I have used Cool edit pro for many years with success, but in a recent
recording session noticed that there appeared to be a number of glitches
with recording spoken parts! Typically the ocassional word would glitch as
if the recording had been interupted! This has never happened perviously!
Any ideas?

Do you have a NIC in it? These are notorious for doing just that.

Well, if you didn't update the version of CEP, then something else changed.

Hard drive getting full and/or fragmented?

Install some other software?

Get a virus?

Hard drive getting lame?

The possibilities are nearly endless, so this may require some detective
work.

Known potential issues:

(N)etwork (I)nterface (C)ard, (V)ideo (G)raphics (A)rray, even extra
harddisk controllers on the PCI bus, one instance known of a harddisk
simply being too fast for the machine it was fitted to, some version of
Compaq's PCI to USB bridge, some versions of anything VIA, the phase of
the moon, other running tasks, sound card buffer settings, whether NT
derivatives are set to optimized for background processing (! - sound
card drivers are a background process!!!!) or for foreground processing
and whether Venus currently is a morning star or an evening star. It is
not yet known whether aspects between Saturn and Jupiter matter, but
they too might.

Hardware profiles - or simply removing the cable from the nic - may be
your friend.

Remember: a happy DAW is a lean DAW!

Oops noticed hard drive needed defraging big time and yes there is a network
connection....always simple stuff, but when you are dog tired you forget
this! g

Thanks guys!

I try to leave 7~10 G free on my recording drive, and before each session I
use Norton Utilities to defrag the free space. Defragging the whole drive
takes many hours, but I can do the free space in maybe 20 minutes.

Another thing I notice on my DAW with CEP: heavy editting seems to
fragment system memory badly. A system reboot cleans this up. Failure to
reboot after hours of editing has resulted occasionally in stuttering
tracks upon record, even with defragmented hard drives.
