Music Maker 2014 ASIO4All and Microphone help

I have asked this question before and have been helped a little, now that I have played around a little more, I can better explain my current problem.

I am working with a Windows 8 computer and I am using Music Maker 2014. I have a USB Yet microphone that I want to use.

I set up my microphone and my computer is reading it fine. ASIO4ALL however is not. I have gone to the program setting and then clicked on the Audio/MIDI tab and chose Wave driver (16bit). When I do that, go back to my song and press record, it shows that it is recording, I talk and it reads I am saying something, however, I dont hear the music. If i go back to the settings, and go back to ASIO4ALL in the Audio/MIDI playback settings, then I hear everything.

What I want, is to be able to hear the music while I am recording vocals.

I have done a few things to see if it would help any:

-tested the mic

-updated ASIO4ALL

-under the Audio Driver, I swtiched my multitrack size to 1024 ( I dont know if that makes a difference or not. I have been doing a lot of reading to fix this)

- on the bottom right i clicked on the ASIO4ALL icon and this is what it is showing me about the microphone.

Thank you for the help. I am new to Music Maker Premium.

Hi,

You have to use headphones or you will get feedback. I think that your Yeti mic has a headphone input. You have to use it to monitor what you are recording, and you have to use the ASIO driver, either one that came with the mic or ASIO4ALL. You will also be able to monitor anything that is playing back while you are recording and hear yourself.

Did you try this?

To Playback while recording please try to open Audio Recording tab by clickin "R" key on computer and select Playback while recording. You can refer screen shot from MMM 16 Premium. In your version I am sure there should be some thing similar.

Nihon94,

When I read your PDF, It said I needed to make the microphone the default device. I couldn't do it from the control panel, I had to do it under Realtek HD Audio manager.

Thank you again for your help!
