      if none of them are working then it’ll be your sound set up on your pc not the software …

      right click the grey speaker icon at the bottom right of your task bar .. all the volume controlls should be there

          thinknig about it .. most programs have ther own built in input/output options that need to be set up .. try looknig through the options/settings menu in your program to see if you need to set that up too 😉

                          i meant what program and what cable from mixer to pc and what inputs you using?

                            at the moment I am using goldwave. 3.5 phono to mini jack cable & the blue input.

                            according to all my volume controls it seems that the problem must lie somewhere within goldwave. I was rushin when i downloaded it and may have made some wrong choices during the installation process.

                            Gonna keep at it and hopefully get it workin asap.

                              are you red lining the mixer? or red lining any of the volume options inbetween the mixer and the program or the program it’s self?

                                  having the gain turned up too much so the meter leds hit the red, always wanna keep below them,

                                  also what output are you using, if your going into the line (blue) input then ideally you want to be coming from a line output on your mixer, often called record out as opposed to a master or amp output, as a line signal isnt amplified in anyway, i think!

                                  perhaps thats why its distorting, basically somewhere down the line the gain is too high causing the signal to overload, or clip as its known.

                                  try turning all the volumes down, including the line in one on the windows record mixer, dont know about goldwave, but usually programs have a meter that will show if everythings too loud, like wavepad, i make it so its just under the red, so the mix sounds clean but not too quiet.

                                  keep at it lol!

                                      go to btjunky and take your pick I personally would get cubase 5 record audio and start making some midi beats. Ableton 7 is really gd aswell but if you just wanna record get yourself recorded use audacity or sonys acid.

                                        after several more attempts at trying goldwave I have decided to give up & try a different software for now,

                                        I have noticed that when I connect my decks to the pc my speakers make an awful high pitched fuzzing noise, thats not right surely?

                                          Should all PC’s come with a sound card or do you have to buy??

                                            almost all come with an onboard soundcard on the motherboard, but you usually need to buy it if you want anything specific or decent

                                              if you can listen to music then you already have a soundcard of some sort. as josh says it will most likely be a mother board one.

                                              that fuzzing is either a shit cable or something making a dodgy connection or ‘looping’ back, similar to feedback from a mic.

                                              are you using decks or cdj’s??

                                              try telling us exactly what youve done, ie phono cable from amp out on mixer to blue line in on pc etc…..

                                              youll get there soon mate!
