Quick background for ya. Been composing stuff on PCs since 1996, using Cakewalk 3 on Windows 95 (I think, memory is a bit sketchy
). Have always been a PC guy but seem to always have annoying computer problems that inhibit me from getting stuff done. That being said...I'm about to give up on Tracktion 1 on the PC. Running an Athlon XP 2500+/1G DDR RAM in Windows XP SP1 with an Edirol FA-101 firewire audio interface. Having 2 problems that are making me consider switching to Mac:
1. Click track gets badly out of sync and wanders all over the place. Never seen anything like it. Got latency on the Edirol set very low so I have no audible delays when playing instruments. This all works great but the click track has me totally befuddled. Have tried running ASIO settings in both direct and non-direct modes.
2. When playing my external Alesis D4 drum module from Tracktion, there is occasionally a huge burst of several drum sounds all at once as if Tracktion is freaking out on the midi data it's sending out. Like maybe a buffer is getting cleared out or something. Again, not sure where to go with this one.
I've had other crazy problems come up but these are the top ones in my radar scope at the moment. Tired of hearing my Mac buddies tell me that their stuff "just works". Anyone have any ideas they care to share? Thanks for your time.
