Help! made recording for a friend and it's skipping all over the place!

I had no other programs running as I attempted to make an audio recording for a friend today. I've loved this software for editing audio I've already had as mp3's, but trying to record today proved to be really stressful. I noticed the timer seemed to be lagging/jerking as I recorded, and there are tons of skips in the playback. Is there any way I can salvage this recording without re-doing it? any way I can process it, etc? I've experimented with changing the buffer settings and it's not helping. So dissapointed.

>I'm on a dell inspiron 1200, 25 gb hard drive with 2.09 gb free. 4200 rpms.
Suggest you get a newer, larger,
faster hard drive initially - that's too small and too slow. Actually, the same advice goes for the PC as well, and this time don't get a Dell - they are notorious for sound problems.
I'm afraid you can't salvage a recording made onto a drive that can't cope with it - because the data won't have actually made it to the drive... so there's nothing to salvage.
The problem with the drive is that the very small amount of spare space on the drive will also be competing with the OS for temp space, and since this is a woefully slow drive anyway, it simply won't cope with trying to do both things at the same time. And on top of that, your processor is slightly lower than Adobe's minimum spec, so all in all, I can't say that I'm too surprised at the results you got, I'm afraid. The minimum spec is there for a reason...

  • How can I put ALL my music back into one folder? I have 3 external drives and my music is all over the place. I can't backup my music because it will not search for all my songs.HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

    How do I move ALL my music in iTunes back to its original space on my desktop. I have music on my desktop, music on an external hard drive and some saved on a flash. I cannot backup my music because I cannot locate it. I have 4 separate music libraries (same songs) but don't know where to begin to get my music and libraries back in order. CAN SOMEONE SHOW ME THE WAY HOME?

    Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
    You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
    Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
    Select “Consolidate files.”Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
    To create folders (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Audiobooks, and so on) inside your iTunes folder, and place all your imported media files in the appropriate folders, select “Reorganize files in the folder ‘iTunes Media.’”
    Locate your iTunes files
    Do either of the following:
    Find out where a file is stored: Select the item in iTunes, and choose File > Get Info. The path to the file is shown at the bottom of the Summary pane (next to Where).
    Show the file in Windows Explorer: Select the song, and choose File > Show in Explorer.

    Thank you for your attention

    Adobe has been trying this and the product is called Muse ( Web design software | Download free Adobe Muse CC trial ).  It doesn't give you the control over the code that most developers prefer but it could help bridge the gap for design if that is what you are looking for.

  • When I reply to an email, if I hit enter the line to the left breaks and the message goes all over the place and the recipient cannot read it.

    My friend tells me my answers to her emails go all over the place on the email and she cannot read them. What can I do to prevent that from happening?

    You might try going to edit on the top line. In the drop down window you will find "attachments". click on that and in that drop down window click on "always send windows friendly attachments" This solve a similar problem for me.

  • File search - files and projects all over the place

    I have not developed a standard set of scratch locations for all of my files, projects, autosaves, etc. As a result, I have media and project files all over the place on my computer and I now spend most of my time searching. I thought Bridge might help me search for and consolidate all relevant CS3 and CS4 files on all of my drives so that I can then place them into some standard scheme.
    When I do a search from the file menu "find" by criteria I drop down a list of various files, but no project files from After Effects, Premiere, Audition, etc. Does Bridge have a feature that will find and move all my files? 

    I don't think bridge will search across different drives although have read Lightroom will.  Bridge searches from where you start your search and then goes down the  directory from there.  Since I have all my pictures on one drive can't say how that would work it other programs are below it in the directory tree.
    If you have Vista is it very fast at searching.  It searchs across drives if they are all indexed.  The advanced seearch will find keywords "tags" in MS talk.

  • My cursor is moving all over the place like someone else is controlling it, it has gone thru my mail and deleted everything. Sometimes it works ok, what should I look at?

    My cursor is moving all over the place and it is almost acting like someone else is controlling the track pad. When I was opening and deleting mail this morning and I stopped on an email I wanted to read it went ahead and deleted it and all the others that hadn't been opened yet.What should I look at to fix this problem, I already tookk it to a computer repair that couldn't find a virus of any sort. And, it sometimes works fine.

    Have you tried adjusting the tracking and scrolling speeds for the trackpad? You can find that in Sys Preferences.
    You may also want to reset the PRAM. To do this shutdown the machine. Hold down with your left hand the option and command keys, power the machine on and immediately with your right hand hold down the P key with your little finger and the R key with your index finger, so you have the option+command keys and the P and R keys held down, wait until you hear the Apple chime twice then release all keys, let the machine boot up. Try this and see if it helps. If you contiune to have this issue I would suggest taking it to the Apple store ASAP and have a Genius remedy this issue. Hope this may help.

  • HT1926 I was prompted to install iTunes 11.1.4 this morning. It failed (first time EVER) with the comment that 'msvcr80.dll' was not available. Upon searching for that .dll in my computer, I found it to be all over the place! Thoughts?

    I've NEVER had a version update fail. I did go to 'Tools' and download for a manual install of this update as the info screen suggested. It, too, failed. After searching for the 'missing' msvcr80.dll on my computer, I found it all over the place!
    Ran a malware & virus scan with nothing evil popping up.
    Tried going back to a restore point before a previous update and doing the install. It failed.
    OS: Vista Home Premium x64, SP2 (and current with all MS updates)
    Now I'm pretty nervous re: syncing with ANYTHING-especially my iPod that has all my music I teach from at work.

    1. Apple has posted their solution here: iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows- Unable to install or open - MSVCR80 issue.
    2. If the Apple article does not fully resolve the problem for you, then try Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates - MSVCR80.

  • HT203301 iPhone 4S compass 180° out and other times all over the place after ios7 update. Anybody else had this?

    Since updating to iOS 7 the compass on my iPhone 4S is all over the place but mainly 180° out tried calibrating rebooting etc etc and no difference.!

    Nope, i generally hate iTunes for it being annoying and incredibly "damaging" to the computer (slows my computer down a shitload when booting atleast), so I've avoided it at any costs till now. Shame apple "forces" us to use their more "******" apps in order to "guard" ourselves against stuff like this... I'll survive, the most important pics are on facebook, and the apps and contacts I can easily replace. For my part Apple has one life less when it comes to me buying another product from them.
    Thanks for all the replys , i appreciate a community like this!

  • My iPhone 5 has really sporadic battery percentage that jumps all over the place and every so often the phone turns off

    Hi guys!
    I'm having trouble with my iphone 5, the battery percentage jumps all over the place. It will be down at 14% and then I plug the charger in and it jumps to 50%, it jumps around without me plugging the charger in. Today it actually turned off twice and had the red icon to plug it in and when I plugged it in it had turned straight on and was at 27%.
    Any ideas what could be causing this? Its really annoying because when I'm out I'm not really able to rely on the battery indicator being correct.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
    Russell

    Hi Boris,
    That sounds really similar! I'm not sure what to so about it, I bought a mobile battery pack to charge my phone while I'm on the go as this seems to make the percentage instantly jump back up again. If I don't get any ideas on here ill probably take it in to an apple store and see if I get any joy there. I'll let u know the outcome if I do go to a store, maybe I can at least buy one at a reduced rate or something. I got my iphone 5 on the day of release so I'm outside warranty too :(

    I have a comment.  I am very upset with Photoshop and all your tutorials regarding the quick select tool.  I have watched many tutorials and read instructions until I am blue in the face.  This tool does not work.  It is all over the place and all of your tutorials make it look so simple.  How can you advertise this as a viable tool when it just doesn't work?

    It is all over the place and all of your tutorials make it look so simple.
    This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.
    How can you advertise this as a viable tool when it just doesn't work?
    Concluding something does not work because you fail at using it is not necessarily always justified.
    The Quick Selection Tool certainly has limitations, but your post seems to be more about venting than trouble-shooting – otherwise you might have posted an image where you failed to get an expected result.
