I'm using the Ozone with a 12" Powerbook, 1.5 gigs, PowerPC version obviously.
Trying to record guitar tracks w/ my Gibson ES-335, I get popping/clicking sounds randomly and it's driivng me insane. I thought M-Audio made products that didn't do this. Let's see, the hard drive is a 7200RPM 100 gig. I tried switching guitar cables, but nothing. The levels are fine, there is no clipping. But the clicking that rears its ugly head is driving me nuts. Can anyone help? Thanks

Clicks means something digital is at the source of the issue. Either your buffer settings are too low (low latency, high CPU strain) or you should really use an external drive for audio files… As You give a different hard drive in your set up description I don't know if the 7200 is internal or external now.
Also, how many tracks are on the go at the same time? -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home

Also, how many tracks are on the go at the same time? Hi, thanks for the reply. The hard drive is internal. I had the original drive swapped for a 7200rpm 100 gig model. Also, the application in question is Garageband. When I'm working in Garageband I have made it a habit to lock all tracks I'm not currently working on. Even still, if I create a new project and just have the guitar track I can still hear it. I don't think it's high CPU strain. no other applications are running. You think maybe there's a conflict while using the bluetooth keyboard? The fact that the wireless is enabled? I don't see where in Garageband I can set specific latencies. Thanks again. I am so ready to throw the Ozone out the window.
