Sound Forge breaking my mix up?

Hello all. I just recorded my first mix to my computer tonight, and when I went to listen to it in Sony Sound Forge 9.0 there were a lot of breaks in it that I did not mix it. The set is only about 30 minutes long and I cannot edit all of them out perfectly.
Does anyone have any idea's what might be causing this? Hardware issue? Software?
Thanks! |

May distortion from a ground loop? If so, get a ground loop isolator from radio shack.
Also, do you have enough RAM in your computer/processor speed, etc? |

Yeah, a buddy just told me about this and said it was free online. I'll try mixing with that tonight when I get home.

I'll look into the ground loop if Audacity has the same issue has Sound Forge.
But yeah, I have PLENTY of RAM and a nice processor to boot:) |

| sounds like a PC issue...what is your machine specs? Are u recording while u have other apps running? I use Sound Forge exclusively for recording and I never have any problems. |

ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe AM2 Motherboard
MSI NX8600GTS 256mb 128 bit(not that it's relavant)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+
Rosewill 550w Powersupply
Corsair XMs2 Dominator 2GB RAM
Now, I am using an onboarded sound card, could this be an issue?
I have smaller programs running, aim, an internet browser or two and sound forge of course.

I didn't try playing it in winamp. I will try that when I get in. |

| No matter what when you're recording you should quit all other apps, and turn off your wireless too. |

Wow, never knew I should disconnect the internet. I'll re-record tonight when I get home and post the results.
Thanks all. |

Absolutely! Theres probably a driver conflict with your onboard sound card. If your getting into this more, I would highly suggest getting a nice replacement card such as an external firewire/USB like the firebox (what I use and love it) or an M-Audio 2496 internal or equivalent. Turning off your internet is not necessary unless ur downloading crap. Your machine is fine with plenty of ram, so it has to be that onboard audio card. If money is tight, see if u can update the drivers and hopefully that will correct it.
On my water cooled machine, Im running 2gigs of Corsair ram, AMD Athlon 64 FX55 CPU, 700watt PSU, Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe and 2 Raptor 10k rpm drives in raid 0...with this I have had uTorrent running, multiple browsers running, and even a PC game running in the background and still recorded flawlessly. |
