Yesterday I used Vegas 10e (64 bit) to record a accapella choir. It was my first attempt at a live multi-track recording with this setup. (I have plenty of experience in multi-track recording, just not to a computer.) I had 4 inputs into my Presonus Firestudio interface and 4 tracks setup in Vegas. I found that I had 2 intermittant problems throughout the session that really bugged me. I was not connected to the internet during the session so I don't think it was anything related to that (IMs, incoming emails or whatever)
1. I would have all 4 tracks armed and when I hit the record button sometimes only 3 tracks would actually record. It was never the same track that refused to record but the only way out of this was to shut down Vegas and restart. I might go 2 takes or 10 before it would happen again, possibly on the same track, maybe on another.
2. I had about 4 instances where everything was humming along smoothly and all of the sudden Vegas just quit recording. No warning, nothing, it just stopped recording. The timeline would keep moving on the screen but all the inputs just cut out. I had to restart Vegas, put all tracks back into Record Ready mode press Record and all would be fine. Until the next time it happened...
I'm using an HP HDX16 laptop with 64 bit Vista Home Premium on it with 4GB RAM. I had close to 100 GB of HDD space and was recording less than 2 hours of material. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike
