I'm having problems recording 8 tracks at the same time. I have a Dell Dimension 8300 2.8 speed, 2 gb ram. The computer freezes halfway through the song when I record my entire band. Any help would be appreciated.

your hard drive may not be up to the task, like if the buffers get full, and can't hold anymore data, because the HD isn't keeping up.

try down-grading your tracking specs, like if you're at 96khz, drop to 48, or even 41. If you're at 24bit, try dropping to 16bit.

I'm not saying that this is the solution, but it may help point you to the problem, so you can work on it.

I'd like to say Welcome to HRC, and filling out your profile can help us in the future, to better troubleshoot issues.


Thinking again, Dell likes to put lots of stuff on their machines, that runs in the background. Maybe killing a lot of un-needed processes will free up some resources and help you out too. This won't help if it's a HD issue, but it will help overall, by lowering CPU usage.

Also, what software are you recording with? That can play a big part as well. Some of the free programs or lite version that come with interfaces are not up to the task of doing 8 channels at once.
