Original Message 1/12 07-Oct-02 @ 06:32 AM - old synth hum sounding ?
I have an Athlon 650mhz, half a gig of ram, Delta 44, Midiman 2x2, and a dual win98 os....
when i use cakewalk 9.03 to sequence and record my synth...i get a really low level from the synth audio, and a bad hum...
is this the synth? midiman? def not soundcard, but maybe cakewalk...i have no idea !
please help!
thanks,
mike goldberg

Search here on DT incase there's any pre-existing info in one of K's articles, if not try www.pcmus.com as I know Skinah's got some stuff up there..

I had the L/R Audio from My DW-8000 going into the 1/2 Ins on my Delta 44. Sequence with cakewalk and record with SoundForge. I Keep getting errors with SoundForge, and i can't do that anymore...The levels were fine, and there was no hum....I'm thinking maybe it's just cakewalk.
I konw many don't like cakewalk...is this one of the reasons? It can't handle this kind of sequencing and recording.
Another thing i found is that when i sequence with cakewalk (well i've never used anything else) it kind of lags in the beginning and gets faster closer to the end. I only have an athlon 650 so that may be the problem as well...not enough processing power, but i doubt that could be it...
All in All if it is Cakewalk, i'm really getting turned off, and fast! It might just be time to move on to another sequencer.
K, how would i go about testing the leads or the Output socket....
Thank you all for all your help!
Peace,
Mike

You can test the leads by trying different leads.
How are you monitoring the synth now? Do you get the hum/weak output in your recorded audio? Or through a mixer? Try this, if you already haven't.. Hook up the DW to an amplifier of some sort using a cable you know works. If you're going through a mixer to do this, then make sure you know the channel works. Test it by plugging something else in. Does that work properly?

i found 2 of the 4 things that could be wrong....well...not quite but hear this
thru my headphones on my korg...when the volume is really high or really low, it sounds fine. when i put it in the middle ... i hear a really loud hum...
I also hear a clicking noise
I unplug the midi out from my synth and it goes away. I look at my Midiman Midisport 2x2 and there is the IN-A light that flashes. Well the clicking noise is sequenced to that flash.
What all this means i don't know, but i hope my synth isn't dying or have to get a new midi interface. I love my korg and i can't afford another.
ok...i give up...what the hell is a lead?
tahnks & peace,
mike

the synth is old...its seen its years....
Every once and a while the arpeggiator gets stuck or a key sticks, but other than that i've never had problems.
The click is in sequence with the light...not the sequencer.... it's liek that when the computer is in my non-audio boot .... hence the dual boot win98.
i have no idea what to do...i love my synth! Please don't die!
peace,
mike
