Ok, sorry, from the Privacy screencap. Understood. That would have been from the Steinberg Driver. Settings I would have used at this time are below, but now we have some movement…!
This is RODE NT-USB 1:
I have the same settings that were used yesterday but now there is some sound!
So solved? Have you confirmed it records ok?
But I can’t hear what I’ve recorded on playback.
I can only monitor when recording, when my headphones are plugged directly into the mic. When they are plugged into the laptop, I’m unable to monitor what I’m recording. On playback I can’t hear though either option.
Then you need to set up outputs to whatever you want to use for playback
Ok I think I’m sorted, the Steinberg driver had selected my RODE NT-USB as a speaker, I’ve obviously switched that the headphones. And I need to turn off monitoring for playback!?
Yup…sounds like you got there.
The downside is that the latency of that driver is pretty high but if you monitor using the NT headphone out while recording it will be direct so no (or minimal) latency
Yes, I think I’m far enough along to progress to the next stage anyway. A result at last. Thanks so much for your help!! Thought I was paying the drawing board another visit!!
Also, with headphones plugged into the laptap, and outputs set accordingly, I can monitor recordings and hear playback , but it there’s some latency when recording.
It works best when I plus directly into the mic for monitoring and then switch to computer for playback, which obviously isn’t ideal.
This is the issue with needing to aggregate different audio devices on windows.
You could probably get a slightly lower latency using ASIO4all than the Steinberg driver that’s fixed at 30ms.
For any serious recording work an audio interface with it’s own asio driver, direct monitoring and non usb mic are the recommendation.
