hi all. I'm getting like a crackling noise when I record. I am recording on cubase but I am using an external hard drive? Would THAt have anything to do with it? Or is it just a bad cable or what? please... any insight would be helpful thanks!

Cubase shares codebase with the PC version and contains little OSX specific optimization, for that reason I suggest to my clients nothing less than a G5 class machine for Steinberg products.

Cubase has the highest minimum requirement of all the Mac DAWs. Max out your RAM, and use effects on busses, keep virtual instrument use to minimum.

I never could get SX to behave on my Powerbook, so I moved it to my PC where it runs beautifully.

I moved on and now use Logic, DP, and live6, from my experience I can get 40%-60% more instances of effects and virtual instruments using the other DAWs.

I doubt it's the drive, if it was the cable it wouldn't work at all. I guess you're either overloading the CPU or your audio buffer is set too low. Have a look in this direction.

How many tracks are trying to record at once ?
