(I'm the other half of the team with VTgreen...) Thanks for that tip leading to doubledawg. I tried it and it is sooo simple and nice to use. But had no affect at all upon our problem. I found that our video card was set at 248, so I reduced it to 128 and then 96 to no avail. I have a...

I saw a tear: Powerful song. Very rich instrumentals. My only comment: I can't really hear your vocal, it's lost in the music. The emotions are definitely in that song. Your voice singing the lyrics would be great, I'll bet... but they're overwhelmed. So, a remix, maybe, to bring...

Love me til Labor Day: Fun! Got me dancing around my office. And I liked that surprise guitar solo; it was texturally different, but still sat right in on the underneath island-beat (whatever you call it, sorry, I'm ignorant), hit all the beats, but sounded different somehow. Nice. I...

Thinking of you: Beautiful song. Powerful emotional content. Sweet guitar. Excellent vocals and harmonies! The recording... well, I'm such a newbie, but it's way better than what we're doing, so what more can I say? Maybe we can add it to the list of songs VTgreen81 is going to learn for...

I haven't tried messing with hyperthreading. I'll ask my pc guy (he's a musician, too, so we're tempting him out with a recorded jam session). We do have the separate hard drives. But you do remind me that there is one thing that might be related to this: Cakewalk HSXL2004 was intially...

But if this were aliasing, then reducing the sampling would NOT reduce the noise, it would increase it, right? My problem occurs anywhere above 44.1/16. I can't even go to 44.1/24 bits without increasing the regularity and presence of this noise that only seems to appear on high frequency...

Howdy, jf neighbor! How are you? Dry? Thanks for that tip! I'll follow up on this. I figure even if it doesn't resolve my problem, it's still bound to be good! And you give me hope that it isn't a hopeless cause because we are using a PC!

Gotcha. Our machine isn't connected to the internet. I uninstalled antivirus, disabled the printer ports, basically went through every checklist I found to optimize the machine for audio. We are getting such nice clean recordings at 44.1/16 bits. But I sure do want to know if there's any...

Now, I am interested in learning more about "out of band artifacts," 'cause that sounds something like my original theory. The ticks and pops I'm getting are not the same as those I get when, for instance, I forget to increase my DMA buffer size between the time I was doing MIDI and starting to...

We bought top components, did not skimp, the box was built for this purpose, but that doesn't mean we don't have a conflict somewhere. And PC's are a nightmare, I agree. I am going to experiment some more this weekend, but I am beginning to doubt that it's the processor not keeping up. We...

I'm a fair newbie, myself, but here's something I've heard suggested and have found that works nicely to thicken up and smooth out the vocal: use more than one track. Try to sing it as exactly the same as possible for a few takes, and then use the two or three best tracks and mix those...

Given that, at least in theory, the highest frequency we can hear is about 20kHz, it would seem sufficient then to just go to 44.1. But, I figure there must be some advantage to getting higher frequencies into the recording even if most of us can't necessarily hear it, or the pros wouldn't...

Could be the Delta 1010. I'm gonna keep working with their tech line. I wish they had better online documentation for that card and monitor/mixer software and control panel. But, in addition, it is conceivable to me that one of the many settings are screwed up (suggested by forum member...

I have taken 90% of recommended optimization steps M-Audio tech sent me to (some I did bypass for considered reasons). My DMA buffer setting on the Delta1010 is at the max available in the drop-down list. We have something like a gig of ram. the machine is dedicated to this, not on the...

I wanted to go Intel, but everyone assured me that AMD was fine. I decided I must be carrying old fashioned prejudice against non-Intel math coprocessors from my ancient past and let it go. Our computer is supposedly optimized, but I suspect the display maybe too sophisticated and getting in...

It does help, a lot (not totally, but it's better enough that we can ignore the random ticks and clicks most of the time). But we still really need to work this out, since we want to be recording at 96/24, which is why we configured our super duper PC (maybe TOO super duper?) and purchased...

I will post the specs when I get a breather (have to dig out the paperwork). But, I agree, my latest suspect is the display card. I'm considering replacing it, but I'll will try to find that software first! I'd rather not give up our computer long enough to get the video card changed and...

I know that there is more data to be processed and captured at 96kHz sampling rate, and that's why we built the most souped up box we could to process the signal from the Delta 1010. But, sampling rate is also related to the frequencies to be recorded, I know for a fact, though I may have the...

We were playing with a cricket last night! It gave me great examples of my problem. When I recorded that cricket at 96kHz, 24 bits, every single high point of that little cricket's song when click. I reduced various settings and retried... and only when I got to 44.1/16 was the noise slightly...

I know, but the two are related, as I understand it so far. Are you pretty well informed about the technology of digital recording? I'm dangerous, in that I have studied this stuff on an introductory level (we took a really good class that covered these topics at a intro level). So, I know a...
