Output to "ASIO". Played with a recording for hours but couldn't get any playback sound. Switched to ASIO and that did it. This is the only video that showed that. Thanks.

I just downloaded Waveform to use with my Tascam Model 12. I got it to recognize the Model 12 but it's only showing 2 in and 2 out. I was hoping to see 8 in and 8 out. Just started going through it last night and then I was getting tired and decided to hang it up and tackle it today sometime between running errands and chores on my day off. I bought Beringer studio mons and that came with the OEM offer. Currently using it on my 2011 iMac but also will be putting it on my 2020 HP gaming laptop running an AMD Ryzen 5 chip.
I'm excited to use Waveform. Back in 2001 I used Samplitude to record an album and it worked surprisingly well given there was Protocols, Cakewalk etc back then also. I often find using these lesser known but well written DAW software provides just as good, if not better results than the popular well known brands.

Hello I'm not sure to have understood. I've the mackie profx16v3. On the track 3 the microphone and on 15-16 the computer. What the combination of 1-2, 3-4, LR or solo buttons that i need to press on the two tarcks and sub 1-2 to listen the computer and the microphone through the headphones but recording the microphone only? Thankyou very much

[iandelgado]

Thank you very much for the info.
I just got a Mackie profx 10 with that software.
I like your mixer table. Brilliant.

Can you record the track on the computer, volume and eq with the knobs on the mixer. Example if I have all my tracks on the computer, can I adjust the volume on one channel and the software reacts the same?. Does the software functions simultaneously with the mixer. Turn up one channel on mixer, does it show on the software?

Bro, I notice the levels on your Mackie mixer (main meters) do not go very high. The same with mine. Did you ever investigate why?I thought mine was busted...

I have to drive the gain so hard to get them anywhere near peaking. Very strange

Hello Bro Please Help Me, I Have No Use Any Audio Mixer Aur Device In This Purpose. I Have Purchased Mackie profx12v3, How To Use Bro

[BillyBlaze]

I use a super old version of what is now called Waveform, what I have is Trackttion T4, if you wanna hear some recordings ive done using it check out the songs "Something" and "Behind", on my YT channel. I LOVE the software because 1st you can get the last version of the software for FREE, 2nd it actually teaches you how to use it as you use it. 3rd, it has everything you need to see and use one one page! 4th, it sounds incredible and is easy to use and accepts VST's with ease. I am about to order the same mixer except the new v3+ one

[maserrano]

Nice video. I have the Mackie ProFX12v3+, but I wonder if I also need an audio interface to hear the audio. If so, how many inputs/outputs are needed to record a band?

[coldhands]

Literally just got the Mackie profx12v3 and I'm so glad I found a video that isn't super long. Just started hope it helps..
How do you like the Mackie pro12v3? It's my first mixer but from all the reviews I've seen and what it can do it seems amazing especially for the relatively cheap price.
Problem:
When I put ASIO as my audio device type, I get NONE of that under it..

[nycugz]

Thank you for the video! My only question....is it possible to record multiple tracks simultaneously? Basically, instruments are plugged into 3-6 (mono) and 9-10 (stereo) on my pro16v3. I'm looking to get them all to record at the same time, but so far I have not seen a guide (even from Mackie) explaining how this can be done.

Why not to press the LR in 11 12 channel?

[Nitishkumar-xrhk]

You speak for dj mixer compitition better thinking me please sir ? Brand which better aprove sir you thing better me ?

[edwinflores]

disable analog 1 and 2 output what is that..

[Niccks]

Does this mixer record all tracks separately? I'm in a band and we need a mixer and an audio interface at the same time. Does it fit well in your opinion ? I was thinking about buying the ZOOM LiveTrak L12, but I also find interesting the TASCAM Model 12.

[JoeyOuso]

Can you connect it into regular ProTools

[jevontethemusician]

It just wouldn't connect to my pc... i click 3-4 etc... opened up waveform and no profx😔

You’ll thank yourself in the future not getting a Mac. I promise.
