"Stutter" on songs when recording to Sound forge -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:"Stutter" on songs when recording to Sound forge Posted by: PeterVred Date:2/23/2002 9:36:21 AM I get "stutter" or "echo" sounds when mixing to SF. The glitch is a split second stutter as in "I L-love you". It happens at least once on every song i mix. This happend before a year ago, i can't remember how it went away. I have formatted and reloaded windows, and defragged all drives. My system is: Intel P2 266mhz PC w/393mb RAM. Disk 1 is 20GB Maxtor 7200rpm with C,D,E,F, & G partitions. Disk 2 is 10GB West.Dig. 7200rpm as H drive only...no partitions, as suggested by helpers. All wav files and only wav files occupy this disk. the problem seems to have started up again after unsuccessfully trying to load up a NIC card for networking to Cable internet. After removal of the card, and re formating and loading, the problem persists. I have also notices some "crackling" in the windows startup wav that plays as windows loads up and shuts down. I have removed and reinstalled SoundBlaster Awe 64, and replaced all connections.

Find out what's running by hitting (three finger salute.) <Ctrl-Alt-Delete> And shut down all non-essential programs one at a time and see the problem goes away. Also optimize the settings Sonic F. recomends in the help files or manual. I don't know if this will help, but it's worth a try.
Subject:RE: Reply by: dbarry Date:2/24/2002 7:55:12 PM Hi, Common problem. A stutter is a high priority CPU interrupt that takes a long time to dispatch. Usual cause is a TPC/IP stack connected to a network card. Second most common is an old (bad) video driver. First try remove hardware and software for any network interfaces. Then goto store and buy new NIC card with new softwrare for $30. Newer NICs and drivers are much more compilant. Also I must unplug my 10BASET / RJ45 when recording to the CDROM. Network keep alive pings can put holes in the middle of anywhere. Good luck.
