Fellow musicians and engineers,
Does anyone have any experience with the Echo cards? Specifically the Mia? I've been using one for a week or so now, and I'm pretty happy with what I'm getting out of it (using Cool Edit 2000 to record high resolution tracks right now) except for one caveat --
I've only noticed this problem while I'm auditioning a recording. Occasional pops and crackles, but even more anoying: if I adjust the output volume from the Mia control panel sometimes sliding the level causes more pops and crackles with the output occasionally going into a superdrive pop-and crackle mode where it sounds like I'm playing the recording through a kazoo. if I leave the software volume slider there, then go to Cool Edit and stop/start the playback suddenly it sounds crisp and clean again!
This is whacky! Could I have a bad card? Should I be using something other than an Echo Mia in the first place? (I still have a week or so to return it to G.C. if I can find a better sollution.) Thanks in advance for any ideas or sugegstions!!!!!
