Eddie, I think you put a lot of work into your reply and I really appreciate.

My expertise is very high on the actual technicalities of digital hardware and software so I am quite at home with latency issues and ASIO vs MME. I'm not so good on some of the issues that affect sound reproduction through the microphone. Somebody else pinpointed one item that I think was at the heart of the problem and that was how close I was to the mic. Howver, even that did not give me a really good volume on playback, but boosting the volume of the tarck sorted that. This requirement for boost was also something I came across in BIAB when recording to the audio track. I'm not sure why this should be such a problem in BIAB and RB because it does not arise in SONAR or Ableton. Anyway, I can get it to work now and I'm grateful to members for that.

I am now retired from all that stuff and hence my attention being turned to something I always wanted to do. It is also where I am more at the basic level. I am amazed at how helpful members such as yourself are prepared to put time into lengthy replies.


You also mentioned about a lot of people who will simply be using BIAB and RB to generate songs without external input from instruments or voice. Well my initial intention was to do just that but when I saw the possibilities of playing keyboard, guitar, harmonica, sing (all very sub standard you understand) then I couldn't help but push my luck.

I have a whole lot to learn and find the whole thing very exciting.

Regards

John
