Hi Brett, depending on what you have to spend, look at the range of delta cards. From the audiophile 2496, which is very affordable, to the delta 1010. I personally have a delta 1010LT and it's fantastic for multi track recording etc. Just a thought, just depends on available cash, how many

High Marvin, I don't know about the store that you mentioned, but you can get CD's that are made for burning audio files from Walmart. The Maxwell discs, will cost you about $16.95 for a pack of 10. The Memberex discs will run you about $14.95 for a pack of 12. The SONY discs will run you about

hello, a few things to consider, you want to use duplication grade cd-rs. there higher quality then what stores offer. and also your burner you want to check its firmware to make sure you have the latest installed. the firmware of the drive and blank media type can make a big difference. re-wr

Hi Marv: A couple of things I saw mentioned on list. In Media Player make sure you have the burn options set to music. Also, I am not sure about how you do it but I think they need to be, perhaps not, mp3 format and I do not know how to set that if it is not already set. Another thing, check you

That is USB, isn't it? How is the latency with soft synths? That model goes back to at least 2005. Don't know what they have now. I just Googled it. Looks like they have a Cakewalk branded version now. I also thought about getting an Edirol. A friend has the FA-66 which sounds great but h

The best I've been able to use is the SRS WOW! built in to Windows Media Player. I find it works best on the large speakers setting. The headphone setting sounds filtered and closed in to me. SRS has Windows software but the demo wasn't to Jaws friendly. I believe they also have hardware. A

Hi guys, Have you guys tried the software versions of the Prophit 5, Minimoog or CS-80? How accessible are the software synths? I'm using window-eyes 7.11. For a sighted user, the software synth recreates the front pannel of the hardware synthesizer on the screen. You can twiddle with the

High Rick, You can't burn a CD in MP3 format in Windows Media Player. But you can rip a music disc to MP3 in Windows Media Player. Marvin has an older boom box, you are correct, older CD players will not play rewritable CD's. But they can play CDR's. Those files will need to be converted to wave

Yes, I think it can be done. First, you'll need to go into WMP and configure it not to automatically rip the whole CD. Next, when you insert a CD and bring up WMP, you can go into the CD ripping view and just select the tracks you want to rip. I'm doing this from memory, but I'm fairly certain it c

High Tom, I have run in to the same problem that you're having over and over again. To tell you the truth, I don't really think that can be done. When your computer is ripping a CD, it is using Windows Media Player to do it. I am told that you can use Winamp to rip a CD one track at a time, but I

I'd still ask for my money back if I were you. You could still claim it's defective. It would give you a chance to let Creative know their product is inaccessible. You'd also have nothing to lose. -- Christopher chalt...@gmail.com -Original Message- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.or

I have a possible solution. There is no guarantee this will work. It did work for me but I wasn't expecting it. It might not work for your card as it is newer and has different software. I hope it does have the basic tone controls like mine has or this won't do you any good at all. I think
