Trying to record audio with zoom H5, Low Memory

Hi Anybody,

I have a very high end pc (64 gigs ram, high end gpu, 3950X processor), but I am getting a low memory error when trying to record audio track while previewing a clip. I found a couple things on web that said I can't record audio while previewing a clip because it is resource intensive, and I should use something like audacity. This is difficult because I need to record a sound track while watching the video, and there must be a setting or switch that I need to adjust (like an internal command in options?). I am using a Zoom H5 via usb, and any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Clay

Be sure Vegas preferences are set to use the dedicated h5N audio drivers, not Mapper.

Record directly to the H5, whilst watching the picture, then import the audio file(s) afterwards. You could put an audio blip (2-pop) on VP for sync align, in lieu of timecode. it may drift slightly if it is long, but that relatively easy to correct if it needs fo be absolute frame accurate
