After a couple of months of making digital tracks and samples on Cakewalk, I have decided to take up a notch a also record my own live instruments, ie guitar & vocals.
So I purchased a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen, but it is basically unusable as it is with my current setup.
The audio monitring is constantly glitching and cracking, to the point where it is impossible to listen to an audio file.
I have fully installed Focusrite Control, and followed instructions from Help Center and videos to reduce audio craks / latency issues.
I have namely followed this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QykpGytOXs8&t=39s , but also most videos on youtube, adjusted buffer size, etc.
I own an ACER Aspire F15, with Intel Core i7 (2.7 GHz, up to 3.5 with boost), 8 GB DDR4 Memory, 128 GB SSD + 1 TB HDD.
The computer is 5 years old, though it is still very fast apart from the digital interface issues.
So, I wondering if it was purely due to my PC, any thoughts ?
I meant to buy a new one anyway, but not sure what to get. What PC do you use to record through a digital audio interface ?
