This is for everyone out there who has had alot of headaches with tracks skipping whilst recording or during playback.
I have read all the suggested reasons for tracks skipping that have been posted in these forums such as CPU speed, Hard Disk Speed, Audio Hardware settings etc...
I have come to the following conclusion:
Tracks skipping during playback or recording has little or nothing to do with CPU speed or HD speed. The MAJOR issues are as follows:
1. Getting the latest drivers for your soundcard
2. Downloading the latest Direct X (version 8)
3. Adjusting your Audio hardware settings to suit Atomix (settings - control panel - multimedia - audio)
I have done the above and now Atomix is working perfectly on my system which is not very fast and has a fairly basic soundcard.
I have an Intel Celeron 433Mhz with 130Mb memory and a fairly standard 6.4 Gig Hard Disk Drive. My soundcard is a C-Media with 3D. I am running Windows 98 SE.
Atomix works perfect for me with the following Audio Hardware settings:
PLAYBACK - Hardware Acceleration set to FULL
- Sample Rate set to BEST
RECORDING - Hardware Acceleration set to FULL
- Sample Rate set to GOOD
I did not have to disable any programs or fiddle with anything else. Infact I can record a mix with other programs running in the background withought any problems.
I would suggest you try doing the above 3 things before spending money upgrading your system. Try other combinations for your Hardware settings if the ones I have shown do not work because all soundcards are different. Otherwise conact your soundcard manufacturer and find out the optimum settings. I am almost 100% sure that the skipping is due to soundcard conflicts with Atomix rather than anything else.
I hope this info will help someone out there because i was getting pretty pissed off with the tracks skipping myself.
Happy mixing,
Alexx.
