Post-recording effects problem - Please help...
Posted: Thu Jun 03, 2004 11:19 am
Hi all. Can any of your hyper talented kids out there help me with a little recording problem ?
I have been recording with my Audigy Platinum 2 (including live drive n such) and Cakewalk Home Studio 2002 for about a year now, and never really had any troubles.
However, I just re-installed the machine, and wouldn't you know it I seem to have inherited a problem.
I record realtime audio straight from instruments and Mic's, and it records fine (now that I have profiled my hardware etc.)... However, when I come to add post production effects to the track (reverb for instance - which is crucial cos I'm recording voice and guitar straight into the PC with no amps or pre-amp effects) I get a fault on the track.
It's a spike. An annoying squealing blip, which occurs regularly along the recording. About 10-15 seconds apart usually, for the whole length of the track I tried to apply effects to. When I undo the reverb or whatever it disappears again.
I don't really know what the problem is cos I've never seen this before. It's the same hardware, and the same software installation. It happens with native cakewalk reverb, and soundforge plugin reverbs (which are much nicer), and I don't really know enough about sound hardware profiling to start debugging it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, cos I have a friend coming to do some recording on the weekend *grin*
Thanks in advance.
Jess.
