One handy bit of advice when I had those kind of problems is that the Hard Drive on which you are recording to needs to have a LOT of room to record audio. When it starts to fill up, it has a hard time finding sectors to write to and tosses incoming data all over the drive (and this is in real time) hence the irritating pops and glitches. One answer is using an external Firewire or even USB HD. If you are already using an external then make sure there is at least 20 to 25% available space free on it. Also before recording or using Live in any way go ahead and use the "repair disc permissions" function on your OS drive which works more or less like defragging on a PC. Hopefully this helps.
