Hey,

I am having a problem with reaper, I am trying to record from my Guitar amp the Peavey Vypyr Tube 120W.
It has a build-in audio interface with USB-out. It works fine with Mixcraft 5, but I like to my reaper ofc.
Even normal recording gives me these pops, it seems as if a buffer of somesort is full and a pop comes out.
I also tried ASIO4ALL to get less delay while playing, but this also gets the same pops. Tried numerous settings...
ASIO4ALL says that my amp is 48 kHz and 24-bit. and my windows audio is 32 bits, couldn't change this anywhere.

Also tried it on both my laptop and computer. Both running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1, using integrated sound cards.

I am new to this program and there are a bunch of settings, could you guys help me finding the right settings?

Greetings,

Rik
 
I would venture to guess that the problem is the built-in soundcards. Typically these are POS, which is why an external USB or Firewire soundcard (or an updated internal soundcard) is the preferred update for home recordists.
 
Sorry, no idea. I've heard that ASIO4ALL drivers are not very good, and only a last resort.
 
This is true, but even without the ASIO4ALL drivers it gives me pops and clicks so that's not the problem..
 
Welcome to the world of getting what you have, to work well.

You get pops and clicks, because your computer is not able to handle the software. You can optimize what you have, to make it work as well as possible, but you are limited by the host computer. More ram might help, optimization will help, but an external sound card (interface) that has it's own ASIO drivers, will always out-perform ASIO4All. This is a program used to fake drivers for software that was inadequate years ago. It is just a workaround for the real thing. Not something that anyone should rely on IMO.

ASIO4ALL only fakes your internal card, to act like a designated ASIO audio driver. It is the first thing you should forget about, if you wish to record without issues.
