I get terrible crackles when I overdub audio over virtual instrument performances.

Powerbook 1.5 ghz g4 15" 512mb/ Tiger/ Firewire 410 (latest driver)
Cubase SX1/ Sampletank 2

What Disk and audio buffer settings etc should I be using?

I'm on 12 disk buffers, 128kb disk buffer size and 512 samples audio buffer. I tried 8 disk buffers 1st and it seemed better but then it resumed the crackles. There's loads of system memory left. Not even got any effects or EQs running.

Sampletank runs fine normally & Audio records fine normally, even with sampletank running idle in the background. It's when you overdub audio over a midi piece that sampletank is playing, that the thing crackles.

Is it a matter of buffers?

Have you set up the CPU to max operations, disable NAP? If not, do so.

Are you running the files from your internal hard drive? If so, run for a firewire drive NOW!

Next possibilities are the 410 or Cubase, but it's better to let people in the know having a go at it. I'm not omniscient wink.gif
