Latency as in buffer settings? That's what this sounds like.

That was my first guess as well. I tried four or five different latency settings in the FCA202 Control Panel ranging from 1.0 ms to 15 ms. None of these fixed the problem, but I suppose it's possible the control panel is not actually effecting change. Here is the control panel: the "Latency Select" slider has been tried at multiple values.

This is as close to helping as I can find for you:

When people use Behringer, our words of advice are always, stay clear or good luck.

Are recording on the same drive as the OS? Maybe start looking at optimizing your system now.

I 2nd the idea of using a secondary drive. You can not read and write to the same drive at the same time. Partitioning the hard drive does not count. You need a physically separate drive on it's own ribbon cable or SATA cable. You also NEED to optimize your computer for audio. Look for the Sweetwater guide as well as the Black Viper guide to optimize services.

Consider dumping Audacity for Reaper. You are attempting to generate a multi track recording which is not Audacity's forte even if it is capable of some basic multi track work.

Thanks for the replies. Can someone please provide a link to a guide for optimizing my computer?

Sweetwater has one. Also google Black Viper optimization.

I'm honestly unable to find these using Google. I'm a total newbie so I don't really know which terms to search. I tried "Black Viper Optimization" and got [[url=http://[/URL]="http://www.blackvip…"]Black Viper's Website[/]="http://www.blackvip…"]Black Viper's Website[/] , which seems to have nothing to do with recording.

Update: Recording with Ableton Live eliminates the problem. Why would this be the case?

Even when I record only a single track with Audacity, I still get the stuttering.

That Black Viper website is correct. No it is not an "audio" website per se.
Sweetwater is here :

Audacity is a basic audio editor. It should work for single track recording as well as Ableton. If it doesn't then it is not configured properly or was not set to use your Behr* garbage correctly.
