Garbled Recordings

Hi,

I just purchased a Delta 1010 over the weekend. It came
bundled with the Vegas Audio 2.0a software.

I'm receiving lots of pops and clicks in my recordings when
I try to record at 96kHz 24-bit. Even at 44.1kHz 16-bit, I
still receive some pops and clicks. I hear these in the
recording. Playback of a clean audio clip sounds fine. If
I'm just monitoring the inputs through the board (no
software), it sounds fine at any resolution or frequency.

I've installed the latest Delta 1010 drivers from their web
site (Windows 95/98/ME v 4.1.22.27 & ver. 1.01.18
Maintenance Panel), but they didn't make any difference.

Here is what I have for a system:

Shuttle AE22 mother board with latest BIOS (AE22S01)
Intel Pentium III 800MHz
128MB PC133 RAM (set to 133MHz FSB)
40GB ATA100 7200RPM Hard Drive
Matrox Millenium PCI graphics adapter
Adaptec AHA2940UW PCI SCSI Adapter (for CD-Rom drives)
Delta 1010 PCI Adapter
MidiSport8x8s USB Midi Interface

Oh yeah, I'm running Windows 98. I tried this on Windows 2000 also,
and it was much worse. Completely unusable, even at 44.1kHz 16-bit.

Thanks for your help,

Tim

Go to this site http://www.rme-audio.com/english/index.htm and look in the 'Reference PC Update'
section. In there, look at the 'Tuning tips for low latency operation'. Let me tell you, I was pretty
frustrated at my DAW's performance even though Vegas is supposed to work with the Windows default
settings. Once I made some recommended changes based on their article, my DAW's performance
practically DOUBLED! No clicks, pops, dropouts...and I can play back and record more tracks than I'll
ever need without any problems. I'd recommend that you write down all of your settings BEFORE you
change them just in case...
