Hi BIABGuy,

When you say "extracting" .wav files, how do you do this? Do you right-click on the individual track and then select "Save Realtrack as WAV" or do you go to "Audio" on the top menu and then choose "Render MIDI to stereo WAV file etc...".



Sorry I used the wrong term. Instead of extracting I should have said rendering.
I click on the .Wav icon near the top which opens the Render to Wav file screen.

What causes me to wonder is that what you describe sounds like your soundcard is set to record "What You Hear": at least that is what my Creative soundcard calls it. If your card is set to this (or equivalent), it will record both BIAB playing and the microphone (if the mic is turned on). If you want to check this, right-click on the speaker icon in the toolbar and the choose "Recording" and see what is set as "Default".




My soundcard is non-functional. It has a driver/hardware problem.
I went out and bought the Edirol UA 25-EX to act as my soundcard.
But the strange thing that I never figured out, is that even with my USB UA 25-EX not plugged in most of the time, I still hear sound!!!
I don't know how it's possible, but that's the way it is.

Yes it sounded like BIAB recorded both BIAB playing and the microphone.
But this perplexes me. Even if Sound recording was set to the Logitech mic (which it was), why was BIAB recording through my Mic? I thought the signals would be recorded like "direct in" rather than through a microphone when you choose 'Render to Wave'?

And how about BIAB muting one set of audio and not the other? What's going on there?
TIA
