Recording in Soundforge.

[Jutt-]

Hi guys.

I've just gone from a Hi-Fi set-up to purchasing M1 Active USB Monitor's.

After solving some initial teething problems with output from the great help of this forum , I've ran into another.

On my old set-up I had a Yamaha Mixer and I had the output of it connected to my M-Audio Audiophile 2496 sound card , and another from the sound card's output so I could hear it on my Hi-Fi System.

Another one of the perks of this is that when I opened up Soundforge and played a form of sound from Cubase/I-Tune's/Youtube etc etc it instantly picked up this and I could record it into Soundforge.

However , the setup I have now doesn't seem to need my soundcard and runs off of another driver.

I can deal with this , but I'm having trouble recording from the computer.

The Monitor's Interface has a stereo input which when I plugged the Ipod into it recorded fine.

Anything to do internally with my PC internally it doesn't seem to want to play ball.

Sorry for the long read , any tips ?

Thanks for your time.

This is going to be a tricky one because it ultimately depends on the audio interface wants to route the signal.

In your case, you've got a hybrid of a 2496 and the M1s as an audio interface. The 2496 is handling the input and the M1s are handling the output.

Personally, I wouldn't like this method for several reasons. The big one is you have little control with that output signal. Out of curiousity, how are you monitoring with headphones now while tracking? Does the M1 have any solution for that?

Hi man , thanks for your reply.

There's a Headphone Jack on the M1's.

I agree if it definitely seems a weird scenario.

Good. I'm glad to see that the designers of this gear are putting a bit more thought into their setups these days. 5 years ago we weren't so lucky!
