Audio skips & drop outs?

[DigFella]

Everything has been fine with the 3-4 recording sessions I had under my belt using Win. 7. I was looking forward to recording some LP's last night & suddenly out of the blue experienced drop outs & skips during record. The records play fine through the speakers until I hit record. It's not the needle (I tried 3 diff. cartridges), & I don't think I messed with any settings (but who knows?)
I think this has been a past topic & it's something to do with "buffers"? This sound right? I hope that's all it is & is a simple fix so I can get back after it .........
Thanks in advance,

Hi,

Yes, go into your Audio settings and try doubling the number of buffers and also the buffer size setting.

Thanks once again for a fast reply! That seems to have taken care of the problem, but it did take a bit of trial & error to find the right buffer combination. Back in biz for now....I'm sure I'll have more questions down the road
Thanks
