Hello guys, as always I turn to you, you always solve all of my doubts. So far when I had to record something in multitrack, I did it with Cakewalk Pro Audio 9, with no problems and good quality (not that much because I only have a SB16, but still). I didn't like the files processing in Cakewalk and I was far more comfortable with CEP 1.2 for edition and those things, so I changed and decided to make my multitracks with CEP, after all it works better for what I do. But when I was going to record my first take, I found out that it doesn't record properly. The resulting take sounds like if I had been recording in 8 bits from msdos with a home microphone. No that I'm a pro, but that much I can do... So, since I'm absolutely sure my settings are well (everything works fine in Edit mode), and cakewalk worked perfectly, any suggestions about what the problem could be? I got quite good buffers and secs settings a while ago, if anybody has got a very very good one for a SB16, just tell me please. Just for the record, I've got a 166 mmx with 64 ram and so. Thx, and sorry for being such a lame, just don't wanna waste my time when I'm sure somebody out there knows it.

Yeah, just about every time I have a problem with CEP, it's *not* CEP that's the problem. The only problem I have with it is its slowness when editing. Slow Edit Pro. And part of that is surely my computer, which is small and not fast.
Get a good soundcard, obviously. Gadgetlabs make great soundcards if you can afford one.

"slow edit pro"
Hehe!
Man, I didn't know that AWE 64's are not Full Duplex! D'oh a new one on me. I was trying to use an Aureal Vortex at one time, great gaming cards, but only half-duplex.
SB Live "values" can be had for about 40 bucks now or less, if you don't use sp/dif you can get away with it.
Dobro, "slow edit" becomes "fast edit" on our P-III 600, and we're running CEP 1.1 on THAT machine. And we spent our last dime on a Wave/824, we love it.
My own machine is a Celery 300A/SB Live and it still transforms faster than Sound Forge.
The diff with Vegas Pro I guess is that with the plugin chainer, it applies the effects AS it is rendering the WAV, which I guess would be faster- Didn't work well on my old K-6 233 though.
