Trouble Shooting for Midi2Wav Recorder
1. I get no sound on playback after recording.
It means that silence is recorded in the WAV file (the average volume is less than -80 dB).
If Built-In Mixer is used but recording is not tested you should test the recording first.
If Midi2Wav Recorder can not record any MIDI sound using Built-In Mixer then you should adjust your sound card mixer yourself.
To do that, please follow the instructions listed below:
1. Open menu Selecting Devices and Test Recording, select the first MIDI Output and Wave Input devices in the drop-down lists. Press Select Devices button.
2. Uncheck Use Built-In Mixer item.
3. Open Windows Volume Control Mixer or double click the speaker icon in the tray. The tray is the clock area of your Windows computer.
4. In Volume Control dialog check the Mute check-box for Microphone sliders
5. In Volume Control dialog select Options and Properties. Click Recording. Then check all check-boxes in Show the following volume controls list. Press OK.
6. Along the bottom of Recording Control dialog will be Select check-boxes. Uncheck all of them if it is possible or check the left one.

10. Check the left Select check-box in Recording Control mixer, then the next one and so on, until a wave signal appears in Midi2Wav window .
11. Close Mixer window. Now you can use Midi2Wav Recorder.
2. My recorded Wav file is too soft.
-- The recording is too soft
If the recording seems too soft, increase the MIDI playback volume with the MIDI Vol slider.
If the MIDI Vol slider is set to maximum, increase the record level with the Rec Level slider(s).
Repeat recording.
3. The recording is too loud.
If the recording seems too load (without clipping), reduce MIDI playback volume and repeat recording.
4. Statistics field includes Clipping warning.
Reduce record level with Rec Level slider(s) and repeat recording.
If you need to reduce the rec level beneath the middle of slider range, try to avoid clipping by reducing the MIDI playback volume with MIDI Vol slider.
5. Distortion of recorded melody, clicks, pops.
Check the clipping warning. If the Statistic field contain this warning, see previous item.
Otherwise, it's possible the free resources of your system are not enough for full-featured operating.
In this case try to disable visual controls option and repeat recording.

6. My MIDI-Out (Wave-In) device cannot be opened.
The MIDI Output Device is already in use or The Wave Input Device is already in use.
Make sure another application do not use specified device.
Some sound cards use Wave Synthesis for playing MIDI. In this case you'll receive the message that another device is already playing WAVE.
In this case, select another MIDI Output device and try again.
If it is not possible, select another Wave Input device and try again.
7/8. Mic record checkbox is disabled.

2. Select Properties from the Options menu in the mixer and click on the Recording button in the "Adjust volume for..." box. Then check the mic in “Show the following volume controls “ list, and click OK
