I have a 3:12 guitar track I have just recorded, and am ready to put in the bass.

I make a new track. Slam on record with the guitar track on "S" and start playing. Dropout. Try again. Dropout.

Why is this? I had merely played two notes on the bass. Whats going on?
 
That happens because you don't post info about your PC complete spec and audio latency setting on your HS2002... :p

Give us a clue, will ya ? :)

And what do you mean by -Slam on record with the guitar track on "S"- ?

;)

PC specs - 1.5ghz Celeron, 128mb, 20gb hard drive.

Err... What do you mean by Audio Latency (I'm new to this setup man ;) ).

When I said about the "S" I mean I have audio running.
 
I think I have fixed the problem. I will post again if I have further problems.

I went Options -> Audio and changed made the moved the Mixing Latency slider to the right. I think its all sorted now.
 
Ok no I'm not... I'm having problems again.

Is there anything else I can try. I still have another two tracks to put in.
 
What souncard, which drivers, how many reindeers?
 
Its an Avance A97 (crap I know) but surely should be able to handle more than one track. Of which it has done an EXCELLENT job on, I may add.

Click to expand...

It has less to do with the physical hardware and more to do with the quality of the drivers for the soundcard. If the card has WDM drivers (of which I highly doubt), they were certainly not written for audio recording work and low latency, but rather for typical soundcard use (games and Windows sounds). Do yourself a favor and buy something like an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 if you are at all serious about recording music on your PC with Home Studio 2002.

Also, what OS are you using? 128Mb might be acceptable for something like Windows 98, but not 2000 or XP. Nowadays, an absolute minimum for for any kind of DAW on a PC would be 256Mb.
