Hi all. Having some issues with my recording set up. Running a decent enough PC (i7, 16g ram), with an M-Audio Fasttrack C400 into Cubase 8.
In the last 12 months, Cubase will have moments where it sounds like it's running through a step filter, spitting out bits of sound, before coming good and running normally. No excessive amounts of plugins or ram.usage to be seen. Dial defrag now and then to keep it clean, recorded audio on a seperate drive. It's gotten more frequent of late, and the input channel now gives off 2 pops semi-regularly with no provocation.
Is it just time to upgrade? Has the hardware finally shit the bed?
