Until a month or two ago i was running a P4 with 1gig of ram, even with Addictive Drums and other effects i could do it was working (not very well), I have since upgraded to an i3,with 8 gig of ram and have no issues at all. +1 I wish I had gone with a SS HDD, and will upgrade in the future...

TASCAM TrackPack X1 Bundle with US-100 | Musician's Friend While this fits into your price range, it is not "everything" she will need, but a good start. Eventually she will want studio monitors, etc, etc, etc... There is nothing about this that is cheap. However, if all she will be doing is a...

Getting in a little late here, but... Started playing piano at 7, although haven't really sat down at one since I was 15ish. Started playing guitar at 10, Played in a band all through high school, but quit when I was 19 (paying the bills became more important). But, have always played guitar at...

I was listening on earbuds, but guitar levels seem to be burying everything else. The crash cymbal is rather harsh, maybe try EQing the drums a bit. Maybe if the guitars came down a hair the vox wouldn't seem so burried. But, vox level seemed low, as did bass. Just my opinion. Don't know if that...

Seems like everytime you have something new I am listening on earbuds. Will have to take the time to listen on the monitors. But, sounds real good, man. Nothing jumps out at me. Nice work!

Not a cubase ueser either, but alot of people on here use it, and from what I know yes it is very good for recording. However, it does seem that your issue is more your computer. As ecc83 stated, turn off all windows sounds, disable your wireless when recording, and even go in and try and...

Hold on loosely-38 Special Sorry, Greg, I think I might have lost some respect for you. I can't even name a Miley Cyrus song. lol Just kiddin, but I reaaly can't! :laughings:

Don't know much about audacity (I'm a Reaper user), but in the settings (or preferences) there should a place to set up and /or change the buffers. If you open the settings and its not obvious, just use the help file. Sorry, can't help with specifics for audacity.

Ok, I think we are on the right track. If you have less than 4 Gig of ram, it is tough to not run in to issues like this. I would try to increase the buffers. You may have to find a fine line between acceptable latency, and losing the pops and clicks. If your levels are between -21 and -9, it...

What do you mean by import instrumentals? I assume you have an intrument track playing in audacity, and are recording the vox to a second track. What speed computer are you using? It may not be "clipping" at all. If your system is a little overworked during recording,(and even Playback), it can...

I just went from a P4 with 1 Gig of ram, to a dell with an i3 with 8 gig. The P4 was getting it done, just took twice as long. So, I dont think it would be that big an issue.

You still havent said what your input level is. Don't take offense, but with minimal information it is hard to give more than minimal help. Watch you meters in the DAW as you are recording are they showing the signal clipping or is the signal staticy, with out clipping?

I am assuming that you are using phantom power with your mic... Have you tried reducing your input level? What do you meters say your level is? Input levels are best between -16 and -12db. Just looked up your interface, I assume you are using channel 1, with phantom power????

Lava lamp? Damn, I knew I forgot something. I'll have to work on that.

Where there's a will, theres a way. I would do a google search on this if you haven't already. I dont think that it would use all 6 wires for audio. But, maybe.:confused: Good luck, with this. And please, post your findings.
