mixes "lag" when recorded

i'm not sure why but every 2-3 minutes there will be a slight lag/stutter when i'm recording my mixes. i never notice it until i actually listen to it burnt on cd, it's certainly not the records skipping or anything like that.

i'm using my laptop with 1.8 dothan, 1024 ram, and adobe audition. i always close all processes and applications that aren't necessary when i record, so i'm not sure what's causing it. sometimes i notice the blue bar above the volume gains in audition appear, i'm assuming that's meaning lag occured...but what's causing it?

shouldn't my comp be able to handle this? is this a soundcard issue? i wanted to get the echo indigo, but if my computer is too slow to record live mixes...which i would have no idea why...then there'd be no point in that

Re: mixes "lag" when recorded

assuming that this problem exists before you burn the audio to cd, you have tried playing it back on the computer to see if it lags there as well?

Have you got a wifi card? or things like an external hard disk?

yes i've got a wifi card but i disable it while recording.

some people have suggested it's due to the hard drive having to write all over the place. so i defragged and will try to create a partition.

could it just be a soundcard issue? the standard card in my laptop sucks, so is it just too much for it to handle possibly?

Might be it is a crappy soundcard and isnt made for this kind of stuf...might be a simple matter of IRQ conflicts which was one of the problems I had.
