Subject:Gaps in recording
Posted by: igoran
Date:3/24/1999 12:55:25 AM

I've upgraded the system, but still experience those
annoying artefacts like gaps (about 40 frames of silence
instead of the recorded sound) and jerks, like with vynil
recordings when the they jump to the next groove.
It doesn't happen too often (once in 10-15 minutes), but I
can't get rid of it completely.
The config is:
Celeron 333 Processor,
32 MB RAM
TB Tahiti card,
6.4 Gb Quantum Fireball and 1.6 Gb Digital Caviar HDDs (I
tried both)
Win 98
Sound Forge 4.0d.
And HDD is always kept unfragmented!
Please help anybody! And please backup your comment with
email (sysmod@glasnet.ru) because I often experience
difficulties when connecticting to this forum.
Thanks.

Hi Igor -

Dont know what to say 'bout your gaps... I'm thinkin more RAM will
help - 32MB is not alot - and it all goes thru RAM first... I
experience gaps once in awhile. If I've been working on large graphic
files (or audio even) and then try to record - forget it. GAPS a
plenty.. but heres a trick that might help ya save some time. (in
case you havent already figured it out.)

gaps show up in the markers window while you're recording - when you
see a gap make a note of the time (or counter ) on your source.
CONTINUE to record to your computer... after you're done, go back and
listen to the 'gap' in your file. Wind your source back to the time
you noted. record (dont forget the pre/post-roll 6 seconds should do
it)to a new file. From ther its an easy edit and alot quicker than
trying (and failing) to re-record to your hard drive without gaps.
