Someone please help!?!?!
I am at wits end trying to set my computer up for hard disk recording. It seems no matter what I try, I get random "skips" in the audio. I believe samples are not getting recorded. Sometimes it may sound like a "click" as well. I think I've tried almost everything, but thought I'd post here just in case someone has had this problem.
Here's my specs:
Athlon 500 w/ KX133 motherboard; 256Mb RAM; 2 hard drives (IBM Deskstar for recording, both set at DMA); RME Hammerfall sound card with latest drivers; Matrox G400 dual head video card; a few other cards (network, modem, scsi, etc.) - note: RME is on own IRQ (5);
Also, Fostex VM200 digital mixer to convert analog to digital using ADAT lightpipe as connection.
I've tried:
- All types of sync, from ADAT lightpipe with Fostex as master to ADAT lightpipe with card as master (card shows "sync" for ADAT in.
- Word clock sync (with both the mixer as master or the card)
- Disabling all other running programs
- Unplugging USB connection
- Altering buffer settings
- Has problems whether recording into Cubase or SoundForge
I can't remember now what else I've tried. If anyone can help in any way, I'll be forever indebted. Thanks!
