Dear all,
this is my first posting, so please be gentle...  Upgraded from dp3 to dp4 on an imac g4 800mhz. Recording voice with a usb-edirol-ua3d was fine in dp3. But in dp4 noise appeared in recorded voices, with the same hardware/device settings as in dp3. Messing around with buffers etc. has resulted in identifying two different kinds of noise: 'Clicks' every 5-15 seconds like a grain of sand on vinyl. Little 'crackling' sounds, constantly, more so on top of parts with higher amplitude. By playing with ALL the settings in 'Hardware' and 'Studio Configuration' I can either make the clicks or the crackling go away completely, but never the both of them. Am I forgetting something, some settings somewhere, some good old trick, some preferences. Or am I to return to dp3 and OS9? cheers, zimpy |

Hey,
Finally was able to try 640Mbyte RAM on the same machine, which didn't make a difference... Then, and why didn't I try this before, I changed the sample-rate from 44.1 upwards to 48kHz.: The clicks and the soft crackling got a lot less. Then when I tried at 32kHz and the recordings became smooth and without any problem... I tried quite a few other things, but this is were I'm stuck now: 32-good, 44-very bad, 48-plain bad. Doesn't make sense to me... Edirol does standard 48, converting to 32 should give the most problems. If the machine couldn't handle 48ksamples, then why 44 is worse? cheerio
