Clicks and Pops with Apogee Ensemble/Duet since upgrade to OSX-ML

Problems with Clicks and Pops in Logic 9 (9.1.8 64 bit) since I upgraded to
Mountain-Lion (10.8.2) Does not really matter if I change the Buffer from 128
to 512! It is not very often but not acceptable. I made an additional
setup with external HD an installed SnowLeopard again. With this
OS-Version I can run without any problems with Buffer-Sices 128 or 64. Same
problem I had with my DUET as well. Would switch back to SL but some
of the programs I bought from Apple are not compatible with older OS
than Mountain-Lion. I also made a complete new ML installation from
scratch with only Logic Pro 9 and the needed USB-driver for my
Yamaha-CP1 but still the same thing. I do not see any
processor-Problems. I have an iMac (Mid 2010, 2,8Gh i5, 16 Gbyte Ram,
512 Gbyte Crucial SSD) Strange thing is that if I change the amount of threads used from
"Auto" to anything else it seems that the amount of Clicks will change for a
while. But it is not really reproducible and after a short time it reapears. Any idea what I can do to
fix this problem? Could it be that the driver is not that stable than
it was under SL?
Apogee Support told me after some correspondence more or less, that I am the only one with this issue... ?!?!?
I already changed cables, switched to USB-Keyboard instead of bluetooth, disabled WLan, installed a 2nd Harddisk and reinstalled the OSX and LOGIC a couple of times without any effect. The only way to get the Ensemble or the Duet working ist to switch back to SL which can't be the solution as it should be fully compatilbe with Mountain Lion. At least this can be read on the support pages fom Apogee!
Is there anyone with the same kind of problems?

Ok, folks...finally figured it out. Thank you so much for being willing to brainstorm with me on this. Here's the deal:
As I was searched online forums I found some discussions regarding different firewire chips they put into different models of the macbook pro's. Apparently you can have the TI (texas instruments) chip or the Lucent chip, you can discover which by holding down 'apple' and 'S' right after the welcome sound when you're booting up your MBP. As you search through the info it should say TI or Lucent by firewire.
Apparently, the Lucent chip is known for causing issues with different devices...this is the chip I have in my MBP. Someone on another forum said they bought an external firewire bus and just put it between the computer and interface and it solved the problem...so I thought 'what the heck.' I went and bought one and it worked perfect! Crazy.
So, now I need to talk to apple and i'm hoping they'll be willing to swap my chip for a TI one or at least cover the cost of the firewire bus.
Thanks again for helping me out. Hopefully this thread helps the next guy so he won't have to spend 3 months troubleshooting like I did.
God bless

Clicks and popping with recording and USB interface-HELP!!!

I've submitted this twice, got some responses, but has twice been ignored into oblivion. I apologize for the reposts, but this is VERY IMPORTANT, and I've been struggling with this issue for MONTHS now dealing with countless hours of lost time trying to fix it to no avail.
I'll try to include as much detail as possible.
I use:
MacPro 2 x 2.66 Dual-Core Intel Xeon
3 GB memory
Logic Express 8.0.2
245.13 GB empty space on Hard Drive
THE PROBLEM:
When I record, I get computerized clips/pops
http://www.moogiex.com/clickpop.mp3
http://www.moogiex.com/morecackling.mp3
I record via a PreSonus Audiobox USB. This problem did NOT start when I got the AudioBox, but several months after.
When I simply monitor the sound going through the box, the sound is fine.It's something between the Box, and the computer output. My guess is some incompatibility with Logic Express or Core Audio and the AudioBox.
It is NOT the microphone or the cable (the pops occur with anything going in, 1/4", XLR, different inputs).
The clicks START with Logic Express. If there are any recording program open when Logic Express is open, and I record, I get the SAME pops.
It did this both under 10.5.6, 10.5.7, and now 10.5.8.
It is NOT clipping.
When I'm recording with LE:
—There's 1.27 GB of FREE Memory while I'm recording.
—Logic Express is only using 6.7% of CPU while recording (of only one of the four processors), and about 90-95% of CPU space is free on all four processors.
—This happens on ANY audio input, and it doesn't matter how many other tracks, how long it is. I just started a brand new file and it does it.
—This happens when I use ANY input into my computer, but is STARTED by LE.
Here are my Logic Preferences
Core Audio- ENABLED
System Memory Requirement 66.0 MB
Device: AudioBox USB
I/O Buffer Size: 1024
I/O Safety Buffer- UNchecked
Recording Delay: 0 samples
Universal Track Mode- CHECKED
24 Bit Recording- CHECKED
Software Monitoring- CHECKED
Independent Monitoring Level- Checked
Process Buffer Range: Large
ReWire Behavior: Live Mode (Higher CPU Load)
Maximum Scrub Speed: Normal
Scrub Response: Normal
There is *no* driver with PreSonus' AudioBox. It is simply "compatible." Here's what System Profiler says:
AudioBox USB (plugged into my Mac Pro's front bottom port):
Product ID: 0x0301
Vendor ID: 0x194f
Version: 1.08
Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: PreSonus Audio
Location ID: 0x00200000
Current Available (mA): 500
Current Required (mA): 500
Here's what I've tried:
—Disabling CoreAudio, shutting LE 8 off, restarting LE 8, enabling CoreAudio again. This worked ONCE. It hasn't worked since.
—Disabling CoreAudio, shutting LE 8 off, SHUTTING DOWN, RESTARTING, opening LE 8, enabling CoreAudio again. This also worked ONCE. It hasn't worked since.
—"CPU Saving Mode"
—I/O Buffer to 256, 512, and 1024 (default) (IMPORTANT?—speed of popping actually INCREASES with larger buffer?)
—I/O Safety Buffer checked and unchecked
—Changing Recording Delay samples
—Pretty much fiddling with any of the controls
—Disabling Airport does nothing (was previously working fine with Airport running)
—Quit all applications, open up QuickTime (pro) or Audacity, and record something. It records perfectly. I go back to LE and the clicks and pops are gone, but only until I use anything with effects, then the clicks and pops return. This works SOMETIMES.
—Reset the preferences, and that has worked ONCE, and then the clicks and pops came back (albeit not as prominent, but they were still there).
—I trashed all files related to Logic and reinstalled. Worked ONCE.
—Restarting does help, but only temporarily, as soon as any pull is put on Logic, the problems return.
—Using a different USB port. I thought this was the solution because the problem shortly went away with regular use of Logic, but problem came back.
—Uninstalling Logic, Reinstalling Logic Express, same deal.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP. I have a lot of money sunk into all this equipment that's practically useless with this recording issue.

Man, I feel for you on this.
I would love to see what your pops and clicks look like in your waveform. If you can take a snapshot of it and post the pic here that might help the diagnosis.
Your audio files certainly SOUNDS like you have a clocking problem. It really sounds like your CoreAudio driver/MacPro and your USB interface are not locked up in sync - as in: which is master and which is slave? I know some interfaces include a software control panel that allows you to set the status of the interface clock to slave to the computer or to be the master. It sounds like yours doesn't come with drivers but is there any control panel for this Presonus device?
Another place to check is in Applications>Utilities>Audio Midi Setup
On the left under "Properties for <your interface>" what does it say for the clock source?
Also in this panel, to the right it should have a button for "configure device". What happens when you click it? For example in my case it automatically launches my Apogee Duet Maestro control panel. In your case it might launch something similar, although I think you mention that you never installed anything, which I find strange to begin with - that this thing should just work out of the box with no driver at all.
I've struggle with w similar problem with my Apogee Duet, although nothing of this magnitude, maybe 4 or 5 clicks per 3 minutes of audio and these turn out to always be sample drops where 5-10 samples in a row are all the same in the waveform, as if my interface and computer stopped talking for a milli second. I did find that if my Apogee Duet was chosen as the default or system output in the Audio Midi Control Panel I mentioned above then the clicking was more frequent, as if choosing the audio interface for any system output caused a conflict with choosing it for Logic. I thought this was strange but you might want to investigate that further too.
At any rate, it does sound like a digital clock syncing issue to me by the sound of your audio. What effect does changing the sample rate of the recording have on the problem?
Let me know if any of this leads to anything.

Clicks and Pops with X-fi Titanium PCIe

I am having trouble with my X-fi Titanium PCIe where I am getting clicks and pops every so often. The problem is during any audio, music, movies, netflix etc. I am connected thru optical spdif and I have tried with Dolby Digital Live both on and off, and the clicks are always there.
I checked IRQs and the X-fi is sharing IRQ 16 with my video card and a couple other devices. My thinking is that this is the problem, but of course in Windows 7, there is no way to force an IRQ change. My board only has one PCIe x1 slot and I'm not sure what else to do.
I would appreciate any help or input.

Hi MuzicEngineer,
Certain motherboards may allow you to reassign the IRQ of your devices. You might want to check with the motherboard vendor to see if this is possible. Also if you have not already, feel free to write to our Customer Support for assistance.

Clicks and pops with flex time and fades

I am getting clicks and pops on tracks using flex time and fades. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Probably the simplest solution to this bug (it appears to not be creating zero crossed edits when creating a fade over flexed audio) is to cut the area to be faded into small region and render (or bounce in place) the small section, then fade it.

Clicks and Pops in Audio even with High Buffer Values

Dear Community,
I'm running into a problem with my Mac Pro 2008 for which I need urgent help.
I have a Mac Pro 2008 which I use to do some audio production and mixing.
I use 10.8 Mountain Lion for some time now, mainly with Avid Pro Tools 10 and Logic Pro 9.
My audio interfaces of choice are the Echo Audio Audiofire 8 and an Eleven Rack (USB) which I never use simultaneously. For tracking guitars and bass I use the Eleven Rack but for mixing and adding other instruments I use the Echo Audio because of its multichannel capabilities.
I had this configuration for many months / years without any kind of problem and being able to use very low buffer values (128, 64 and even 32 bits) with very low latency values (ideal for tracking guitar with software monitoring).
Now I'm running with problems with audio clicks and pops in all audio streams independently of the audio interface I use.
I've tried every tip I found on the web for optimizing my mac for audio with no success.
Independently of the buffer I establish in Pro Tools or Logic (or any other audio software, for that matters) I always get the same harsh, distorted audio, with permanent clicks and pops. It's the same with pre-recorded audio or when using just an armed track with software monitoring. Even when using just Amplitube 3 in standalone mode, I can't get audio working correctly. Raising the audio buffer to 4096 (!!!) or lowering to 64 is the same. The output get garbled, distorted, harsh, with permanent clicks and pops (on the Audiofire or the Eleven Rack).
I've already tried reinstalling drivers, mangled with all audio preferences possible with no success.
I'm considering, as a final option, to reinstall the OS and all audio software from scratch but this is the very final possibility because of the long long hours needed to do so.
Does anyone have some idea about this?
Could anyone help me?
Best Regards,
Luis Mota

Luis, the sound you're describing does not sound like a clock problem.
Sync set to "Internal"
To check you can go to Settings/Synchronization uncheck "Auto Enable external sync".
I'm guessing like most Mac users you have the operating system set to auto update, if so the system may have updated on it's own so you can't be sure you're running the same system that worked perfectly in the past.
I disable every "auto" b.s. Apple/OSX tries to force on users... for pro audio users, it generally causes problems.
Here's some things to try.
1. Set the Mac's audio preferences to use only built-in audio for both recording and playback. Do so in both System preferences/sound and Audio-MIDI Setup. Turn off the Mac, unplug and audio interface you have hooked up. Restart the Mac, Plug in an audio interfaces (doesn't matter which one) open Logic, go to Preferences Audio and select the installed interface, even if it's selected already, set buffer to 256.
Any difference?
2. Create a New User account and try running Logic from there.

Clicks and pops when running Mainstage 2 with Guitar Rig 5 in Mavericks.

**I've read that this may be unsolvable but I hope someone can help me**
Hello everyone,
I very recently upgraded to the new Macbook Pro 15" Retina as my 2010 Macbook running Snow Leopard is on it's way to Apple heaven. This means I am now on Mavericks and **** is ******, it's my fault for not upgrading sooner so I am to blame in some respects. Here is my issue.
My set up is fairly basic:
Mainstage 2.2.2 (I can't upgrade to 3 as the synths we use are not 64bit compatible.. another nightmare due to my lack of upgrading in the past)
Axiom 64 MIDI controller via USB
Guitar Rig 5 controller via USB (audio interface)
In Mainstage we have the L output for virtual instrument parts and the R output for guitar parts. These are globally panned L and R.
The L output from Mainstage goes through the Guitar rig footcontroller out the L output through a DI and then to the mixing desk. The R output goes through the Guitar rig controller out the R output and straight to the guitar amp. Simple way to do both keys and guitar.
We never had any problems with this in Snow Leopard. With Mavericks this setup is unusable due to the clicks and pops shooting through the guitar amp. It doesn't matter whether the voume on the guitar itself is turned up or down it's still all "click POP.. CLICK pop pop click" Mainstage just seems to be sending these pops regardless if anything is being played or not.
When I ran the same session through my Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 there was no popping on the virtual instruments so I'm thinking it could be a guitar rig issue.
Can anyone help me with this? I'm sure a lot of people are finding the same thing... **** I know a lot of people are getting the pops without guitar rig involved. For now I'm going to continue to use my old Macbook but I'd LOVE to have the new one running smoothly!
Thanks a lot!

FCPX + Lion + Cannot handle AAC or Apple Lossless audio in H.264! (Clicks and Pops)

This is a problem I've been having since I upgraded to Lion, and I've posted this response in other forums, but wanted to start a fresh one with a video I created of my findings. In a nutshell: FCPX in Lion cannot handle AAC audio in H.264 files since it will create audible clicks and pops when it subsequently renders the footage. This ***** because the iPhone 4 for example records as H.264 and AAC for the audio. Below are my findings:
So I think I figured it out! (I'm pretty sure FCPX + Lion has issues with compressed audio formats, ESPECIALLY AAC and Apple Lossless!) There's a video of my findings below:
1. I tried doing exactly the same thing I was trying to do on my machine on a co-worker's Snow Leopard MBP, and it worked out fine (it was just importing an iPhone 4 .mov and exporting it in FCPX). The output file was pretty much the same as what came in.
2. I found out that only movies from my iPhone 4 were coming out all crazy in the audio, yet my Canon T2i files were fine. Both are H.264, yet the Canon T2i records audio as Linear PCM, while the iPhone 4 records audio as AAC.
3. So I got an idea to use screen flow to record a youtube video and record the computer's audio. Then I decided to export with different formats, both as HD NTSC standards and as web standards with H.264.
4. I found out that both NTSC and H.264 standards were perfectly fine, SO LONG AS THE AUDIO WAS LINEAR PCM (or uncompressed!).
5. I then exported the same clip (both times as H.264) and ONLY changed how the audio was rendered (either Linear PCM/Uncompressed or AAC) and VOILA, I got click and pop artifacts ONLY in the AAC version. The ones that were output as uncompressed audio were totally fine!
CONCLUSION:
Final Cut Pro X on OS X Lion has issues with compressed audio, MAINLY AAC and Apple Lossless! Anything that is Linear PCM/Uncompressed should be fine! For example, MPEG 4 AAC Enhanced Low Delay at 320K came out 95% OK, one or two clicks.
So if any of us are working with material where the audio came to us already as AAC (like an iPhone 4), then we have to rip the audio out somehow first (like through VLC for example) and import it separately as an uncompressed file.
Here's a youtube video showing exactly what I'm talking about:

Anybody else have any thoughts on this before Apple comes out with a fix?

I was having the same problem and spent several hours on the phone with apple working with one of their 3rd level support guys. Their is deffinatley a issue with Lion and FCPX. I was told they would escalate to a FCPX engineer and they would get back to me in two days. In the mean time I went to my local apple store and was able to recreate the issue on every machine I tried. Apple did call back and confirm that there is an issue with the way FCPX and Lion handle the import and export of AAC files. They said there would hopefully be fixed in a future update.
The best work around I found is to take your AAC file and convert it to a WAV. I used compressor to do this and it seems to have solved the problem.

Sync, Corruption, Clicks and Pops

Hello All,
So I'm having multiple issues with my setup here as I'm preparing to go into a big film score and don't want to have these headaches once I start.
First problem, and this might be the easiest to solve, is when playing back I'm getting intermittent clicks, pops, distortions from my sampled instruments. I'm running about 7 - 8 instances of Vienna Instruments, about 12 instances of exs with various samples/old Vienna Library, two instances of Stylus RMX, two instances of StormDrum (2-3 patches each) and one instance of Ethno. In addition to this I'm running my giga setup via lightpipe, and a Roland 5080 via Midi. I'm also running the movie, full length and DV quicktime format. I have all my audio samples on one external firewire Glyph Drive, the video on another external firewire Glyph drive, and the project on an internal (separate from the System Drive) hard drive.
My initial idea was that these clicks and pops might be caused by a bottleneck on the sample drive. This drive I believe is running firwire 400. Are the amount of Samples I'm running too much for this drive? Would it help if I upgraded to firewire 800 or maybe got another internal drive running 10,000 rpms? Should I re-encode my movie so its not so hard on the drive bus but more processor intensive?
My other idea was that it might be a case of bad Ram. Checking Logics System Performance window, I was only showing 75% on one processor and 30% on the second processor. So I opened up the activity monitor to check out how much ram was being used and it showed only 3.17 gigs of ram used. Going back to Logic all pandemonium broke loose with my project.
Which brings me to my second problem...this project is having crazy sync sample rate issues. Everything is distorted and garbled being played back, Logic is returning an error sign saying that I'm not synced and showing a random sample rate (4168). Restarting my system and all the usual stuff (repairing disk permissions) helps not at all. Everything still sounds messed up. Removing the movie from the project lessens the distortion but the same sync error turns up. Opening up other projects, I don't run into these problems. I even opened the Autoload of this project and I didn't have this problem (other than the already mentioned clicks and pops).
Is this project corrupted beyond retrieval? Do I have to manually copy everything to another project? Why did opening the Activity Monitor set this off?
If you read through this long post and know any of these answers that would be awesome.
Here's the specs on my setup.
Dual 2Ghz G5
4 GB DDR SDRAM (8 x 12)
ATI Radeon 9600 Pro
2 Glyph Drives
Audio Sample Drive - 400mb/sec
Video Drive - 800mb/sec
Motu PCI - 2408 mk3
GigaStudio PC
Roland 5080
TC Powercore
Everything slaved to an Apogee Big Ben at 48.
Thanks!
Oh yeah Logic 7.2.1.
Dual 2GHZ G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)
G4 1.25 MDD Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Hi,maybe this can help:
In addition to this I'm running my giga setup via lightpipe,
Going into what? Logic Pro thru the Motu 2408? into a digital mixer?It is not clear how you route this.If the Motu is the clock master,and you route everything through it,you should slave the Giga playback card to it,and make sure the Giga card can and is synced properly.
My initial idea was that these clicks and pops might
be caused by a bottleneck on the sample drive.
Nope,highly unlikely. A bottleneck on a drive will only slow down a system.Unless you are using certain western Digital drives that shield their power and their FW grounds together...then the hum from the drive spining would be what you hear.
My other idea was that it might be a case of bad Ram.
Nope,highly unlikely either...you would simply have more crashes,and freezes.
Which brings me to my second problem...this project
is having crazy sync sample rate issues. Everything
is distorted and garbled being played back, Logic is
returning an error sign saying that I'm not synced
and showing a random sample rate (4168).
Sounds like you are not slaving the word clock correctly somewhere int he chain...but without knowing what sound card the Gigastudio is using,and how you have your word clock distributed,I can only offer the following:
Remember to make ONE and only ONE device the sample rate clock master,and slave the rest to it.
Please try to re-connect your word clock cables...and maybe even start by running only one device at a time,until you find the one that causes the problem.It might be a headache at first,but the only real way to troubleshoot this stuff is to go one by one piece of gear and find the bad one.Sometimes a bad word clock cable,bad power cord,bad grounding between devices,can cause all sorts of problems,including clocking issues.
i hope this helps,
Nick

Clicks And Popping In Auxilliary 2 Inp

I have a dvd player's RCA Audio outputs hooked into my Audigy 2 Platinum's Aux 2 RCA inputs. However, I get a random clicking and popping, only through the Auxilliary 2. I have the latest drivers. I had a clicking/popping problem before with games, but I went into the bios and disconnected to power from devices I wasnt using and that seemed to fix it, and since then I've acquired a more powerful power supply, so there should be plenty of power. I can't think of anything else to fix it.

Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
Thanks for the advice, Bee

Upgraded to iTunes 6.0.5 sound now clicks and pops.

I've been using iTunes 6 happily up until yeasterday when I was prompted to upgrade to 6.0.5. I did this and now the sound of all of my purchased music is like an old scratched vinyl LP. At regular intervals there are clicks and pops in the music.
This did not happen until I upgraded. Strangely if I play the same tracks in QuickTime Player rather than in iTunes they pay without faults. I've tried changing settings to Safe Mode (waveOut only)and it makes no difference to the quality of the playback.
So, is there any way to revert to the old iTunes installation or is there a fix for 6.0.5?
FWIW, QuickTime Player isn't much of a solution since it doesn't support playlists.

just checking. have you tried working through the other possibilities (apart from the QT sound out settings) from this document?

Image won't open after right click and "open with" command using Editor PSE 10

Can't see image after right click and "open with" Windows XP command using Editor PSE 10. The editor opens but no image appears. I have to use the open command from within Editor

Make sure you have chosen the application PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and not a shortcut.
To manually associate a file format with an application:
In Windows Explorer, right-click a file whose file association you want to change. For example, if you want to change the file association for all jpeg files, click a jpeg file.
Choose Open With > Choose Program from the pop-up menu.
In the Open With dialog box, click Browse and then locate and select the exe application file.
Checkmark "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and click OK.
Note:If you choose a program from the Open With menu in step 2, instead of selecting the Choose Program option, this check box is not available, and the file association won't work.

Logic 8.2 and OSX 10.5.6 And Amplitube 2 Clicks And Pops??

I have what I think is a pretty fast comp...I never had issues really running Amplitube until it seems I upgraded from earlier Leopard to 10.5.4...Thats the only plug in that causes clicks and pops...Ive got latest update for Amplitube and Logic..but they havent released update in a while for Amplitube...Any ideas?? Has anyone heard of this issue yet..Is there something Im missing or is this a typical situation of upgrading my system to far? Thanks,

Oh... oh! comp = computer!
Sorry, I re-read this post several times and I couldn't figure out why having a fast compressor would cause clicks and pops... I thought maybe the attack was set so fast that it was causing artifacts. I must be working too hard...
FWIW, I don't have any issues with Amplitube 2 on 10.5.6 with Logic 8.0.2. Buffer size, perhaps?

Sound clicking and distortion with X

Anyone else having sound clicking and distortion with their X-Fi Card? Its rare in most games, but I have a couple games where its very common Eve-Online for example. I have a X-Fi Fatalty FPS.

Using Asio4All will introduce a higher latency than using Creative X-Fi ASIO / Bit-Matched -mode, so the later is recommended. If you get distortion make sure that your volume is not turned up to max, it should be around 0db in the mixer, which corresponds to about 80%. If you get cracks/pops then it's due to the bad performance of the ASIO drivers of the X-Fi. The latest beta also says to remove cracks/pops and some distortion problems in audio creation mode, maybe try them.
Again, here is a list of real latencies as measured on my own system, using the latest stable driver (not the beta one):
Rate = sample-rate
Comp = latency compensation in ms (by how much the real latency differs from what the application/driver reports
Low = lowest no of buffers (in samples) that I was able to use
