I have a "crippled version" of CEP called CEP Special Edition Ver 1.1. It seems to work fine on my friend’s computer, but when I use it on mine I hear glitches, and skips. As you can imagine, this makes multitrack recording very difficult. I also hear these skips if I use CEP to play wav files that have been extracted from CDs using my CD-Rom drive. I have tried the remedies listed in the help contents, but have had no luck. Turning of the background-mixing gauge seems to help a little. My system: Athlon 650, 128 MB IBM RAM, Maxtor 7200 RPM 20.0 GB hard drive, XPERT 128 AGP video card, and a very cheap sound card (Creative, Ensoniq ~$30). I have to use this card because my Echo Darla is not compatible with my new system. Any ideas?
