Very strange problem - certain sound input causes input device tochange
So I've been using Audition 1.5 and an M-audio Firewire 410 input
device for well over a year now, no problems. Recently I've been recording from old record players, starting and stopping the player, changing the speed, basically warping the vinyl records as I record them. Today I started trying to record several tracks of starting and quickly stopping the record player. This works for about 20-30 second, then suddenly the sound stops, audition stops recording, the marker point keeps moving but even the colored background the is created as it normally records goes away. When I stop to check the input device, it has changed from the Firewire 410 to 'IDT Audio 1'. A reboot brings things back to normal. If I record anything else, or play back what I have so far of the session, everything is fine, but as soon as I start recording the turntable starting and stopping, the same thing happens. It's as if this type of sound causes the hardware or softare or OS to suddenly in mid-recording change the input device. Does anyone have any idea what's going on? I didn't think it would matter what sound is going in, how can that affect things this way? |

"Starting and stopping," huh... I imagine you're toggling the turntable's power switch and that generates a big spike that gets into the computer and mucking with the soundcard setting. There may be a few things you could do, but I second Richard's advice. I wouldn't want to turn anything on OR off anywhere near a turntable while recording from it.

In Audition go to options / device order / recording devices move everything but the firewire to unused recording devices make sure the firewire has a [EV} after it If I record anything else, or play back what I have so far of the session, everything is fine, but as soon as I start recording the turntable starting and stopping, the same thing happens.
