Hi Bob,

Thanks for reply.

On Record, I can hear the MME drivers and everthihg is going through the SoundCard, BUT no recording is achieved now. According to my notes I was getting a response from the MME drivers initially, but the results were poor being very crackly. It is strange that when I go to record, both RealBand and PTW messages that there are no MIDI drivers installed, but the Drivers are highlighted in the Drivers Box and proceed to play the sounds. If I enable the ASIO driver then I can get recordings, but need to monitor the Soundcard display carefully to avoid clipping.

The VU Meter seems to work for Audio only, whereas I am sure it used to work for Midi Inputs. The Soundcard on Record program works with MME drivers and saves the results in separate folders - so the soundcard is not the problem.

I didn't use the ASIO driver previously and seem to recall that it was believed to be program specific. However, I have recorded a mix of synths, one of which uses the ASIO Driver also. So far it seems to work. If I installed ASIO4all would it work alongside the Creative ASIO to give an alternative input??.

Thus, I haven't even looked at any wave editing problems.

I have reinstalled RealBand, Ptw and the Soundcard a number of times because changing from MME to ASIO in PTW results in a booming sound and then no sounds from anything. I found that I can get the MIDI drivers back by deselecting them ALL and then reinstalling them.
