Each MIDI device should be set to a unique MIDI channel or range of
channels to avoid note-doubling. Refer to the manuals for your MIDI
devices for information on how to set their MIDI channels.
If your master keyboard now seems to double notes (they sound thicker),
or if you can play only one half as many at once, Þrst make sure that no
MIDI channel is being used by more than one of your MIDI devices. If no
MIDI channel is assigned to duplicate devices and you hear doubling or
only half as many notes as you should, see ÒMy Keyboard Doubles Every
Note I PlayÓ on page A-5.
Step 6. Configure Your Audio Hardware
Before running Pro Audio, you should ensure that Pro Audio knows the
capabilities of your audio hardware. How you do this depends upon the
kind of digital audio hardware you have.
To use the audio features of Pro Audio, you must have a 16-bit or greater
sound card: up to 24-bit. Older, 8-bit sound cards cannot take advantage
of Pro AudioÕs features.
The Þrst time you start Pro Audio, it will automatically run the Wave
ProÞler utility. Wave ProÞler determines the proper settings for your
sound card and writes them to a Þle that Pro Audio consults to use the
card. The Wave ProÞler is discussed later in the appendix. To Þnd out if
your sound card is compatible with Pro Audio, check the sound cardÕs
documentation.
Step 7. Set Up to Record Digital Audio
In general, the inputs of sound cards take 1/8Ó stereo minijacks. Sound
cards usually have two inputsÑone for line level inputs and the other for
microphones (at mic level). The line level input is stereo; the mic input
could be either stereo or mono. If your Þnal output does not terminate in
a 1/8Ó jack (and it probably doesnÕt), you will need an adapter to plug it
into your sound card.
Most sound cards use the Windows Volume Control to adjust the master
input and output volumes and to control which recording inputs are
active. If you donÕt hear audio tracks, or if you canÕt easily control the
audio volume in Pro Audio, go to Start-Accessories-Volume Control
and check the settings there. See your sound cardÕs documentation for
more.
