Crackling and popping.

[potterawesome81]

Hey there, I have been trouble shooting for weeks now someone PLEASE HELP!!!! . I purchased a high end gaming PC to try to solve this problem but it still persists. Every single time I record a new track the playback pops and crackles. I understand this is a common problem and I have seen every single walk through on the subject on You tube and its been somewhat helpful but it has not solved the problem. I have been through every possible buffer size variation, I have been put in countless hours troubleshooting trying to resolve this. For the love everything I just want to make music then hear what I made. Is it my audio Interface ? Scarlett Solo 2nd gen ? My speakers are Edifiers, my microphone is a Behringer B-1, my midi is an Alesis v161 Is there a device I can buy to ix this issue ? I have exhausted any information I can find from Google or Youtube please help!

Hi potterawesome81, sorry to hear about your troubles!

By PC I assume you mean a Windows machine? What Windows version?
Also, are you using Focusrite ASIO drivers when you use Ableton Live? Which version?

[Mark Williams]

Enure you are using the Correct Focusrite driver for your generation Scarlett, Scarlett MUST be plugged into its own usb port NOT via a hub. Focusrite Asio USB selected within Ableton Audio?

I had that problem a few days ago with a new computer. Turns out I had selected a drum set that is called 45 Vinyl, yep it has pops and cracks just like a 45 rpm record. Switched drum sets, no pops..
