I purchased CI 1 on friday and was trying to get it up and running with Audacity I was able to get everything going
but while recording with a mic the sound will cut out in randomly for about half a second
is this a problem with CI 1?
Confirm that you are using the driver recommended by your hardware manufacturer. Otherwise use the ASIO4ALL driver, which is free at http://www.asio4all.com. Set it up by navigating to Devices>Device Setup>VST Audio System. At the top you can choose your driver.
You should also raise the latency slider to 2048 samples in your driver’s control panel and see if that helps.
Please run this on your system: http://www.thesycon.de/deu/latency_check.shtml
It is safe and free; I have run it on my own computer.

Other ways:
(Remove CPU hungry VSTi’s
(Change USB ports
(Stop running background tasks
(Use a powered USB hub or connect directly to a computer
If none of this fixes it, most likely it’s time for a new computer.
