Trouble with recording.
Trouble with recording. Posted on: 24.04.2013 by Graciela Visca I'm trying to record a mix but the audio is being recorded stuttering, as if the transform effect is active on the mixer.I've got: Pioneer DJM800 mixer. Behringer UCA202 external sound card. Ableton Live 8. I've connected everything up as instructed, and watched a YouTube video on how to have Ableton set up to record the audio. Red/White RCAs from 'Rec' on the back of the mixer to 'input' on the sound card. The sound card is connected to my laptop through the USB port. The audio is coming though clearly and at a satisfactory volume/quality - just broken up. WHAT CAN I DO?! | |

| Antonetta Wikel 27.04.2013 | I'd guess they disable the recording feature on trial software. |
| Graciela Visca 27.04.2013 | Ableton Live 8 (free 30day trial activation) - not buying it till I know I'm happy with it. I've heard Audacity can be a fucker to sort the levels out on? |
| Alphonso Deitchman 25.04.2013 | Try something simpler like Audacity too. |
| Antonetta Wikel 25.04.2013 | What software are you recording with? |
| Graciela Visca 25.04.2013 | Thanks for your suggestions, but nothing has worked. Makar - What do you mean have I tested the Master RCA sockets? The master RCA sockets on my mixer are connected to my stereo which is playing the music while I DJ. Patch - No, I'm mixing on CDJs connected to my mixer, I'm only recording on my laptop. I tried turning the latency up, it sounded worse and still broken. Anything else I could try? Thanks in advance. |
| Brunilda Kora 24.04.2013 | Oops. |
| Alphonso Deitchman 24.04.2013 | Latency up. Not down. |
| Brunilda Kora 24.04.2013 | I'd bet this is a computer issue. Are you mixing using software on the same machine that you are using to record? Playing and recording audio at the same time is hard work, as you are contantly reading and writing to the hdd. If you are mixing externally, then you probably just need to turn your latency down a little in Lives preferences. Take it REAL low - latency doesn't matter one bt when you are recording from an external source. |
| Alphonso Deitchman 24.04.2013 | Have you tested the Master Out RCA sockets too? |
