i use acid 5 pro to record vocals,lately i been hearing some funny quirks and it seems to happen only when recording not on playback but it doesn't record the quirk,sometimes what it does tho is cause the recorded track to skip kinda...i have audiophile 2496 soundcard w/ yamaha MG10/2 mixer..any suggestions

Jul 28, 2005 08:10 am hmm, are you running any software at the same time as acid?
Jul 28, 2005 08:39 am Have you made sure you have the most recent drivers for the Audiophile?
Jul 28, 2005 08:47 am here's my guess, because well it happens to me sometimes. for some reason the soundcard is picking up interference from your pc. for instance when the hardrive is writing data during recording. so the quirks, i'm gonna take a stab, are processing noises. kinda like how cables and amps can pick up radio frequencies, same with your sound card. your sound card isn't actually processing the "quirks" therefore they don't get recorded.
Jul 28, 2005 09:05 am no,not running any software same time...i'm about to update drivers now and little guy,if your right how do i prevent interference?...good lookin out peeps
EDIT:tried to update but said it couldn't find better match than one i already have
Jul 28, 2005 09:10 am i have close to 1G of RAM so memory isn't the problem is it?
Jul 28, 2005 10:53 am well, i just deal with it, because the quirks don't actually show up in my recording. i only hear them while recording. so when i play back the file i recorded, it's crystal clear and free from artifacts. i guess the only way to eliminate the "quirks" is to try/use an external interface that connects via firewire or usb...... then again, i'm no pro so i could be wrong
Jul 28, 2005 11:31 am i always think of that as my buffers filling up and purging...if we're talkin' about the same thing (which i am just guessing).....does it seem to be on somewhat of a predictable 'tempo'? if so, set up a loop of a few bars and let it play through, if it goes away, ummm that means something...lol
Jul 28, 2005 11:59 am I get them too, the night before last, to be specific. I had 5 - 7 tracks playing back, and there were little digital stutters here and there in my phones. I set n-track to not read muted tracks, then muted anything that wasn't necessary. I ended up with just the drum track for click, and it got rid of the problems.
I'm thinking that this is just the competition inside the computer for ability to move data, through the chip, the buss, HD controller, memory, sound device, etc. The more stuff to move, the more chance of stutters to show up.
Now that I think of it, it may also be the speed at which the soundcard can move data. picking up multiple tracks and sending them out, while also receiving new signals and sending them to the HD controller.
The more I think of what's going on, the more I think it's a miracle any of this stuff works at all.
Jul 28, 2005 12:11 pm lol it's kinda scarey to me!
Jul 30, 2005 09:44 am Check your grounding (possible ground-loop), if it's what little guy says. Does it sound like little burbles and bleeps, like a mini R2D2? Does it happen when you move your mouse? Also, be sure you don't have a disk in any of your optical drives, does the same sounding thing (oh, and turn off "Auto Insert Notification on your optical drives)...
