laptop help

[ghetto_messiah]

ive been recording on my desktop at home wthout any problems, but when ive come to record on my laptop, the sound is a little jumpy. the laptop, is faster, and has more memory than the desktop.

is there anything i can do to correct this problem? i have absolutely no idea! will it help any to get an external hard drive?

cheers guys.

whats the write speed on the 2 hard drives? 7200 rpm is recommended for audio recording..

the laptop is 60gb, and has 1024ram.

i dont have an external hard drive yet, would it help to get one?

Yes, get a external 7200 rpm Firewire drive, The drive in your laptop is prolly 5400 rpm and trying to run sofware and the write tracks on that slow of a drive will cause all kinds of problems.

Get a Glyph drive, its the friendliest to use and quietest one on the market, and its rack mountable. but yes , it pretty much the only way, but with an external spinning at 72 your gold, as far a im concerned theres just no need to have a desktop at that point.
