The following suggestions may help: • Select on the Device tab under Options | Control Properties and make sure you have the correct recording device selected and that the device is not listed as “emulated”. • Defragment your hard disk. • Restart your system before recording. • Disable your virus scanner (temporarily). • For long recordings, disable the screen saver and power management. • If you have a large second hard drive, use Options | Storage in GoldWave to set the Temporary storage folder to that drive (such as D:\). • Try switching between RAM and hard drive storage in GoldWave (use Options | Storage). • Contact the sound card manufacturer and request an updated driver. • Disable or enable DMA or UDMA for the hard drive (BIOS setting). • Set a fixed amount of “virtual memory” in Windows. Configure the minimum and maximum virtual memory limits to 1GB, for example. See the Windows Help for more information.
