Decent Equipment crappy sound, your help is appreciated
Hello everyone i need your input here
i consider myself as a decent composer,with great ideas,first i was recording out of my Basic laptop Celeron cpu,bad idea,so now ive got
the Core duo 2 Cpu,2.4GHZ,WITH 2gb ram and now purchased the Audigy 2 soundcard ...and I'm recording using acid pro 7.0
i got some real good sound patches for very realistic sounds
Great Violins Piano VST etc
sound comes via midi from a $500 dollar 88key Digital piano connected to the midi input from my pc,(not to the audigy)
what happens is that i get real crappy sound when i try to render..
i was even getting better sound out of my celeron laptop that what i have now
just wondering what it could be...I'm running the Asio Audigy drivers at 48/16
the rendered audio sounds like a regular radio stereo
i know i dont have the best soundcard out there but i was hoping i could get some decent recordings considering for what i have heard on other people using the audigy sc.

Just a shot in the dark here but maybe you should try running your audio at 44.1/16 instead of 48. I think when you render a song, the sample rate might have some problems w/ the correct sound you are looking to achieve. Just a quick thought to throw out there...?

I presume 'render' is Acid Pro's term for 'bounce' - taking your multitrack composition and producing a final 2-track stereo mix. If so then yes its possibly the resampling - define crappy sound though? Or better try doing this without a sample rate change i.e. 44.1/16 throughout and let us know how you get on?

Do you have the option to change the sample rate in Audigy. From what I understand its default sample rate is 48k. Not a very good card for recording. An m-audio audiophile card might have been a better choice. Sometime you can get a good deal on craiglist.

This article is Way old in the ways of computer years(minutes), but actually still it does explain much about this sound card. There is some info here that makes sense to the discussion on this thread. It seems to me that the bugs are causing the problems w/ this piece of hardware(or drivers?), and there has got to be a way to render "bounce" the track down to 44.1khz/16bit cd standard format. If the original poster would at least follow up then maybe this would be interesting to us goofs here that like to read.???
Are you using computer speakers to make mix or EQ decisions?
