OK, the same story as the guy with the 1010.
The disturbing thing about the distortion I'm getting is it's inconsistent. One take will sound terrible, I'll tweak some setting and the next take sounds fine. Great, problem solved until the next take and it sounds like shit again.
I thought I was maybe driving my system too hard recording 3 concurrent tracks, but this afternoon I was trying to record just one vocal track, and I couldn't get rid of the distortion. It's starting to really piss me off. I never had these issues with my crappy old Yamaha xg card. Plus I'm getting dropouts constantly.
My setup is
Athlon 1800+
640MB ram
40GB 7200rpm disk
WIN 98
Cakewalk GT Pro
Delta 44
Yamaha MG12/4 mixer
When I'm recording the meters on the mixer barely register. The M Audio levels are all within range, signal level set to +4db.
I've been through all the recommendations, defragged the drive, disabled everything else etc etc. Cakewalk & the M Audio control panel are the only apps running.
Any one else running a 44, could they tell me what their settings are?
Number DMA buffers
Sample rate
Signal levels
Also on the Cakewalk side, what's your setup - how many buffers, latency, I/O buffer size?
Let's hear any suggestions. I'm desperate, I'll try anything.
