Distorted audio related to Aggregate Devices?

[Bodega.]

Hi all,

I've been having problems since updating to 8 when recording from external inputs. Often, perhaps half of the time, I will get a severe crackling/distortion on inputs, which isn't just a monitor problem - the crackling goes to tape. The only cure I've found is to either switch the audio engine off/on, change the driver in Preferences or restart. From the sound of it I'm inclined to think it's due to sample rate differences, since I use a RME Babyface and a MOTU Traveler together via Aggregate Devices ( Mac OS 10.6.8 ) .

Is this a known problem? And if so, is there a solution beyond just restarting the audio engine all the time?

I use both Live and Logic Pro on a daily basis and I've never had that problem with Logic, that I can recall.

thanks in advance!

I remember having this problem a while ago.
Can you select your soundcard directly instead of ussing the Aggregate Device ?

[Bodega.]

I can - no problem there - but within my setup it doesn't really benefit me to do so.

Well, it cured my problem selecting the sc directly.

[Bodega.]

It might solve the problem here in the short term but my setup is pretty reliant on having both interfaces.

Is that a confirmed bug?

[Bodega.]

Bump.

Anyone from Ableton have thoughts on this?
