Soundforge 6.0

[JoeDrawb]

One more problem I have been getting......Wonder if anyone has any ideas as to why this is happening....

 

I've only just finished my mix-cd but that's only cos I have borrowed my mates CD writer and recorded from my hi-fi directly onto that, and then opened it up in Soundforge. When I was trying to record it directly onto Soundforge, I would finish my mix and go back to listen to it...At random points in the mix, there would be some strange noises come in...Kinda like if u had a cd playing and it skipped There didn't seem to be any pattern as to when this happened.

 

I use the booth monitor output on the mixer (DJM600) and plug it into my soundcard and adjust the volume by usin the booth volume control to keep it below the red, the PC is 900MHZ Athlon 196MB ram...So I thought it could be the soundcard, which isn't the newest card but it's not that old (not sure what it is tho TBH) - but Its odd that the rest of the mix is fine and it just happens every now and then. The recording levels were fine - so it's a mystery to me. I did even wonder if it was cos Im usin a copied version of SF (obviously I have the master I just choose to use the copied disk version..hmmmm) but doubt that.

 

It's not a major problem at the moment cos Ive finished the mix cd that I am gonna send out, but will be a problem when I wanna make a new one. Sorry this is so long, if anyone has any ideas or has had this problem i'd be very grateful for any help as it's so frustrating!!. THANK U Joe

i couple:

 

could it be something daft like an automated tasks on your computer kicking in (like a screen saver) thats using up the resorces so the recording isnt as smooth?

 

the fridge is very close to my decks and the interfearence of the fridge cooler kicking in and out (the magnetic field it gives off or something) makes the music spike slightly. atleast thats what i've put it down to as i've eliminated all other possibilities

ahhhh u could be onto something there with the automated tasks kicking in !! I close all other programs before starting on Soundforge...and I don't have a screensaver...But I have this thing that shuts the monitor off every now and then, will look into that one..Also I have quite a lot of electrical stuff nearby, strobe lights/police lights/star lights u name it! all going off around my room + the PC, they wouldn't do owt tho would they??

 

Do you have ur decks in the kitchen or a fridge in ur room? pretty cool either way...Wouldn't mind spinnin some tunes while tea is on the go! Also very handy for refreshments I would imagine!

 

Thanks again 4 ur help.

if its just a shitty old soundblaster card... its prolly that. a soundblaster live is prolly the minimum level of card you could get away with for this kinda thing..

[Mr_Happy]

i've got a soundblaster 128. its both old and very cheep but it does the job fantastically

the fridge is on the other side of the wall to the decks, but its a thin wall and radiation/magnatisum pentrates

 

to be honnest tho - that suggestion was a very long shot. i was grasping at straws

are they the straws on your head laurence?

 

 

I've used soundforge a fair bit and never had that problem, but i doubt its the fact you used your backup copy to install it as i used my back up copy too.
