what in the fuck is going on ? I opened some simple-ass dj sets (just one song seperated into loops - per set , at the songs original tempo)

the cpu usage is at about 8% , and im getting hideous pops and cracks ...... its just a simple 4 bar sample on loop , why in gods name is it popping and crackling ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!????????????????!?!?

i noticed the same thing on some other simple sets , where im using TOAD VST , a tiny sample based vst...and its popping and crackling too.....so far its happened on the three miniscule sets ive opened thus far

really annoying.

perhaps i have to alter my soundcard settings to compensate for this ?...anyone else noticed the same thing ?

henry,
are you slaving any ReWire Apps along with your 5.0.3?

i was getting this with my m-audio fw after the 5.03 update

so - i closed live, opened the m-audio control panel and my buffer was set at 64!

whacked it up to the standard 256 - better but still not right

it's now at 512 - seems ok

Hello Henry,

What is the asio buffer size settings of the soundcard? And do you have a wireless internet connection active on your Vaio?

THIS IS COMMON! I get this in xppro/audiophile 192 all the time! It happened in lite4.14, all betas5, and is very annoying.........

BUT

I changed the preferences to "use as soundcard" or whatever it's called and it's been ok.

Could you be a bit more specific please? Which preferences? Windows/soundcard set-up/live?

M-Audio....

Do you get the same results when using the laptop's on-board audio?

preferences

plugin

plugin buffer size

as audio buffer

This should not make a difference in what we are talking about, but it seems to have helped.

yup... people are reporting that for the Virus TI as well - "wonder setting", I guess.

I've been having weird problems with my m audio soundcard throughout every version of live 5. I'm considering breaking it in two and buying a new one. any recommendations?

Use a huge hammer, just to be sure you'll get small enough bits so you won't be tempted to repair it !!

I was having all sorts of problems with my M-Audio Ozonic interface.

I was running the analog outputs of the Ozonic into the analog inputs in my digital mixer, which didn't cause the problems, but I thought that I might as well turn my mixer into my soundcard, and eliminate M-Audio from the equation at the same time.

So I stuck an mLAN card in my mixer, dumped the Ozonic, eliminated an unnecessary DA/AD conversion, and things have been trouble-free ever since.

so what's the consensus, don't download the update?

the updates from 5.0 to 5.03 have fixed a number of stability issues and midi recording problems. It's worth the download just to have the arp working that well

I'm away from my laptop at the moment.

Im not using a wireless connection , and I cant use the 'onboard' soundcard on my vaio , because the headphone jack is a dud (see my signature)

I am using ASIO drivers , but i havent checked my buffer settings since they've always worked fine....however , I will go over it and post what I find.

Seems M-audio might be the problem , but then again - isnt M-audio one of the most common external soundcards out there ? Live-lite comes bundled with most of them (m-audio cards) , for gods sake.
