I'm not familiar with Audition, but somewhere in Audition or on your
soundcard's software you should be able to set it up to "Direct Monitor" the incoming signal....which basically means it routes the input of your soundcard directly back to the output before it goes off to the comp....look for audio setup, or ASIO setup or something along those lines. Good luck! -- Jonny Durango "Patrick was a saint. I ain't." http://www.jdurango.com wrote in message oups.com... Hi, I just wanted some advice on monitoring an input signal when recording. My setup is: INPUT: Guitar - Tascam US-122 - (USB) - Adobe Audition 1.5 OUTPUT: Adobe Audition 1.5 - Soundcard - Headphones I had (naively?) expected to be able to monitor the input signal being recorded with the headphones in the above setup. However when recording, I can hear the previously recorded tracks but not the new one I'm recording. Do I just need to configure Audition to play the recorded signal? Or am I asking the impossible? If the latter, is the correct approach to buy a mixer and mix the soundcard output with the direct monitoring output of the Tascam? Thanks for your help, Jeste. |

[Newbie] Monitoring input signal
Hi,
I just wanted some advice on monitoring an input signal when recording. My setup is: INPUT: Guitar - Tascam US-122 - (USB) - Adobe Audition 1.5 OUTPUT: Adobe Audition 1.5 - Soundcard - Headphones I had (naively?) expected to be able to monitor the input signal being recorded with the headphones in the above setup. However when recording, I can hear the previously recorded tracks but not the new one I'm recording. Do I just need to configure Audition to play the recorded signal? Or am I asking the impossible? If the latter, is the correct approach to buy a mixer and mix the soundcard output with the direct monitoring output of the Tascam? Thanks for your help, Jeste. |

In article writes: Thanks for the response. However, using the direct monitor of the US-122 will mean that I can only hear the signal being recorded. I really would like to hear a mix of the signal being recorded and the previously recorded tracks. Nope, this is exactly what's so nifty about the US-122. There's a built-in mixer that mixes the direct input signal with a stereo mix coming back from your computer. You need to set your DAW program up so that you have a mix of the recorded tracks, and assign that mix to the US-122 output. When working like this, you need to be sure that the track that you're recording is muted in the computer mix so you don't hear it twice, once through the direct path and once through the computer's mixer. I understand that I can buy a mixer and mix the soundcard output with the Direct Monitor output to get what I want You've already got one in the US-122. I reviewed the US-122 in the December 2003 issue of Recording Magazine. It's not on line, but you might want to invest $5 in the back issue and read my review. I drew a block diagram (TASCAM doesn't publish one) that shows how this monitoring works, and explained it in more detail than I want to in a newsgroup.
