I thought I replied to this on Saturday, but it seems to have not gone through! My AWE 64 doesn't have enough sample memory to handle your test Soundfont, but I can run it on my SB Live CT4670 if you still need some test output from that card. 😀

That would be awesome, MadMac! Thank you kindly 😁

Yeah, I should have mentioned that the test would require an AWE32/64 with at least 2 MB of sample RAM.

Peace 😀

I managed to record the sound on a separate sound device using direct line-level capture from my CT4760. I wasn't able to map the Reverb in the MIDI tab of the AudioHQ panel, but I was able to run with Chorus enabled on CC 93 and with it set to 100% in the Environmental Audio tab. The linked file is in FLAC format and I haven't applied any amplification to it so you can process the file as desired. You can download the file from my Google Drive at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rKxa7pJi0ijl … iew?usp=sharing.

Let me know if you need anything else!

Thanks for the recording, MadMac! It's weird that you weren't able to get Reverb working, but I vaguely remember the reverb being unconfigurable in AudioHQ, but still working. I'm not sure if this helps, but here are the instructions I had included with an old GeneralUser GS version that resulted in ideal reverb and chorus settings for Sound Blaster Live!:

1. Open up EAX Control Panel (via AudioHQ or otherwise).

2. Make sure the "Master" tab is selected.

3. Select "ENV" from the first drop-down menu under "Audio Effects" (if applicable).

4. Select "Concert Hall" from the second drop-down menu under "Audio Effects".

5. In the effect type window, click on "Reverb".

6. Using the slider at the bottom of the screen, set the reverb amount to -6.0 dB (or 80% on older drivers).

7. In the effect type window, click on "Chorus".

8. Using the slider at the bottom of the screen, set the chorus amount to -6.0 dB (or 80% on older drivers).

9. Select the "Source" tab, and remove the reverb and chorus from any source that you don't want to be effected such as "Wave/MP3" or "CD Digital" (do this by selecting each menu option and dragging the reverb and chorus sliders all the way to the left). If you don't do this, your normal wave and music playback will sound echo-ey. Do not drag the sliders to the left for the "MIDI" menu option, if it shows up on your system.

10. Highlight "Concert Hall" from the second drop-down menu, and type in the new name: "MIDI Playback".

11. Click the little disk icon to the right to save the preset.

If this gets the reverb working and you're willing to make a new recording, I would find it quite useful.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the tips! I'll give it a try later this coming week; tomorrow looks to be extremely busy, but this should be easy enough to get a recording from. Thankfully since I change the settings back to no reverb/chorus after I am done recording, I don't need to worry about only applying the effects to MIDI sources. 😀

Hi MadMac, did you ever have success recording the test on your Live!
