1) what are you trying to record?

2) what is your setup...ie your gear.

KORG KARMA adn im trying to record the tune on the sequencer of the Karma into tracks in ableton to move from hardware to software
but as i said i got distortion plus everything that made the sound crappy

ok...but what is your recording interface? your a/d converters?

im not familiar with the karma, but that's just a synth right?

yeah its a synth without usb
my card is.. well I have 2 choices the live 5.1
and the card that came with the mother board this Realteck bla bla AC97
and believe it or not i had less distortion with the on board sound device

ok so like...you are recording with 1/8 inputs??? or what...check the levels of the input on your computer's sound card mixer.

ohh now im lost lol
I have 2 input in the audio setup I can only see two one mono and one stereo
is this the right answer?

lol...

ok...i mean what kind of input jacks are they? are they the standard "cd player/headphone" type jacks, or are they 1/4"...like the ones you use for keyboards and guitars?

and did you check your computers soundcard mixer input level?

ooh ok now I understand somehow
I have input like mic - cd payer - line in - speakers .. they are standards its a creative Sound blaster card my friend
but i think the Line in is the right input and yeah before i forget i have to make the volume max in the synth as its broken and it only works max so even when i make the line in min i get also distortion.
there has to be a way to control this but i dont know

ok well you need to use periods when you construct sentences so i can understand you better.

anyway...if you have not done so already...

go to control panels>sounds audio devices>audio tab>volume...

and a little mixer should pop up...fiddle with your "line in" fader...

i hope this helps...

oh and also...if your synth has to be turned up to max volume...that might be a big problem and you'd have to get that fixed if you wanted to record without distortion...but i think you maybe able to fix that with the "line in" fader...

thanx dude i will try this and tell u later 2day
but.. my English is so baad lol well I will train on this lol
thanks man for trying to help i will try and tell u
