Sounds like latency problems to me.

Things to check - what are your soundcard latency settings? Are you recording at 16, 24 or 32-bit? How many tracks/plugins are you using? Have you done the various PC tweaks which allegedly speed up or streamline operations?

Think that'll do for now. Have a look at all that (all solutions findable on the net or in the manuals) and let us know how you go.

It may be that your hard drive isn't fast enough, they really should spin at 7200 rpm.
