Hi all, big time new audio guy here! Super excited to get involved i this journey.
I'm hoping to get pointed in the right direction with configuring Adobe Audition to record several inputs.
Naturally, I'm running into issues.
Here's my setup:
- Heil PR 40 microphone
- Behringer XENYX 1002FX mixer
- Lenovo laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
- Skype calls
- Adobe Audition CC
Here's my desired outcome:
I'm attempting to get things setup for podcast recording (my voice coming through the Heil PR40, a guest's voice coming from Skype, all going through the mixer, and eventually into Adobe Audition (hopefully on different tracks if possible like I see here). Throughout recording, ideally I'd like to be listening in on all of the various sound (microphone, Skype, computer noises) via headphones plugged into the mixer.
Here's my current issue and hypotheses:
By editing the properties of my Windows 7 sound "Recording devices" and "Playback devices" I've been able to get to a spot where I can record either my voice, or separately, what's coming natively from my computer (i.e. computer noises or Skype caller), but, I'm not able to record both, and I cannot do any of this in a "Multitrack session" but rather a "Audio file".
I have to imagine that the issue is largely my Windows 7 sound setup. After searching the web for tutorials, reconfiguring the settings, I don't make incremental progress forward, I take a step back and then one forward perhaps.
I know that Adobe Audition can do what I want, but I'm confused / questioning whether I have the right equipment to make it happen, or, if I do have the right equipment and it's simply a matter of configuring everything correctly?
I do hope that someone in the community has some guidance on this front. Thanks so much!
