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

Or your digital sync source is set incorrectly. There should only be a single master for the digital sync source. |

How much RAM do you have? I suggest getting an external 7200rpm firewire drive for audio files. OSX will allway use part of your system disk for virtual memory. when you open Garage Band and and any virtual instrument or effect more virtual memory is needed. OSX may delay the recording/playback to handle it's house keeping. I also have a Powerbook, I had pops and clicks until I added a dedicated audio drive, and tweaked the DAWS bufferes if need be.
