Occasional noise burst that creeps into the recording

[Korhan]

Hi there,

Sometimes I have this noise burst that lasts 1-2 seconds happening when I work with Live, regardless of the version (happened with Live 10 as well). I thought it was some sort of a driver issue with my MOTU Ultralite, but it happens with my Sound Devices MixPre-6 and even Push... and sometimes when I use the Mixpre as input and Push as output. Occasionally, this manifests itself as very short thuds, which go away when I turn audio off and then back on in Live. I don't have such issues with other audio software. I had this with my older laptop and the 2021 M1 Macbook Pro as well. I kind of think it might be a Live issue, but don't want to arrive at conclusions.

Anyone experiencing the same issue? It's pretty random. Sometimes doesn't happen at all, sometimes every 4-5 mins.

I have the same problem, but no solution yet. have you found anything that might help?

Not a third-party plug-in that isn't happy? Some make noise if they're not registered or the like. Never heard a thud though...

I think the key is to set audio inputs, outputs, sample rate etc before you start working on anything, including loading a set. This seems to have solved the issue.

I have recently toured with a Laptop Push 3 modular setup where the modular would go in Push 3 inputs and then into Live. Haven't had any issues, but then, I wasn't recording anything.

I've had my fair share of troubles with Live, though not exactly the same issue. Have you tried tweaking any settings within Live or on your audio interfaces?
