audio glitches - not good.

[elemental]

I'm getting very annoying audio glitches, and CPU meter is not super-high... about 50-70% although when it goes higher than 70-75% it gets really annoying.

I have a two-bar loop, and every time it does 4 bars theres a noticeable glitch at the beginning of the bar. It ruins the whole flow of the tune!

I'm using: Sony Vaio P4 2.4Ghz, 512Mb, Carillon external firewire drive (7200rpm) and MOTU 828 Mk1.

As a test ,,did you try using audio files that are in your internal drive?

if you're using mme or dx drivers have you tried adjusting the input and output latency sliders?

I getting this type of glitches too!

I am running on a 1GHz Powerbook with either MOTU 896 or Mbox and often see glitches when running at around 60% CPU bandwidth.

This happens in DP as well as in Live.

This is worse when running at low buffer settings (low latency).

I am guessing that the time it takes to shuffle data in and out of the buffers is not reflected in the CPU bandwidth display (?) - either that, or there is a "peak" in the CPU usage that is too fast to show up on the meter.
