I'm helping a musician friend dub some of his old albums over
onto CD, and I've run into a snag. Every once in a while, the
file written to the hard drive has a drop-out of about 1/5 of
a second, which results in a pop in the sound -- and, of course,
missing music.
I'm doing the recording with snd on a RedHat Linux 5.1 system
with a SoundBlaster AWE64. My hard drive is SCSI on an Adaptec
host adapter. I've recorded to both wav and aiff formats (I
generally use aiff so that I can edit things with dap.
A couple of solutions have come to mind -- recording to a RAM
drive or putting disk buffers in place, but I haven't been able
to track down documentation on disk buffers. Anyone have a
suggestion?
