I have been recording with my computer using Tracktion for a couple of months and have recently started haveing problems with my recordings. I have not been able to get a clean recording with any type of resonable latency settings.
My computer is a Dell with a 2.1ghz P4. 640mb ram. Echo Audio MIA MIDI card. I have not been able to get a recording that would be clean with anything less than about 30ms of latency. I have added a second hard drive about a month ago with no apparent problems. It is used only for data storage. Another strange thing that has started happening lately is that the computer will turn itself off if I leave it on for long periods of time say overnight. It does not do a complete shutdown but it is not in hibernation mode eather. When I hit the power button, it give me a black screan that says windows is restarting and then resumes normal windows oporation. I am starting to wonder if maybe teh processor or some of the memory could be starting to go bad and that is why I am having so much trouble with recording? Or another thing that I thought of was that maybe by adding the second hard drive, I am drawing too much power and the power supply can not keep up? I have re-installed my old sound blaster card to check to see if the card was the problem and that didn't help. Does anyone have any ideas on what is going on here? I am about to the point of pulling my hair out. Thanks in advance for any advice.
