Product images vary; Which product will I receive? As of noon on 04Mar2011, the images shown for this product are of two different devices. Has anyone ordered this exact item here at Amazon, and if so, which device did they receive? The one shown in the first pic looks like an old model.Update 10May2011: Seems like Amazon updated the images to reflect the latest version of the product. I ordered and received it in mid-March '11, and the one pictured now is the one I received, so I'm happy.The device installed with no problem and has worked fine for me under 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, with my trusty old Cubase VST 5.1 software. The delay (latency) time is decent for this low-cost audio interface; about 13 milliseconds. I also tested this unit with Audacity software (it's free) and the included Pro Tools LE, and it works equally well with those applications. No complaints so far. :) Product images vary; Which product will I receive? As of noon on 04Mar2011, the images shown for this product are of two different devices.

This is the route that I chose upon whenever I had queries beforehand. However, I shall say this... once you get everything together, you shall be one HAPPY customer. Trust me on this. Good Luck. WM

I would say contact customer service but the line is perpetually down. Is the music in the correct format? Is the device showing up in "My Computer" (assuming you use Windows)? Which program are you using to sync files, if any?I would really advise you to ship it back to Amazon and get a refund because this thing is a piece of junk.

Added thought... I want to use Audacity software to help with the conversion. Again, any thoughts? Thanks!

Do you know what I would use to export files in .wav format? I have a pc with the basic stuff. I would ultimately be using Audacity sound editing software. I've always used .wav files with it. I'm not to experienced with the tech side of things.Andrea

I'm hoping I can post links here. I haven't even opened my box yet, but this clip shows some settings you may want to check. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mg6EJ6JiLTM If my link has been removed, go to youtube. Search "novation launchkey 25 ableton live". It's about the 7th video down in the search results. There are Japanese characters in the description, but don't worry, the audio is in English. I hope something from those Youtube results can help you.

What are you using it with? I just plugged it into my machine and it shows up in my sound control panel and on audacity.

Yes - the instructions are in English but not very good. Instructions do not say anything about downloading the software from the Audacity website if you have Win7.0 on the computer. We found that after searching on the Taotronics website. It will record for anywhere from about 2-5 minutes, then loses the connection to the player or something and the recording freezes. Will start back up if I cancel and restart, but then freezes again. I cannot believe that this thing does not need some kind of driver for it - computer loses communication with it every time we try to record a cassette. Have tried this on 2 different computers now and same problem on both computers. Yes - the instructions are in English but not very good.

This packaging looks like the one I have. Once installed you may have to upgrade to 2.3.1, but that's a free upgrade. Depending where you buy it, the seller may simply just want to get it out the door. I believe that I paid $179.00 for my version, that was a year ago, maybe longer. Are you buying it from a store or a private seller? I believe Amazon has some buyer protection, you might want to use that. The 2 stores I typically purchase from are audiodeluxe.com and jrrshop.com, when you get on their email list you will receive tons of offers selling this stuff at really low prices. And the price you mentioned would not be out of line in one of their sales. It's to the point where I wont buy anything unless it on sale and at least 50-60% off, and every month or two, you'll find what you're looking for. I hope I've answered your question, if I haven't, ask me another question. I'm happy to help folks with this stuff.

The YSP-2200 digital sound bar product as packaged by Yamaha does not include the optional or add-on iPod dock shown in the photo, so be careful in your expectations. My order of this product through amazon marketplace was fulfilled by another supplier (BopoTech), and this 3rd party supplier's product offering for the YSP-2200 included the Yamaha YDS-12 iPod dock as an extra item for one price. The YDS-12 dock works well with the YSP-2200 sound bar system, but technically is not included within the YSP-2200 product box as packaged by Yamaha, unless Yamaha has changed their product packaging.

My manual has separate sections for PC and Mac. It would be easy to miss the Mac instructions -- 4 pages in the middle of a 23-page booklet, with all the rest devoted to PC -- but those pages covered everything in Mac-only detail. I bought mine a while ago, and the booklet (and the supplied Audacity program) are out of date. I can't tell you whether an updated manual and program are now included. I can tell you that I updated Audacity on line, for free, and that the settings are in different places than they were in the original version. Similarly, the Mac OS X preferences that you have to set look different than in my copy of the manual. My manual has separate sections for PC and Mac.

Play it safe and send it back. What is the source of the music? Is it on all tracks by all artists? I don't have any problems with mine.

I bought this item from Amazon, but when goods arrived, it has 2 normal speakers, and none with soft dome tweeters & woofers. What should I do to contact the seller? Pls help. Thanks.

I haven't used mine in about a year, still can't get the files off. As I remember the WAV is the mixed down version, not separate tracks. I need to fool around with it again, get the tracks off and start over. I can't figure the damn thing out.

I have read the same thing, but both J&R Music and Amazon continue to sell this item -- is it an upgrade ... a NEW model ... or a close-out of the old potentially "defective" unit?

Hi Doug, Let me start by saying I am a keyboard player and own several IK Multimedia products. The Total Workstation XL Bundle for PC, Sampletank, iGrand and iLectric Pianos for IOS, and iRig Pre for IOS. I have an extensive collection of virtual instruments and I'm very impressed with all of these products. I did try iRig MIDI and here are two issues I found. First; I need to use 2 keyboards in my live setup. I took a standard 5 pin MIDI cable out of one keyboard and into the MIDI input of the second keyboard. I then used the supplied iRig MIDI to MINI plug and connected the iRig MIDI to my iPad. I should have been able to set each keyboard for a different MIDI channel and trigger the sound set up on that MIDI channel in Sampletank for IOS. However, it would only allow me to use one keyboard, or input source, on only one MIDI channel at a time. Using a standard USB 'printer style' cable out of the second keyboard to the iPad Camera Connection kit(plugged into the iPad) solved this problem. I am mentioning this in case you might have two different trigger sources which you need to set to two different MIDI channels. This could be an issue. Which brings me to the second issue; there were supposed to be 2 of the special iRig MIDI to MINI cables which interface with iRig MIDI and 1 USB cable to connect to a USB power supply(which is not included). Problem was that they included 2 USB cables and only 1 special MIDI cable in the box. If I recall correctly there were @ 7 out of 11 reviewers that received the wrong cables, as I did. My best advice is to pick one up and give it a try to see if it will satisfy your needs. But I just wanted you to be aware of a couple of issues which might possibly affect it's overall performance.
