Can I suggest that you sign up at GroupDIY. You will probably find that more designers (both amateur and professional) are active over there than here at HR, and you'll probably get a lot of info quickly.

You know Henry. Always living on the edge :eek: I just hope he has good ear protection:

Have a look at GroupDIY. Almost anything you want to clone will be discussed there. And there are many original designs as well.

OK, there's a few issues here. First, your sound card. The eClaro is evidently designed as a quality multi-channel play-back device. It is unlikely to have been engineered with serious (eg professional) audio recording in mind. For recording, you would be better to use an audio interface...

Maxime, The Line Audio CM3 is a surprisingly good sounding microphone and costs about €100. It needs to be used in a shock mount. Although currently out of stock, you can buy them from here: Line Audio - Swedish Made High Quality Audio Products - Available at NoHype Audio The CM3 is a wide...

Not sure what to advise. Unfortunately, the fall-back Windows fix seems to be a system restore or re-install. I am much more familiar with Linux than Windows these days, so I will defer to recommendations from those who regularly use Windows for their audio work-flow. There is, if I recall...

Couple of other suggestions: If you haven't done so already, I suggest you sign up at the Cakewalk forums Cakewalk Forums where you may receive advice more specifically relevant to troubleshooting Sonar. Also, as an experiment, try installing the trial version of Reaper to see if that makes...

Try temporarily disabling Virtual Memory. I don't know how to do that (not a Windows user), but there is plenty of info "out there". Then try running Sonar again, and re-run the latency monitor. If that works, then you might need more RAM. Although with 6G I can't imagine why unless other...

Looking at your Latencymon screen dump, I see lots of hard pagefaults. According to the Latencymon web page: Is there anything else running that could be consuming large amounts of RAM? Is your PC correctly reporting the amount of installed RAM? If you have antivirus software running, try...

When you start up the PC, if you watch the start-up text, you will see a message that reads "Press <DEL> to enter set-up" That exact message may not appear on your PC, but there will be something similar. Might be a different key to press, for instance. Once in the set-up, see if you can find...

I would experiment using other USB ports. Also, try switching off CPU frequency scaling.

John, with current over-sampling AD converters, is this such an issue? As it relates to over-sampling AD, my understanding is that the analog anti-aliasing filter can be a simple (even first order) filter, with corner frequency placed well outside the audible range, in the region of low...

The playback not working could be a just a slipping or broken drive belt. If the motor runs but the tape doesn't run, then this could be the problem.

Is there a headphone output? Could use that. Or maybe tap the speakers (would need a pad of some sort to attenuate the ouput). How about posting clear front and back photos of the boom box to see what, if any, connection points might be available? And a block diagram was mentioned???

Maybe Dr V could describe the specific set-up, and post a sample of a problematic recording. An inherently noisy and/or insensitive mic would not help.

What about that enigmatic "Pad" button? Maybe it makes the sound fatter?

"Circle with a line through it" puts the pre-amp in voice-over mode. Oh. Dear. And all this time I've naively assumed that ø just inverted the signal polarity. Boy, do I feel dumb.

What is the specific make and model of the phantom power supply? To what is the output from the phantom box connected?

A 250G hard drive is less likely to be an early generation IDE drive. But it could be running sub-optimally, hence my suggestion above. Also, the data rate was seemingly adequate from the C: drive.
