pro tools 9 choppy audio playback

[daniel101]

Using pro tools 7.4 before and this problem never happened but just got pro tools 9 and whenever i arm the tracks in pro tools 9 and turn the mix knob to the right on my fast track pro i get choppy and cracking audio . I have did all the computer optimazations, tried new cords and changed the buffer sizes in pro tools but nothing is working, I have also installed all the drivers anf new updates for pt 9 and fast track pro

I am using new pro tools 9 on windows 7,fast track pro connected through usb port and guitar connected with 1/4 inch cable.

Download the reaper trial and see if you get the same problems. If you so not have the problems, quit using protools and use reaper...

 

[Steenamaroo]

is that really the best advise you could give him??

OP, have you trashed preferences? if not, google it.

Do you get the same choppy audio if you play itunes/media player through your fast track?

Do you get the same choppy audio if you use protools with your built in audio?

 

[daniel101]

the trashing preferences worked thanks alot much appreciated!

 

[Steenamaroo]

any time
