Help me---what is session?

What I got from searching is a USB m-audio session microphone. Is that what you refer to? If this is your item then USB and drivers that pertain to that are your most logical area to figure out.

I am not familiar with recording software that goes under the title session.

the software is called M-Audio Session Producer. It comes with a usb mic.
In order for the software to work youhave to plug the usb mic into a usb port, then the drivers are loaded, or thats the way its suppose to work. I have recorder 6 songs before the software stopped working. Mavin

Maybe the mic is flawed and has died?

Have you tried other USB connections, as well as other USB peripherals on the problem computer?

Have try all usb ports which I have 7 on this computer, and a hub which has 7 more ports. this is a new computer. course i have vista on it. every thing has to be new to work and i guess some things that are new still want work with vista. thanks for your reply. Marvin Confused

Maybe you are running too much USB at one time?

Do you use only the USB mic and unplug all other devices when you work?

Space, You can't use anyother divises when you run session producer. You have to turn every thing off in order to run the software. Thanks for your reply . Marvin........Its a huge program Smile

As a point of beginning, if it were my issue, I would unplug every item attached to the computer that runs via usb.

Naturally if a keyboard and/or mouse use usb you would require them to remain plugged in.

After I did all these things then I would plug the mic in and go from there.

This reads like it is an on going concern, something is changing over a period and the software works. Then something changes and it doesn't work again.

As an aside, I do not have vista software nor a usb mic. But I do use windows and I have run a usb device or two Smile

Space thanks for the information. Yes I have unplugged every thing , other then what i need to run windows. Finally called M-audio tecs, waited allmost 2 hours on the phone before they came online. Must not be the only one having problems Surprised

. They told me the only thing I might try is to get a self powered usb card and try it. What do you think about that. Anyway I have contacted HP for a selfpower usb card if they think I need one. You would think the box the software came in would state that you need a selfpower usb port, maybe they forgot to add that little note. Smile

Thanks again for you help, I think you were pretty close for figureing out this problem. Marvin
