hi,
well i wrote a week or so about this. i'm having troubles with recording on my new computer. it's vista. i've tried a couple of programs. i cannot monitor my instrument when recording. although it records, the sound plays back with lots of cracks and pops. sounds terrible, volume cuts in and out.
it seems as though my computer soundcard (conexant high definition smart audio 221) does not want to do what i need it to do.
if my sound is set up as ïntigrated sound which i'm afraid it is, it doesn't support things like streaming audio inputs. i've also tried direct transfer of external wavefiles and they also come out with clicks and pops.
i understand vista has made this type of project much more difficult than XP was but is it hopeless? my computer (a compaq CQ60 laptop 32 bit) is set up for high definition dvd playback. sound on it is fine when playing itunes, using the webcam/mic for international chatting, works on youtube. however, when recording the sound is choppy, cuts out, cuts back in, distorted.
i can appreciate the idea that an external soundcard is much more desirable but at this point i do not feel confident in spending money on a new soundcard if i'm not sure if my computer can handle it to begin with.
if anyone can offer me some help i would really appreciate it.
thanks!
