EddieTheTrooper Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 So I want to start recording my practices. I want a simple video so for now I chose OBS studio.The problem is that despite I set Line 6 Catalyst as a Mic there is no sound of my guitar while recording. Don't know what I did wrong. Any ideas?

EddieTheTrooper Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 I want to record me playing to some backing tracks in form of video. I know that OBS can record from multiple sources. So I want to play and record my backing track on the PC, play a guitar to that backing track and record it and have a video of it. I don't know is that clear, I wish I payed more attention on English lessons. I don't want to record video and sound separate. What I know OBS is capable of recording video image with my camera, sound from PC and my guitar simultaneously. And it worked some time ago. All I had to do was to set Catalyst as Mic input Looks like something is wrong with OBS. It worked for a while and now again. No guitar input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieTheTrooper Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 Can you recommend some alternatives for OBS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I'll have a look and see if that can be done with OBS. I'm assuming you use Windows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe its my Cats malfunction or something. IT should work that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Check to see that you have the correct Catalyst ASIO driver installed. IF YES THEN: Step 1 - Go into device manager and check the Power Management settings for all of the USB Controllers. Turn OFF "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". Step 2 - Go to this article and follow ALL of the instructions. Don't be thinking "blah blah yadda yadda". Just do it. Windows 11 PC Optimization for Recording | Sweetwater If you're still having problems, then: Go to the Korg website and download the most recent version of the Korg Drive Tools: Downloads | KORG USB-MIDI Driver | KORG (USA) Run the Uninstall tool. It will show all of the MIDI Port assignments. Delete all duplicates and be sure that the drivers you need are loaded under port 10. If your computer has installed the 25H2 update from Microsoft, then you MAY need to roll back to 24H2. Yes, Microsoft screwed up again, and rolling back is their recommendation until they fix the problem. If after rolling back, the drivers are still loaded above port 10, uninstall the Root Hubs (Device Manager), disconnect all your USB devices and RESTART the computer. If you lose your mouse/keyboard and have to manually power cycle, use RESTART after Windows boots. Run the Korg Uninstall tool and reconnect your USB devices starting with the most critical. You'll see which port they're assigned to as you reconnect them. This process should fix the problem. If not... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieTheTrooper Posted February 1 Author Share Posted February 1 Thank you for comprehensive advice. Not sure if I screwed something because Reaper also stopped working. Recently i moved from Win 10 to 11 and I am not sure if Reaper worked under 11 or not. I don't want to mess with the system too much. I will consult this with friend who is good with computers. BTW I noticed that my computer speakers crackle from time to time. It is something new and I wonder if this could be somehow related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Reaper works fine in Win11. Start by following my advice about optimization. That might solve all of your problems, or at least uncover something. Out of curiosity, what processor are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieTheTrooper Posted Tuesday at 05:44 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 05:44 PM OK, I have notcied one thing. I check the driver once more and it looks like this(sorry its not English, but you should understand ): and when go into properties of Digital Audio Interface it shows this: so, it looks like Windows has installed its own driver not that one from Line 6, am I correct?

rd2rk Posted Tuesday at 07:59 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:59 PM Have you performed all of the recommended optimization steps? Do that. If it doesn't fix the problem, then I don't know what to tell you. Contact Microsoft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I've noticed that in Device Manager and in System tab(System>sound>properties) Catalyst has shown different drivers. Look: This is Device Manager tab: And here how i looks in System tab: So I don't understand this.Do I have good drivers or not? Also should I plug Cat directly to USB in computer or can I use hub in my monitor for that purpose. Is there any difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieTheTrooper Posted Friday at 03:55 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 03:55 PM Also I've noticed strange behavior. Sometimes there is a signal from Cat and I can record. I can see signal in mixer and I hear sound on my record, But only for a while anda after it breaks up its dead permanently. No signal at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted Friday at 05:41 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:41 PM What is the Device Manager Path? Device Manager>Sound, video and game controllers>Catalyst 100-112 I don't have a listing for Digital Audio Interface, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieTheTrooper Posted Friday at 05:50 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 05:50 PM It is under the audio input/output device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted Friday at 06:10 PM Share Posted Friday at 06:10 PM I found it in that subheading, and mine is the same as yours, so that is not the problem. Check the Catalyst listing in Sound, video and game controllers. I asked some posts back, what processor are you running, but don't see where you answered. Could be that your processor, if not Intel, is not properly compatible. If it is Intel, try updating all of your Intel and other Motherboard drivers. I'm really just throwing spitballs at the wall to see if anything sticks. Since you're using free SW you probably won't get much support from the publisher but that might be your best bet at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
