I posted this in the Cubase forum a week or so ago, but it might get better traffic (and therefore responses) here.
This is the old thread though

Anyhow, I did a couple of tests and it was working fine a couple of times last week. And now, I tried recording with a condensor mic again (a crappy one) and it did the same skipping and popping it did before. I am posting a sample so you can hear what I'm talking about.

How can I get rid of those stupid clicks and pops? Its not a product of me taxing my system....this was one track and my CPU was running at 1% while I was recording......whats the story?
 
had it at 4...bumped it down to I think 3. In the previous thread I had started at 10, bumped down to 6, gone up to 12....I've tried them all. They ALL do it. I'm not sure I should go any lower than 3.
 
hmm... not really... 11ms is realtime generally speaking... it's just that some people crank it down to 1ms with a crapload of softsynths and plug ins and wonder why thery have problems :)

are you recording to an external hard drive? if that lacie is firewire and youre trying to use a firewire interface at the same time that could cause problems...is that onboard firewire or a PCI card? is onboard sound/soundblaster disabled? using onboard video at all?

those are all I can think of that would conflict at the moment :)

old CRT monotor with your data cable wrapped around it? :)
 
The LaCie is only USB, but as far as I know it is recording onto my internal harddrive. Thats where I open the project files when I start a new project.

Firewire is onboard. sound is disabled, no video...this pc has been stripped down to about as barebones as you would imagine doing.

I do have an awful lot of stuff on this desk so I was wondering if it might be heat related, but I have way less than most people do, so thats probably not the issue.

Did you listen to the sound file I linked to? Its a decent recording (volume gain post-mix seems quite low but whatever) but its only real problem (other than my ghuitar playing) is the presence of those skips. Its really starting to piss me off.
 
I can't listen to the file as my firefox (linux firefox 1.5) just says "unknown plugin"
