I just recorded a couple tunes....mixed down and there were a couple digital skips/clips in the final audio mix (not from overloading....similar to the sound when you're listening to a song off the harddrive and bring up a new program and it kinda skips and then keeps going)........i figure it's not a big deal....i will just mix it down again and it'll be gone.......i go back and now find that every track has that digital imprint on it somehow.....there's no way i see to fix it.........is this a cakewalk problem?
 
Not any problem I'm aware of. Which program are you using? Sonar?

Are you saying these skips weren't there originally, or they were there and you didn't notice until mixdown? Same place in each track, or random?

Give us some more info. This, obviously, shouldn't be happening. Otherwise who would ever use the product?
 
I'm using Sonar. After a little more looking into the tracks (this happened on two consectutive songs), I have concluded that it probably happened during tracking.

The reason why being that one mix down was a complete live take and every track had that skip....luckily the multi-track section only has one track that will have to be redone......

I still see this as a major problem though, as I have been doing a decent amount of live recording w/ my brother lately, and I don't want ruined tracks on a great take........any ideas? has this ever happened to you guys when tracking?

I've got a solid CPU....1.7 GHz processor and 768 Ram....
 
Are you using only one Sound Card in the System and have the master record and playback set to the same card...

Combo of that and maybe just increaseing your latency a little. What Sound Card are you using? Set to which latency?

I had that same problem a while back. but after I went and cleaned up things using xp I trimmed off all the graphics embellishment xp does and went to a best performance setting I have not seen it since. I hope it stays away too

But I really suspect it was a video graphics cpu thing. another suspect I had was those popups and adware/spyware stuff that gets on your system when your on the web. I used adware to get all that crap off. its at

I'm second that. Either that or your latency is too low.

Try raising the latency, and if that doesen't help, you need a better video-card (or maybe just updated drivers).
