BT,
It's like this...

Tascam is asking computer:
-Hey man, give me a six pack of that fine Yuengling.
Computer says:
-My mama said I can only give out 2 at a time....

Two weeks later....

Sexy red Focusrite shows up.
-Hey computer! I am so cool, I have multiple personalities, they even gave me two driver licenses! Give me a six pack of that fine Yuengling!

Computer replies:
-Look dear, I can give you 2 bottles per person. That is what my mama told me. So you get 4 bottles instead of 6.


Two weeks later... level 2 Dell rep shows up.

-Hey computer why you don't want to give more than 2 bottles per these fine characters?
-My mother....
-STOP please. Your mother passed away 25 years away and you inherited this bar. No more playing games and throw that hand written note down the drain.

What you can try... Get a free screen recording software. Open Task Manager>Details
Start playing YouTube or whatever you are playing for testing purposes. Pull task manager to the front so you can see what is happening. Start recording until spike happens. That way you can pinpoint which process is causing that and know if it is Tascam or Dell wasting your time.
What other spectators of the thread think of this idea? I know there is a bunch of "Event recorders". But I think what I offered is more user friendly.


I use this screen recorder paid... They have a free one that can do the job.
