very short interruptions in a wave file -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:very short interruptions in a wave file Posted by: strassburger Date:1/26/2003 3:11:06 AM I have a 4 track fostex digital recorder (which works very well) linked to my PIV computer by an optical link to a midiman pro DeltaDIO2496 sound card. Now, very often, when I record a mixed song to the PC I get in the middle of the song, short interruptions that suggest that the HD on the pC hasn't been recording continuously or at least that it dropped some data during a few millisecs...Is that problem related to a misconfiguration of my Sound forge studio software or more basically a problem with XP-pro the system under which my PC runs? This is quite annoying when the mixed track is longer than 5 min because it is impossible to predict. One can hear it only once the file has been saved and rehursed...
