Hello all, I don't know if anyone's had this problem before. I've been trying to do some recording wth my band on my PC and I keep keep getting "Clicks & Pops" over the top of the tracks. It sounds a bit like crackle you get on old vinyl LP's but a lot harsher sounding.

I'm running a Pentium 4 1.8GHz with 512Mb of RAM.
Soundcard is M Audio 2496.
Software: VegasPro 1.0a
Operating System Win98 SE.

I've tried just about everything & I can't get rid of it. Any ideas?

Cheers.
 
I would guess it could be the drivers you are using in Vegas. Vegas 1.0 is not capable of ASIO that I rememeber, but I know Vegas 4 is because I owned it. ASIO will do better with latency and other issues. How are you setup currently?
 
I get those crackling noises when I forget to switch the clock back to Internal from S/PDIF after recording from the digital source.
 
Doesn't support ASIO Drivers you say, that would most probably be it. I've been using the ASIO drivers on my soundcard and I had no idea. I'm doing an upgrade soon, hopefully to Cubase, hopefully I won't have any problems from then on. Thanks for your help people, it is much appreciated.
 
Well, I was throwing a guess out there. I imagine you can't select ASIO drivers in Vegas 1, so you're most likely using Microsoft Sound Mapper or Classic Wave Driver or something to that effect. I don't know for sure as I don't have Vegas 1 around here. Using ASIO drivers should give you lower latency, and *may* help with pops/click/etc. Pops and clicks usually mean the system can't keep up with what's trying to be processed. This can happen for a number of reasons - bad drivers, wrong drivers, hardware incompatibilities, and so on.

If you do jump into Cubase, you should be happy. I'm using Cubase SX 2.2 and am loving it. You'll hear a fair share of good and bad around here, but things have seen running smooth for me. Good idea would be to search the forums here - you'll have a lot of reading and some good input from some good people.
