awwww.....more problems!!!
Still no word back from M-Audio.... grrrr.....
I set up a new project into SX2, and imported an instrumental stereo track to sing over. I selected Delta inputs 1 and 2 to record with (one direct mic and one room mic). Throughout the recording, the music kept dropping out (not just crackling, but actually cutting out), though my processor and disk usage were nowhere near maxxing out. While recording, the graphic of the wav file being drawn was a couple of seconds behind where I was actually recording. Upon playback, the timing of the track was totally off - it started early and ended early. When I moved it up to start at the right time, it still drifted, as though it was recorded at a different speed. The project was set up to record at 32-bit (float), and 96khz. The wav file I imported to sing over was 32-bit float/96. I tried turning off and on the low-latency settings in Cubase. I used the maximum buffer sizes. (2660??)
Something is seriously wrong here, and I believe it is related to the ASIO test, not being able to open devices, warnings that sync may be lost, etc. as I described above.
Please help!!
Oh yeah... and the two new vocal parts I recorded are out of sync with each other, even though they were recorded at the same time!! Grrr.....
One thing I've noticed is that my buffer sizes vary from input to input in the ASIO setup dialog for the Delta 1010. Is this part of the problem, perhaps? What about in the hardware settings - the "reset rate when idle" and "locked" options?
