02 Waveform Quick Start - First Recording

[AvineshKamath]

This has to be the best free DAW there ever was/is. It is LOADED with features and very intuitive / user-friendly. And thanks to these tutorials I have been able to start making music in no time! Thank you Tracktion I just made my first 2 songs in the last few days. They don't sound amazing (need work on mixing and mastering) but one has to start somewhere!

I love this software. It's perfect for musical people who want simplicity.

Can we just appreciate the guitar skills he got?

I have a AKG P120 and the Behringer UM2. Everything is plugged in. I have my headset which is plugged into the PC directly. I divided in and output and have it set to "Windows Audio". I can't plug in my headset into the interface otherwise I would plug it into the interface aswell. I selected and input ("Input Channel 1") on "Track 1". The volume bar reacts but I can't hear myself talking nor can I start recording

Thanks for the clear tutorial. I would like a mind like your involved in writing the manual, which focuses on the what and not the how that reduces it to mere advertising. Well done!

[tanmaymandal.]

what is the home or halt button he is talking about in 3:28 and 3:29 ?

[mauroos]

The volume of my mic is so low when I record. The settings on my interface are right. How can I change this in waveform?

I have the original version of Traction released back in 1910 when Henry Ford owned the company. I'm trying to get my new Yamaha keyboard to show up on a record, so I can record it to a track. So far, after going through all the steps to add my midi device, I have the input VU meter on the track that shows it's getting the input, but when I hit the START RECORD button, everything stops, and there's no recording of said track. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've watched a bunch of videos, and nothing covers this type of stuff. Any suggestions on this?

[ueahere]

Great informative video!
Can you tell us how to set the gain before recording so that there is no clipping?
Thanks,

[varun-rm]

Another error - I am adding the track, but when click on play button, i cannot listen the output of the track on my speakers.

I have a question. I have waveform 12 pro and I've tried to record an audio clip with my microphone. I can hear the live input monitoring, however when I try to record and playback my audio I hear nothing. Any tips?

[karamramnunan]

Thank you for your great advice and training. I was successful in most of the stuff. However, when i record, only one tone like Piano is coming thru, cant get any other sounds to record, all stays on piano. how do i change this to different sounds?

[chadbaker]

Can someone help? I am a rapper so one track is vocals and one is the beat! How can i make my voice sound more crisp and also when I try to render and export to an mp3 it only downloads the beat???

[redbirdsaraceno]

When i load an instrument its shows the signal bar moving when i press my midi keyboard but there is no sound coming out, what do i need to do to hear it ?

[nojukuramu]

I want to hear my own voice while recording. Is it possible?

[Kitty-AliceFrenchpiano]

Hi there, firstly thank you for making such an in depth tutorial, it's really helpful! I have one question though; I downloaded Waveform onto my iMac originally (I bought an interface and I think I had a code for Waveform with it-possibly a license?) and this Waveform programme came with a ton of sample sounds. I just got a MacBook Air and downloaded Waveform on to my MacBook, but I have no sound samples! Can someone help me work out why?

[logansweeney]

After I recorded, I saw the waves in the track but when replaying I can’t here any audio. Idk what to do.

[silencedogood]

Why cant I hear playback after recording? I can see a waveform but when i play the track im not getting sound

[shananarocks]

I plugged my Casio psx3100 into my PC hoping to use the "Upright Piano" vst pluggin after installing Waveform Free 13. However I only hear my own Casio piano sound and not the "Upright Piano" sound I was hoping for. To play the "Upright Piano" sound, I have to use the virtual keyboard on my computer screen. What am I doing wrong?

[JanicasJourney]

Hi, I'm very frustrated. Is there no way to record vocals? My microphone is set up, my headphones are set up. I did the test thing. It shows the green bar going up and down when I speak, but when I record, there is no wave formation for my voice and no sound? What am I doing wrong. Thank you.
