So this has happend to me twice. I start recording a mix and then for some reason when im done with the recording and naming it and designating it on a file. for some reason nothing records unless im not using any records or cd's. why is that? this has happened to me 2 times so far. can anyone help me or am i missing a step.

how are you set up to record, external mixer mode will not record the mix,because it not routed back throught the software (final mix),a little bit more info as to how you are set when its not recording

With the way Cross is designed, you can't record your mixes within Cross itself like you could in Mixvibes DVS. If you want to record your mixes and you have an extra USB port, You could by a Behringer UCA202 for about $35 and use either a DAW such as Live, Cubase, Reaper, etc. if you have one, or use Audacity which is free. Connect the booth out from the mixer to the UCA202, hit record on your program (the ones I mentioned), and mix away.

I used this method for one of my productions and it worked.

Just a thought.

EDIT: An oversight on my part, you can by an RCA to 3.5mm cable, connect it to the LINE IN of your laptop and use Audacity as suggested by j-kut in another thread.

To make things clear:

If you use the in-built mixer interface in Cross (Dual stereo mode), you can record the master output within Cross.
This records stuff inside the software, right before the data is routed out to the soundcard, so even if the soundcard is glitching the record should be flawless.
Using this, you don't need any record devices, Cross handels it, and saves it. You can check the Preferences/ Record tab to see the format and the filepath.


In External-Mixer mode, you mix with a mixer connected to a soundcard, so you need to record your Mixer's output, you can't record using Cross.
YOu need a recording device. I suggest to youse a standalone recorder (American Audio Pocket Record), so it won't use performance on your PC, and because they are battery powered, the eliminate most of the noise.

For internal recording in Cross, you can use a controller, and timecode devices but the key thing mentioned above, is to use the mixer inside Cross.
