When one riff ends and the next begins, there is a "hiccup" or silence at the beginning of the drum pattern, like it misses the first beat. Sometimes it is not too pronounced and is even a cool effect
, and sometimes it doesn't even happen at all.I'm wondering if my computer is too slow? I'm using an AMD Athlon 2500+ with 1GB RAM and a Seagate IDE harddrive. I've noticed also that when recording many layers on the same riff, after about a dozen or so layers, there is a distorted sound at the start of the new layer (doesn't end up in the played-back recording, just in the live monitoring).
The distortion sound when recording many layers I can live with, as it doesn't affect the final mix, but the drum hiccups are not very good as they do end up in the playback. I thought the drum problem might have been from running too many layers and/or effects, but it even happens with 1 layer and no effects on it.
Fortunately it does not happen with all the drums! But I don't want to keep throwing away ideas because I can't use some of the cool drum beats.
Thanks for any help or suggestions... does anyone know if there are any software updates coming soon for RiffWorks?
