Greetings,
I had all things working well until my windows xp crashed last week. I reformatted the HD and all is reloaded and etc. I cannot record any songs on Stero Mix, I have to record on Mic ......... Ran the wizard and all the rest but it acts like my computer switched the stero mix for the mic. :( Frustration!!! I can only hear the music out of my headset when I record but cannot hear my voice as I sing it so I am flying blind on that one. Also my mic records my voice but I hear nothing that I used to hear that the mic was engaged and hearing myself record. I know it is some one thing I forgot to check but have been into control panel and set the mic off and stero mix only but then all u can hear is the music and nothing records. Any clues what I am doing wrong........

Stereo mix gives me only music no voice and Mic gives me voice and no music for recording.........reverse of what it should be.

Any guru's out there with any hints? :)

Tks
MaryLu

when I record a song I can hear the music while recording but playback there is nothing , and I'm about to give up , which sucks because I like this webpage , but if I can't sing what's the use
LadyMatika

I am having the same problem! What to do ?

Reply by Gomem

Connielynne3. Have you tried 'enable music' option in the playback review window you get after doing the recording ?

Reply by kywildkatt

Paperbagprincess, the WAVE setting in also labeled "What I Hear" or "WAVE out" or "Stereo Mix" on some computers. This particular setting is in the recording settings on your volume control. To record here on singsnap, you need to have that checked when you start to record. It sounds like your "input" is set for mic and that is why you are not getting the music as a backing track. peachygurl

My computer don't have a stereo mix option in recording control but it does have a wave out mix is that the same thing?

Hi there I have an issue. I followed your first visit on here and all is understood with the options window and the dropping of the properties first the playback button then the recording button,my problem is that it will now give me the option for the propeties to drop and clik on record. so I have only a playback option and when I go to record a song it simple says connection failure.. it will allow the song to play on play button but not to record my version..do you have an answer for this cause i have been in my control panel and cant seem to figure this one out..

thanks sharon

Hi. I have a problem too. I am using Windows Media Center Edition. I'm the only person I know that has this version of windows. The ONLY way I'm able to record is to hook up my old computer, which has xp home edition on it. The volume/record/playback panels aren't the same on Media Center Edition. I've had to hang onto my old computer for 2 years now because nobody knows anything about this Media Center Edition. Not Windows ME. It's MCE. Media CENTER Edition. If anyone can help me out, so I can use this computer, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

I hope someone can help me, I had to move my PC, and so had to unplug everything. I was on here this AM, and was working fine. I'm entered in a contest, and they opened up a chat, so when I went into the chat, my songs couldn't be heard, but, they could hear when I played pre-records! I do not understand what happened, everything is plugged into the right places, yet I can't record anymore!

PLease help!
I have been on the site for quite some time, so I know how the stuff on site works, and ran set-up over and everything. Someone in the chat room for my contest tried to help me and it still wouldn't work!
And, I consider myself pretty computer savvy.
I'm only running a Headphone/mic set, so I know it shouldn't be a problem!!!
It's not like I have a more elaborate setup here!

PLEASE PLEASE help!

Daniel,

The iPhone (and the new IPad) does not support Adobe Flash which recording and playback from SingSnap is based upon.

However, every indication is that Windows Mobile 7, to be released this spring will support Adobe Flash and if so, that should mean Snap will work on Smart Phones with Windows Mobile 7! T-Mobile may the first to offer this functionality .

The reason why Apple for the unforeseeable future will not support Adobe Flash on their iPhone and iPad is that to offer this functionality could allow utilization of apps that could complete with iTunes :D

Using the mic on your computer doesn't give you good sound. It picks up all of the noise from the computers fans.
You need a microphone that plugs into the sound card. You sound card is usually located on the back of your computer and has either 3 or 4 openings in it to place your microphone in, or an external mixer etc.
One wire to hear your voice the other plug to hear the music. (located on the mic)
I am including a link that may help you out here.
You can choose which ever windows program you are running and set up your system that way
Good luck
Bonnie

Also On the Volumn CoNtrol, what is SW synth .???? HELP AND THANKS Catseyes66

Edited reply by SimplyBabetteGOLD

hi catseye when you are in the preview if you notice the top right there is a light blinking red green yellow it is calculating the recording and it will make it sound like it is skipping but the finished product should not sound that way so go ahead and save it and see if it s clear then ?
it is just calculating like i said so perhaps this is what you are hearing?? let us know thanks ,
