daddyv : I had hoped we could talk about your bios befor you updated it . 1st and always I do everything But bios and its done.. in a last resort and only if it address's your issues directly.. I hope it workd out for you !!

Here's This mornings report....All updated done & backed up.. I ran an MP3 and it sounded fine i media player and X-2!!  Checked all my settings and loaded an audio track.  Recorded a guitar track- sounded good! Erased then added supperior drum track 12 bars then a guitar then a second as a lead guitar - sounded fine no sratches when saving. Then i added busses for the drums and one for each guitar- still A OK...sounded great!! I then began to add FX in pro channels and console emulators and then the same scratch's when saving showed back up. GRRRR I thought we were fixed? I know it's just one more tweak to get this machine working perfect. But what tweak will do the trick? I'm not starting my new project till I get this last imperfection fixxed.  Thanks for all the help guys. You Rock!!!

DaddyV its down to bios tweeks and interface settings !! bbl

I don't think this has been mentioned yet, or maybe I'm simply missing it, but you should certainly try increasing your latency to see if that helps with the screeching sound - your CPU should be hitting pretty hard if that's the case.
 

Me thimks I got it fixxed
Next I need to figure out how to post songs for approval or jibes...lol

What did you do to fix your system !!

StarTekh...I used every tweak you showed me except messing with the bios! I got the interface and X2 matched up in the settings menus. That did the trick. I still had one crash today but was my fault for not waiting on the program to stop. Other than that she did everything I asked of her today. I will start tracking for real this weekend. And, I started a soundclick profile for you guys to comment on my progress which I would appreciate if it's constructive of course...lol  I expect a crack now and then but I'm all about my own stuff & don't care about making money just music for my own pleasure....ROCK ON

Oh, thank you so much StarTekh BTW......You are the man

Happy Tracking !! I feel a Happy Thread comming on !!
