Re: Issue with Recording Mic after Updating to 64-bit Version

Are the drivers of your USB mic 64bit? This could be an issue..... The Yeti doesn't operate on drivers. The problem just went away after I switched the audio format from WAV to AIFF. I actually switched it back now and it works fine. I asked a friend of mine and he said it was probably a timecode s...

Re: Seeking CPU Advice

What audio interface are you using? a good interface with good ASIO drivers can squeze all the performance out of your rig. I'm not using any audio interface at the moment. Mostly programming synths and occasionally recording samples with the Blue Yeti (USB mic). Like I mentioned above, I had a cra...

Issue with Recording Mic after Updating to 64-bit Version

Hi All, I have been using a 32-bit version of Live, and decided to update to the 64-bit version yesterday. Since then, when recording with a microphone (I am using the Blue Yeti USB mic) I have been getting rhythmic clicks/dropouts, and cannot figure out how to resolve it. This is definitely an issu...
