Hello dmrodes,

Starting with Windows Vista, there is no record control or play control window like there was in earlier operating systems. The setup is done in the Volume Mixer (which shows a separate fader for each running application) and in the Sounds window. In the Sounds window, you might need to right-click and select 'show disabled devices'. You will need to select something other than microphone, because that won't allow BB to record the GS wavetable.

If you don't have anything other than Microphone to select, your computer's sound device might not have the ability to record what it's playing. In this case, a good solution is to use a DXi synth instead of the GS Wavetable. The sound quality will be better, and rendering is much easier. If you happen to have the 32-bit version of Windows 7 installed, then you can use the Roland VSC-DXi. If you have the 64-bit version, you would need to use a different DXi synth. The Coyote WaveTable DXi synth is included with BB2010 and works on Windows 7-64bit. It sounds similar to the GS WaveTable but has all the advantages of using a DXi synth instead of a non-DXi MIDI driver. If you don't upgrade to 2010, other options are the ForteDXi and TTS-1 synth included with Cakewalk Music Creator, which can be purchased on our site.
