I have a Pentium 2.8 gHz with a VIA P4PB 400-L motherboard and I just got an Echo Gina 3G soundcard and a KSM27 mic so I could record directly into my computer. However, the Gina for some reason caused every sound on my computer to play in slow motion with a low pitch.

I can't figure out what's causing this, and I've tried reinstalling and playing with the driver settings. I was thinking it might be a conflict with my motherboard, and I am terrible about selecting parts online and building computers. So.... I was thinking about getting a Dell. Would that be a bad choice for recording on my computer? Eventually I want to have a keyboard or a keyboard controller and some virtual instruments plugged into the Gina, but for now I'd just be playing on my acoustic guitar.

Does anyone else have a nice setup for recording songs on the PC? I have Acid Pro 4.0f and 5.0a (but 5.0a isn't really working).

If I bought a Dell it would be one of the XPS gaming systems with crazy silly fast everything, because that's the only one my brother would help me pay for.

Thanks for any help!

Also, would having the Gina 3G and the Audigy 2 ZS both installed cause conflicts? Or would I just have to set the Gina as the default for all PC sound?

This would be better placed in the Phil O'Keefe *Project Studio* or David Frangioni *Studio Tech* forum. But, ...

I'm not sure if you are recording with one card and playing with another. Here are some things to consider...
- Each card has it's own internal clock. Soem cards can supply their clocks via an external connector for other cards to use. That way they have exact timing with each other.
- If you record at a higher frequency than you play back, then you will have a very noticable difference. Recording at 48kHz and playing back at 44.1kHz, for example.
