  • How to disable direct sound when you use a plugin for guitar?

    I use the Waves GTR plugin for recording guitar in Logic Pro X, but because it puts a lot of pressure on the CPU, I tried he governs through a "bus" instead of having the plugin separately on every guitar track. The difference is that when I use the bus option, I can't seem to get rid of dry direct sound which is obviously very embarrassing. The only way for me to get rid of the direct sound is to use the RTM plugin on every guitar track that quickly causes the overload program when using several of these titles.

    Anyone know how to get rid of the direct sound when you use the alternative of bus for the guitar tracks?

    just at the exit of the guitar channel strip no output. This way you won't hear at the follow (because the dry track will not be transmitted to any output)

    First check the status of the sound card in Device Manager.
    If there is a yellow climbing brand then you should try to reinstall the driver. (first remove it and after reboot, install a new)

    Have you checked the volume setting and the site of laptop? Eventually he s a very simple idea, but believe me, I read many comments here in the forum and a lot of guys forget this option simply.

  • No sound, but not found problems.

    I have no sound on my computer. I ran the fix - it tool, and no problem not found. The volume is at 100%. I am open to the control panel and go to Device Manager and opened the audio, video and game controllers to check the status of specific bequests and to search for driver updates. There is no problem with the sound on my computer, and then that I move on and search for new updates, none have been found by the computer and the fix - it tool. I still have no sound. My computer is a laptop, so there is no son to check outside. Help, please.

    In addition to the steps already suggested, I would recommend that you run the DirectX troubleshooter that you can access as follows:

    1. Click on start, then run (press Windows key + R if you do not "run" in the start menu) and copy / paste the following and then click OK: dxdiag
    2. Once the animation is completed loading, click on the "Sound" tab and then click on the button 'Test Direct Sound' and meet the guests accordingly.
    3. If you still hear nothing, click on the "music" tab and try to test each port. By 'port', I mean the options that are available to you which you should be able to see in the list.
    4. If the above results remain negative, click on the tab 'More help' and then click on the "Sound" button This will launch the Windows sounds troubleshooting utility where you will have a number of options to choose from.

    In case it doesn't, try to use the system restore to wind back the clock by one hour when you know that the PC was working properly, to run the system restore, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | The system restore.
    2. Click the option: "Restore my computer to an earlier time" and then click Next. You will get a calendar with a certain number of Restore Points that appear in bold . Choose one where you know audio was working properly.

    System Restore takes a few minutes to run during which the PC will restart. Not to interrupt this cycle. When the PC reboots, it loads the menu of system restore, where you will see a message about whether if the restore was successful or not. Click OK to start the desktop and then try to play something to check if audio works now.

    Know that when you run the system restore, all the programs that you installed after the date that you choose to restore to will need to be reinstalled again. It goes the same for updates and security patches.

  • recording bass and the sound is not consistent

    I pulled in a recorded drum track and then add my bass track. Good when playing and listening to headphones but when I play back the bass track is virtually all of the sounds heard. not sure on the volume level and record level as to the definition of remedy if it is part of the question

    Hi marosennc,

    I understand that you are trying to save your bass guitar on a pre-recorded drum track, and the volume is low in the final recording.   You can adjust the bass track audio before recording it.  In addition, once the title is saved, you can adjust the volume of the bass and the drummers individually track track before exporting the file to merge the two.  I would add a few sections of the GarageBand here for you User Guide.

    Record sound from a microphone or an electric instrument

    Racing volume levels

    You can set the volume level of each track, to balance the relative volume of the tracks in your project.

    Adjust the level of the volume of the track

    • In the header of the track, drag the Volume left or right to decrease or increase the volume level.

      Note: You may need to resize the track header to see the Volume slider.

    • Option + click on the slider to return to a neutral level (0 dB gain).

    The level indicator in the track Volume slider shows the output volume of the track during playback of the project. You can watch the level indicator when you save to the track to see if clipping occurs on the track.

    What did the mix?

    When you mix a project, balance you the different parts and mix them in a coherent whole. You can also add effects to the tracks - including the main runway - to change their sound and use automation to create dynamic changes in your project over time.

    Mix generally involves the following steps:

    • Racing volume levels to balance different instruments so nothing is hidden and most important parts stand out in the mix.

  • Satellite L755-1ED - sound is not working properly

    Hello

    I am currently the owner of a Toshiba Satellite L755 1ED and the sound does not work as it should for a few weeks. When I try to play an audio file or a video, its offline or online, works well for the first few minutes, and then suddenly disappears. I use Windows 7, and when that happens, his is still known for the system as you can see in the volume control, but any noise is coming from the speakers. However:
    -If I pause the video and then repeat it in like 30 seconds, sound usually comes back. Also if I go to Sound Settings in + material and Sound + in the + control panel + and then try to check if it works, it's usually after the first or second attempt.
    -If I use headphones always works perfectly.

    I have already installed the latest updates of my sound card and I don't know where the problem is maybe. Some help would be welcome.
    Thank you very much and sorry for my English (is not my native language).

    Very interesting article. Speakers a little internal switch port that helps mobile to recognise that the earphones are connected and when you connect headphones, internal speakers will be disabled and the sound comes through the speakers only.

    On some machines, it is possible to manually switch between external and internal contacts

    3. no mute FN + Esc
    4. feature eat that all drivers ok

    Hello

    If I understand your right all devices listed correctly in the Device Manager and you don t have yellow exclamation points?

    Normally, for high definition sound cards, you need two patches from Microsoft:
    KB835221 and KB888111.
    Normally, these patches are integrated into SP3 but it works only if you install the audio driver after SP3. So, if you have an older version of XP without SP3, you must update to SP3, all first and then install the display driver.

    So in your case, you must delete the current sound driver and restart the laptop. Then use CCleaner to clean the registry and system files. Reboot the laptop. Then download and install the driver of his newest Realtek Hompage.

    Good bye

  • Re: Sound does not work on Tecra M10

    Hi all

    I have a Tecra M10 with XP and all the drivers installed, but sound does not work.

    I checked the Device Manager and everything is fine, no red cross or whatever it is on the driver realtek audio.

    Everything on the sound properties. I even uninstalled and downloaded the audio driver from the toshiba site again but still no sound and no mistake.
    Can someone help out here?

    Thank you.

    Hello!

    The sound is turned off on your laptop? With the FN + ESC key combination you can enable/disable it.
    Check it!

    In addition to the high definition audio devices you need two patches from Microsoft to go looking for the proper functioning. Have you installed the two?
    Here are the links to the Microsoft Knowledge Base where you can download both:
