Audio pops and doubling...

Hello,

I found an old external hard drive that had some audio files of some music I made. I dragged all the audio files from the hard drive to their own tracks and gave it a listen. They sounded fine. Then I saved and went to replay it and now Logic is making some weird clicks, pops and this stutter/doubling effect that makes it listen-able.

They are audio files from Sonar. They are wav files. Does it matter that I brought them into a mac?
 
Hmm. I have suspected this before. What I forgot to mention was that when I was draging the files into the tracks there was a little error window that would pop up. It said something about not having permission and that I would no be able to save.
 
That error window shouldn't have anything to do with it. Since they are WAV files that means they are one complete file, not a folder of file contents. They should've transferred over all in one piece. Cyrano is right -- the hard drive could be dying. You also might not have enough processing power to play the files in Logic, but I doubt that.
 
Its nine tracks of audio. I hope I have enough power to do it. I mean I have had more tracks than that before.
 
Does it play smoothly when you just solo one track?
 
In other projects. Yes.
In this specific project. No
 
What if you try to open the file from a different drive? Sometimes the drive isn't fast enough to play audio smoothely, especially is the drive is an external USB and is plugged into a hub.
 
If I remember correctly. I was having problems dragging the audio file from the external harddrive to my computers hard drive. You know onto the desktop.

Also the problem seems to only happen after I save.
 
Hmm... that's a tough one. Sounds like it could be a software problem, but is most likely the drive. Anybody else, thoughts?
 
Im going drive. I just tracked some guitar and programmed some drums. Then another guitar track. No problem.

Now some bass when I get some free time.
