It's been working smoothly, but then the other day when I opened it and recorded some audio, it was all slooooow, chorus'ish, echo'ish, delay'ish and down frequented. So pretty much terrible Then if I restart my computer, it sometimes works again but not always. Any suggestions? I tried re-installing Audacity and my sound drivers, and after I reinstall the sound drivers and reboot, it works...for a while, and then it just crashes the sound again. Help is greatly apprectiated! /Seagull You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Or it could be a conflict with something else running in the background. Try shutting down all non-essential programs with ctrl-alt delete in the process manager and see if it clears up.

Also try choosing the right sound driver in the recording softwares preferences as well.. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

If you have kind of a slow pc (very few RAM and / or a bad ("onboard") soundcard) it might have problems to "get" it all in the right time and this is when the sound crashes... i had the same problmes with cubase when starting to record two inputs. hope that helps cheers You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

But i have 1gb ram, and as I said, I have been able to record nicely with it till the crashes started. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Yeah, it is perfectly alright. Now I am just profoundly confused! I did what Daniel Robertson said about closing some instances that were running in the background, and as I had bot IE and Firefox running and consuming some RAM I closed them and suddenly the sound was fine! Recording now again, will try to figure out some other day what went wrong Thanks for your help! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Firefox and IE tend to eat a large portion of RAM memory.. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
