Sorry, i've not been the clearest. The monitors are crackling and popping during music playback when they're connected to my interface which is connected to my laptop via usb. They don't make any noise when only an IEC is connected and they're powered up. They don't even seem to make noise...

That part of my post was aimed towards proving that the problem isn't down to a mains problem or something, they're both on the same ground point and they're not getting any interference at that stage. So I plug the IECs in and turn them on and there's no crackle, so I can assume that it's not...

Bump :)

Hi, i've been having a bit of trouble with a brand new set of KRK Rokits. They're basically humming and hissing as soon as I plug the balanced 1/4" cables into them. They don't hum when they're plugged into mains and they're brand new 6 meter balanced cables. I run from a Line 6 UX1 interface...

I'm just looking at what's gonna be the clearest and most honest for mixing. I know it's all pretty low end stuff, but that can't be helped at the moment! So if anyone can share their personal experiences, comparisons or perhaps add something else to the table, I'd be grateful! Also, sorry if...

Alright man, well I'm running a full version of cubase 5 so I'm hoping thats not the issue. I see what you mean now in regards to cpu useage. I usually close most things off, however AVG is always running, i've never properly looked into closing it off. Updates aren't set to automatic or...

Well your general post concerned computer peformance, I checked all the things you listed including the articles content and it's already optimized for recording audio, i'm not anywhere my cpu limit. It just seemed a bit quicker than addressing every point. Sorry if it bothered you.

No problems with that I'm afraid. In fairness my buffer size wasn't that low to begin with, i was getting about 9ms. I know I don't have the fastest pc around, but i've done similar things on lower spec pcs without these issues :\

Umm do you mean like specification wise? It has 4GB RAM and two hyperthreading processors at 2.8GHZ. 512GBHD at 7200RPM, windows xp 32. It doesn't seem to have any issues handling it. even with multiple instances of guitar rig and other vsts running. :s ALso, I don't think i have another USB...

Hiya I've had my lexicon alpha all of 5 days and have been running into a few problems. First off, since i've had it every so often it'll just stop working and no sound will come through, i have to switch driver and then back again and it'll be good for another while. More recently, it's...

I learned reason before anything else, still my first choice for anything other than audio recording. I gave Record a quick try at a friends house and it's just amazing. It's like everything I learned in reason can be applied straight over to it, which is perfect as I know reason inside out...

Wow, a good use for skull candy ear phones. Never thought i'd see the day! :p

ahh cheers for that, else i'd have probably have gone ahead and got a fast track or an audiophile. I'm quite liking the idea of a Lexicon interface, I've looked at the Alpha and the Lambda, would either of these be good choices? The lamba seems a bit much for what I need, it has quite a few...

Thats great! Thanks a lot for your help! I dont have an interface yet, but i'm now in the market for one... :D

Just wondering if I can take a lead from the stereo outs of my VF16 multitrack recorder to the input of an audio interface and record directly to my computer, if need be? Only asking as otherwise I need to send stuff from the recorder to an external hard drive and then from the drive to my...
