Default Re: Goddammit, being stupid sucks.

1. Vista "was" new. Stuff that worked fine on XP, is now buggy. So, there is always a lag in drivers for your sound card, for example. Sometimes, there are no new drivers because they dropped your model.

2. Usually a single controller in your desktop computer has connections for two devices - maybe the hard drive and the DVD. Most have two controllers for up to four devices. It's advisable to have the recording disk on that second controller. If you copy a file, it has to read the disk, then write the data. With two different controllers, you will get a better stream (performance) as one will be just reading and one will be just writing. This usually not a big deal if you are just recording a handful of tracks at once.

Everyone here has been in that moron spot : ) I seem to live there.

Have you browsed around for audio interfaces to get you audio into a computer ?
