Crackles, Clicks, Dropouts.... Final Fix - bit depth, sampling rates mismatched

I've been getting used to my new setup: a new W7 laptop w/ i5 processor, 6mb ram, etc. and a Focusrite Saffire 6 USB interface and Sonar 8.5.

I had no problems with mixing and 1 organic project, but then I began importing audio to build another project. I started getting crackles, clicks, crashes and dropouts during recording and it was driving me nuts! I've done everything - searching the forums, optimizing Windows, unplugging other USB stuff, reinstalling drivers, and cursing :eek:.

In short, I imported some audio that did not match my current recording bit depth. I made sure all the bit depth and sample rates matched everything in the project. Problem solved! :D

I hope this helps somebody :)
 
Sample rates, Clock source, and/or Latency issues will always be the Snap/Crackle/Pop culprit...

Good info post :)
