Poor quality recording onto music maker from midi-keyboard controller

wagstar wrote on 5/2/2015, 1:31 AM

I have Magix Music Maker Premium 2014 (Download version) it can sometimes take up to 8 or 9 takes to record a bit of synth or trumpet onto the music maker without there being any static or just damn right horrible blip noises generated when the record button is pressed. It also lags quite badly when the record button is pressed too. I'm using an old PC (Win 7) could it be that the sound card just isn't good enough to process the data? The Midi-keyboard controller is only a few weeks old and is a Korg NanoKEY 2.

Is there an optimum PC Spec that would sort these little annoying bits and pieces out, as I'm finding it' very frustrating and it's taking forever just to get one song done! 

Anyone who is able to help i will be truly grateful. Thank you.

Hi,

Which driver are you using?

If you are using one of the drivers that came with Music Maker, then download and install ASIO4ALL from the Internet and select it. It should reduce latency to almost none.

See if there is any improvement and let us know.

Intsalled the recommended driver and it did improve the responsiveness of it thank you. Pressing the settings function, then select "Audio/MIDI" then click "Advanced" under the driver title i get a little box appear telling me what my audio is called in my case it says "Realtek HD Audio output" but it has a big red "X" through it which means i can't hear what I'm playing! I can't seem to find a way around this, so that i can hear what I'm recording.
