on sat night i ran v3@24/96>digiset>fujitsu p2120 laptop. just listened to the recording and it has these bits of crackle throughout the recording. sucks ass. so i just ran some informal tests in my living room with different bit rates/sample rates.
16/44: no crackle
16/48: no crackle
24/44: no crackle
24/48: no crackle
24/88.2: a little crackle
16/96: only a very little crackle
24/96: fair amount of crackle
is this a memory issue? i only have 256mb ram and i can expand to 384. will it be eliminated if i run win2k instead of xp pro? or is this a hard drive issue (not enough rpm)? i don't know the HD specs.
i was originally running with windows optimized for background processes. when i switched to optimized for programs, it seemed to get better, but not eliminated.
