terrible feedback

[jesusfreakzdw]

I have an Inspire 1394 with Cubase LE Software. I had an old computer laptop and it worked okay but popped alot. So, I bought a new laptop with 2gb memory. I also had to switch to an express card because of the new laptop. Now, all playback of what I record sounds terrible. Tons of feedback and you can barely hear instruments or audio. I have tweaked all knobs in the Inspire screen and nothing changes. I am running windows vista. I dont think it is a vista problem because old laptop had Vista too. Can you help?

why don't you post something so we can hear what you mean by feedback. It could be alot of things...

Sounds like you have a line level signal plugged into a "mic" input.
That pretty wild when you do that kind of screaming with a lot of noise.

what does this mean?: Sounds like you have a line level signal plugged into a "mic" input.

I thought you were using a sound card with a mic input and plugging a line level signal into it. I see, kind of, you said your using an express card. What is that? An interface for the inspire?

This is how to post a sample. It has to be an MP3 and 11.4 mb or smaller.
following is a link to a video that shows how to do this....

if you go to post a reply or start a new thread, scroll down once the new post window comes up. There is a rectangular button that says "manage attachments". Hit that and upload a mix. As Dave said, MP3 is the ticket.

Also try not post the same question in different threads. It makes it hard to keep track. I posted this answer in the original thread; maybe it'll help.

According to Cubase LE's User Manual and Steinberg's website, Vista is NOT listed as a supported OS for Cubase LE. A friend of mine even contacted Steinberg Tech Support and they confirmed this. My advice is to get rid of Vista; its probably the worst excuse for an OS ever created, especially for audio processing. XP has proven to be a stable platform over and over.

I have to agree whole heartedly on this. I always say Vista is shitsta!
