[ddots-l] Re: Configuring my pc for sonar

I recorded at 22.5 khz because I figured the disk space the files took up
would be smaller, and because the mike I have is so cheap, I figured IO
didn't need cd quality..
The soundcard in the laptop is a conexant ac - link audio device.  When I
export my sound file to a wav, it sounds fine. The problem happens when I
record, and it simultaniously plays back the sound.

What sound card are you using?  Why would you record at 22.5khz?  Any system

made nowadays should be able to record 4 tracks of audio with no problem at 
all, provided that you are using a sound card that is a cut above a sound 
blaster or soundmax card.

Last night, I created my first piece of music.  Because I know there are
readers with a wide range of sensabilities, I won't print all the lyrics
here. I will say this much.  It consisted of four vocal tracks which created
a four part harmony: consisted of two bars and four words: the first word
was "this" and the last word was "test."  I have not hooked up my midi
equipment yet. I did uninstall norton and some other nasties from the
taskbar. My whole purpose in doing this was to simply record something. I
didn't worry much about levels: I just set the frequency to 22.5 and the bit
depth to 16.  I found thatthat when I recorded the forth track, the other
three tracks which were playing back as I recorderded were very choppy, and
the whole meter of my groundbreaking work was lost.  My question is this:
Are there any good sites on the net which discuss the compromises one can
make to create a machine to work decently with audio, while still realizing
that the machine will mainly be used for school homework and other things. I
have already had a list member vollunteer to assist me, and though I will
most likely take him u p on it, I'd like to understand the issues and
trouble shooting techniques myself, so I can be a smarter wiser person. I
don't want to clutter the list with spacific suggestions which might apply
to me, as I'm sure most of you have been through this already, but if there
are helpful links people have found, feel free to post them. Thanks in
advance.also, is there a program which will let me stop services which are
running? I don't want to go through the hastle of unchecking lots of stuff
in msconfig, then rebooting, then rechecking them when my work is done
unless I absolutely must.
