on my previous computer, i had the buffer set around 512 and it was able to handle roughly 50-80 tracks playing simultaneously while recording 1 live track on top. now, on my brand new HP with windows 7 (previously ran xp) i have to set the buffer up past 900 in order for it to not crackle while handling a SINGLE KICK DRUM.
i haven't experimented any further with how much it can handle beyond that single kick, as a buffer set past 900 means noticeable latency while recording any dubs... essentially rendering my machine useless to me.
the crackle is the issue. i'm not sure if there are settings located elsewhere on my computer that i can manipulate, as i can't find any that go beyond the choice of 5.1 surround or simple stereo outputs. perhaps it's a driver conflict or something?
any help would be appreciated muchly.

Sometimes you have to ensure that your music program is using the right driver mode for your soundcard. I use AISO mode in my program because my audio interface uses the AISO driver... If I try using WDM or something, I have issues. That said, go to your audio settings in Fruityloops and see if you can change driver modes. Set it to each different driver mode and see which one works the best.
As far as buffers, 512 should be plenty... but out of curiosity, can you type out a comparison of your two computers in terms of basic specs like RAM, Processor, and HD RPMs?
