First post, any help would be greatly appreciated.
I just got the Behringer XR18, running through a mini-mac. I had no issues running a 12 channel Alesis board with my current mac and ableton version. When I first power on the mixer and select my input channel in Live, I get a good tone for about 10 seconds. Then it changes to a weird pulsing latent sound. Any actual tone from the Hammond Sk1 is unrecognizable. Tested with Roland JunoG, and tone coming from monitor is identical. Here is what I have tried:
-Run DAW direct with mixer, not using X Air Edit software
-Run DAW with X Air Edit, output of DAW set to Mac 3.5mm and monitored through headphones
-Run both versions above with monitor off, and recorded. Problem persists on playback
-Increase/Decrease Buffer Size. Improves the problem on increase, but even at 2048 the tone is still unrecognizable.
-High Quality Sample rate. No effect
-Driver Error Compensation. No effect
-Reduced Latency When Monitoring. No effect
-Change out for faster USB cable. No effect
-Test multiple channels, cables, and input instruments. No luck
-Checked for drivers from Behringer, none needed for mac
-Mixer firmware updated
My mac is 5 years old and only has 4GB memory, but I had no issues with the Alesis mixer so I'm struggling to think it's just a slow computer. CPU usage is at 1-2% when I'm playing a single audio track and getting the weird sound. The only time I don't get the sound is in the first 10 seconds after I power on the mixer. I feel like I'm missing something very simple here...ayudame por favor. Thanks
