Maybe a senior elf will drop by and explain it.

Alternately we may be looking at the problem. It's supposed to make a difference and yours doesn't work.

And now for the darker side. If we haven't hit something by now, there may be no solution.

One other idea. There's two ways to get dropouts. You can get the classic dropout where the system stops paying attention to the work. You get a simple hole in the show. But there's another one where the system has to go potty for a second and picks up exactly where it left off when it gets back . D...

'high' memory, do you mean 'high density' memory? No. In days gone by, programs could only address memory up to a certain limit. Anything beyond that and the program was expected to start shifting work in and out of the hard drive. This pretty much sucked as you could go to lunch waiting for the ha...

plugged in my interface to start recording voice over

One other possibility. Did you have Audacity already running when you plugged in the microphone system? Is it better if you plug the microphone system in first, wait a bit, and then start Audacity?

What's the microphone and/or interface (assuming they're different)? Can I assume this has been working for years and just this morning it started doing it? Did all this happen right about the time of your last Zoom conference? Did Windows do an update between the two times? The two computers are bo...

not everyone is good with programming. You can use one of the hardware solutions. The overdubbing tutorial calls three different devices that can provide zero latency monitoring. My Behringer UM-2 can do it and many newer mixers and interfaces can do it, too. ASIO tricks the computer into sending y...

Depending on the OS and version, you may have one built-in. If it fails, then you put in broken memory. Those different tests load in different patterns of data and then check for data addressing, data fade, leakage between cells, leakage between banks, etc. The last time I tried it with a currently...

Technics 1200 mk5. I did the survo mods for a number of 1200 Mk2 machines (from fuzzy memory). The company posted resistor changes that made the platter not fight you when you were trying to slip-cue. I wouldn't know, but the DJs seemed to like it. short chunk of digital silence If you drag-select ...

A word on grounding. The turntable cartridge and arm are almost certainly connected to the air conditioner. Did you connect the slender black wire from the turntable to the phono amp or Phono Input of the mixer? Analog turntables have three wires, not two. Most of the turntable hum and buzz goes awa...

The glitches do NOT occur at the same time. Not what I meant. If you do a capture with an error, does the capture's sound file play the error at the same time every time. https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/devices_preferences.html Scroll down to Latency > Buffer Length. If you're in the US, you mi...
