Hi everyone,

I had a bit of a negative experience with recording and I'm wondering if someone could help. I spent a good, long time recording multiple tracks on the Mixcraft software, a Dell Inspiron laptop and a microphone. Everything was going fine until close to the end of the project when the tracks started sliding out of synch. I looked on the help file and, after attempting to solve the problem by downloading the newest version of my audio driver (Sigma), I discovered that apparently the problem is with my sound card. I attempted to fix the problem with their manual solution, but it was quickly becoming more trouble than it was worth and so I gave it up for a while. Does anyone have any suggestions what I can do? Should I buy a new soundcard? Should I use another program? I'm obviously quite ignorant of this subject, so please assume nearly full ignorance of all things "recording" in your answers and thank you very much in advance to anyone who can help.
