mm,

A large part of my problem might be the 2nd partition on my disk. First, the disk is a WD 'green' disk, and I've found a few reports of poor performance compared to 'non-green?' disks. (although the 1.1.0.0 install on the first partition seems fine) Second, it's a 1TB disk, Advanced Format (4096 byte/sector) disk, that is apparently suppose to have partitions aligned on 4096 byte boundaries. Mine isn't, as of now. I tried to do another complete install starting with re-formatting the partition. During install of .net updates, it was obvious the the disk was running much slower (less that 1/2 as fast) than the primary disk in my office computer.
Not sure how this would affect quality reporting, but it certainly seems reasonable that it would affect simultaneous recordings.
I'll try to get the partition aligned correctly, and / or try a different disk, and report back.
