Thinking my m-audio firewire unit is an issue we have been experiencing a few probs with 5.03. Fairly consistently i have been geeting static like audio pops and clicks after recording a clip. these pops do not appear as noise in clip view but are no doubt etched in the time of the loop - certainly more frequent and numerous as more clips are recorded, Sometimes it won't happen. As well i hear similar pops when i slide sample rate slider- secondly when set to output midi while controlling my bass players live 5.02 pc his metronome slips time. midi delay does not seem to remedy problem. When i set my mac live 5.03 to receive a midi clock from external sequencer like from a drum machine it locks on perfectly. What gives? any help is appreciated-- we want to use this set-up in a upcoming gig and this just won't cut it
thanks
