It's Thanksgiving here and we'll shortly be heading out to a relative's for dinner (early dinner, but dinner nevertheless). And it reminds me that

daisy_knotwise and I are thankful for having survived the last year of health problems, that we have a good place to live, and good friends.

And a daughter who's now having her second Thanksgiving.

Not too shabby.

Will Katie get a turkey drumstick to gnaw on? That's traditional for the babies in my family. Make sure a camera is handy.

She didn't seem too thrilled by the turkey today. I think she's waiting for molars...

Or maybe she was holding out for pumpking pie?

My 18-month-old great-nephew evaded the issue by sleeping through dinner; thus giving his mother one more thing to be grateful for.

Have a happy Thanksgiving!!! I am busy struggling with Cubase and M-Audio Board to allow me to record through the boards inputs but it is not working :-\ Did I tell you I hate computers and software :-P I will keep poking at it!!

Thanks!

As far as the board goes, I think it's a matter of mapping the inputs correctly. You also need to make sure the board is configured for Cubase, but I suspect you've already done that.

If push comes to shove, call me next week, I'll pull out my board, hook it up and we can walk through it until we both have sound. :)

Hi Bill,
I spent most of yesterday poking aroung with CuBase and the M-Audio Board software and got everything to work. I recorded a bass track and it sounded good through the head phones when I was recording it but on play back throught the head phones plugged in to the M-Audio Board I am hearing crackling noises. I had to pull the trim back to minimal in order for it to not clip when recording so it doesn't appear to be clipping. Any suggestions here? I am going to try my acoustic bass next and a different guitar cord to see if that is the problem. I know bass is difficult to record and maybe I need to run it through compression first. Thanks for the help Bill.
