did not download cleanly
3.  Give me a hint as to what you mean when you say that your system is 'not completely finished yet'.
4. I have a hunch that when you switched to ASIO, that the reason it didn't show anything was that your ASIO drivers are not actually installed as of yet.
5.  Go get another hug OR a slice of pizza
6.  Let me know when you have the drivers downloaded again, and I will be on hand when you are ready to do their installation.  If you want, I will send you a private message with my cell, if you are in the states, and you can call me when you are ready to install your drivers.  Just say something in your post reply.

Folks in the forum help each other out with drivers and setup LOTS of times, and I am confident we can help you too.

So, I will look for a t least one post from you, that will hopefully contain some idea of what your system specs are, also telling me you have downloaded the interface drivers again from Roland, AND whether or not you want me to send you my cell, so that I can walk you through at least part of this over the phone.

Welcome to our  happy little family, by the way,

Indeed I have edirol set default for playback and (!) UA-25 is not listed in record window so I cant set it default. In record window I have Realtek which probably refers to the mic/phone devices on the computer case front panel. I quit using downloaded drivers as soon as system confirmed the UA-25 is already installed

I am not that impatient, I just spent half day trying to be smart and solve problem myself. I live in Warsaw Poland, it is almost Monday here so everybody I could hug or order pizza from went to bed. Until tomorrow you are my only family.  I'm off to Roland to download driver again as instructed. Please dont go away, Bob
