recording/signal problem helppp

[360_541]

windows 7
8 gigs ram

focusrite saffire pro 24 firewire

not really sure whats going on... the mic is picking up audio. but alot of static/distortion even with the gain all the way down. mayby its the chain of connection or a driver issue. i dont know. any help would be great.

Update the drivers first then check the buffers in the daw. We used one of these to track guitars on my solo project. Sound quality is very good.

thanks hersey. switching the buffers in the daw got rid of that distortion i was hearing.

so im running head phones out of the interface.. so while recording the playback is only in the right channel? is there a way to fix that?

 

[HERESY]

So while recording the sound is only coming out the right or is this only in playback? In any event, this sounds like a routing issue within the daw. What daw are you using?

i just noticed its not only in 1 channel but the playback sounds panned 80-90 to the right. mayby its the headphone adapter.

when i switch back to my monitor speakers its back to the middle. ive got alot of reading to do probably. right now im messing with reaper... leanin towards picking up studio one or mayby cubase and going from there.

thanks for helping me wit the distortion/latency problem.

It could be the headphone adapter. I know with my sony earphones, if I use the wrong adapter/jack, it sums to the middle and is no longer in stereo. Try a different jack but also make sure your routing in your daw is configured properly. Also, the saffire has its own routing matrix/configuration screen (seperate from the daw) so make sure you check it and make corrections if need be.

No problem on helping you out, fam.
