Subject:noise in recordings Posted by: Ecreator Date:1/19/2003 5:59:44 PM When recording with sound forge 6.0 or even Acid pro, I am getting some pop type background noise occassionally, (like on a vinyl record). I have a terratec dmx 6 fire sound card and the only time I hear this is when I have recorded (whether it be from CD drive, DVD or even from my asrx pro). Any info is appreciated. Thanks.
Subject:RE: noise in recordings Reply by: JohnI Date:1/25/2003 8:09:34 AM It seems we are unlucky having the combination of the dmx 6 fire from Terratec and Sound Forge. I have the same problem and tried most things to resolve it including swapping PCs and replacing the DM6. In all configurations and combinations with this software and this board I get clicks. Replacing either with a different board or with different software the problem goes away. I note you have since purchased a different board - this may be the only solution if you want to use SOund Forge. Regards John I

In most via-based motherboards this would be pci slot 2 (second slot away from the agp). Disable legacy audio emulation, if present. Try removing your NIC and see if it works any better. Disable or remove any ATA or Raid controllers on the pci bus. Temporarily disable USB in the bios. Use Sysoft Sandra to identify any other clock-hogging devices. Close down all background apps. Findfast is a real baddie. Defrag. *If you are recording to a Raid drive, try it on an EIDE system drive, dma enabled.
