Hi,
I'm new to this forum and pretty new to PC recording.
Brief rundown of gear:
HP 1.4 Ghz P4 (Willamette, 423, 400Mhz Bus, Tehama i850 chipset)
512 MB RDRAM (PC600)
60 GB internal hard drive(5400 rpm)
80 GB external firewire hard drive (7200 rpm Seagate, strictly for audio files)
Delta 44 card w/breakout box
SBLive card
Mackie 1202 VLZPro
T.C. Electronic Triple C compressor
Lexicon MPX100
Various plug-ins
CWPA9.02
CoolEdit2000
I record strictly acoustic instruments and vocals. No MIDI whatsoever.
With this set-up, I am experiencing random drop-outs. Sometimes while recording, sometimes during playback.
Someone posted on another forum that he improved his dropout problems dramatically by removing his modem. I am not using the installed modem at all as I use ADSL.
Would yanking my modem:
1.) Increase my performance?
2.) Not upset anything else in my system?
Also, any other tips for increasing performance and likewise decrease dropout issues would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Earl
