Any and all audio that is played back crackles in Logic Pro X

I have an iMac (27 inch, Late 2013) with 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB of RAM, and 1 TB of storage.
I am running OS X Yosemite (version 10.10.2) and Logic Pro X (version 10.1.0).  I have tried updating them both and from what it looks like they are the latest versions.
The problem is that any type of audio coming from Logic Pro X now crackles.  Originally it only used to do this through my speakers and that was just because I thought my song was too loud.
It is now doing it through my headsets as well even if I play just one note of a software instrument with very low volume
The only thing I have messed with is the I/O buffer size because I heard that could be the problem.  While increasing it to 1024 does lessen the crackle it is still highly noticeable.
Please help.  I've been streaming my production of music but now I can't because it will hurt everyones ears as well as my own.

Howdy MusicGuy220,
If you are having an issue with audio playback quality, such as your crackling noise, in Logic Pro, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

  • I had to restore my iPhone 4 and now all my pictures are gone. I don't have them backed up to my laptop, and I thought that they automatically backed up to iCloud but I'm not sure. I had a lot of pictures that i desperately want to get back PLEASE HELP

    You should be importing pics to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.  Nothing should only be on your iphone.  You should keep everything on your computer.
    If you have failed to do this, then they are gone.
    You can try restoring from backup.

  • Audio doesn't play back through DAE audio tracks

    I work on Digidesign HD hardware and Logic as a front end and a problem has crept in over the last week or so.
    I will be working on a song and suddenly with no warning Logic freezes for about 30sec or so. After this all audio files playing back on DAE tracks will not playback or white noise plays back from those track. The DTDM tracks and instruments tracks work fine. This happens wether i have a couple of tracks on the go or loads. It's like the DAE audio playback side crashes but all other things still play back through the DAE so it half works.
    PLEASE PLEASE help as i have to reboot Logic everytime and 10-20 mins later it happens all over again.
    Thanx

    Just some quick thoughts....I'm not a "techie", but have had my share of softwaretrouble!!
    It could be that Logic is set to global 16bit - and you try to play back 24bit files. Had kind of same problem a year ago, but don't remember if it was Logic OR ProTools that gave this result (played for a while...then a burst of white noise). But the crash...no. This is probably caused by other components. It's usually a good thing to trash the Logic preference file and restart. Then check preferences>audio>drivers>DAE that the global bitrate is set as desired (according to your already recorded files). The DAE preferences don't contain that much information, but could be helpful to trash too. Just remember to set the playback buffersize to a reasonable amount for your setup.
    Hope this will help.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    *Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • IPhone 6 clicking noise coming from home button and also a little loose..anyone else have this issue or suggestions on how to handle it? Any and all suggestions are appreciated

    It seems as if when I push my home button there is a loud click or a clicking noise that shouldn't be there.  If I push the home button in certain areas or kind of on the side it's not so bad.  Also it seems as if the button is kind of loose or wiggles a little bit and can also feel the little silver ring and seems as if it's either not on properly or the home button is sunken in pretty good.  I was at the Apple Store and checked out some display models and didn't notice it on those and they all felt solid.  Has anyone else had this issue or experienced this?  Any and all suggestions will help greatly...I just want to know if it's normal or how I should go about taking care of it...thanks!

    ok...the doctor is in!....well, yes I agree with other posts concerning "clicky" crunchy touch id/home buttons...ah... we do swaps, cleanings, alcohol wipes....NO NO NO! yes dirt can and will trap inside the extreme minor spaces around the home button and the screen cutout..yes twirling a q-tip round the button only stuffs grime deeper in, but can clean the edge...in this case, that crunch you hear (new out-of-box), its a very popular notice that most do hear a crunchy glass-like snapping sound...being that the touch id does have a sensor ring on the outer side, the actual noise your hearing is ........wait for it......MISS-ALLIGNMENT!!!! yes... pop that sucker open, remove bracket....what do you see??. touch id pressed thru and adheared around the ends of the button...and also most cases, not perfectly aligned..that noise is the actual ring brushing against the screen hole cutout causing metal and glass to bind against eachother... re-seating the button will correct the issue..being that theyre so close together, the slightest miss-alignment can cause that annoying crunchy click sound. find a swap that doesn't...ok that one works but now the silent switch is loose!!!!! ive seen it all

  • Are there any digital/video frames that will play .mov files?

    are there any digital/video frames that will play .mov files?

    Hi
    Not understanding Your Question - I can only guess
    .mov - are no specific Video Format (Codec) it is a container (read folder) and can hold Codecs many program can use and NOT.
    QuickTime Player use to open many of them - try this and if it opens then Open Inspector [ cmd + I ] and read
    • Video Format (Codec): nnnnnnnnnn
    • Frame Rate: yyyyyyy
    What does they say
    When QT-Players don't open - I use VLC-Player (Google it and download for free). It use to take most of the Codecs.

    many thanks.
    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

    6 rows selected.From a book by Damir Bersinic:
    An easy shorthand enables you to remember the distinction between ANY and
    ALL. If a query condition is >ANY, each row in the result set is greater than the lowest value returned. When a query is >ALL, each row in the result set is greater than the highest value returned.
    He meant ; If a query condition is >ANY, each row in the result set is greater than the lowest value returned by the subquery. Didn't he?
    I couldn't find ANY and ALL operators in 10g SQL Reference? Are these operators being replaced by anything?

    for_good_reason

    Look this
    >ANY------- means more than minimum
    Ex: sql> select empno,ename,job from emp
    where sal>ANY(select sal from emp job='CLERK');
    w/o using >ANY the query will be
    sql>select empno,ename,job from emp
    where sal>(select min(sal) from emp job='CLERK');
    >ALL-------- means more than the maximum
    Ex: sql> select empno,ename, job sal from emp
    where sal> ALL(select Avg(sal) from emp Group by deptno);
    w/o using >ALL the query will be
    sql> select empno,ename, job sal from emp
    where sal> (select max(Avg(sal)) from emp Group by deptno);

    Apple Senior tech lady deleted all my external drive data while sorting out other problem. How can I restore all my photos , music etc back to my Mac Pro?(I am so scared, I haven't connected iPhone to sync! Please help)

    It was tele tech. I couldn't open my Page Numbers etc. Frist tech chat idiot - following dumping few things in bin, asked me yo upgrade to Yosemite. But the problem still persists. This morning I was asked to do it via telephone and like yesterday, after wasting 20 min, I was put to this apparent Tech Queen ( my foot!). She eventually decided to reinstall  Yosemite asked me to connect my external drive while I connected to her. She was moving cursor asking me to move files and delete and I followed her like a dummy. It took 3/4 hours and she called me 3 times once the lengthy process was completed. I suspected from the beginng for the fact that why should be asking me to click all my backup from the very beginning! Eventually she said I deleted... Or someone else or may be my children ! It was a blatant lie. I run my small business from home and I was simply staying in front of the Mac whole day! Children were at school. Then she said I must have used another computer! I only have laptop and the iPad. I will talk to their manager first thing in the morning. In the mean time please let me know as to how can I transfer photos, music etc back to my laptop from my Iphone and IPad .? I am will connect to laptop as I am worried the new BLANK iPhoto may supersede iphone/iPad stuff? Will it? Please let me know. I am not a very tech savvy person. My son who could help me, is in Manchester Uni and Inam in London.
