Latency, pops, and clicks stop when re-starting Logic?

Hello,
Recently when playing my projects (audio and midi tracks together), and then playing my midi keyboard over the tracks, I’ve had some latency—pops, clicks, etc., like Logic can't keep up. When I close out Logic, and start it up again, and then play my Midi keyboard over the same project, there is NO MORE latency or pops, whatever--and the problems seem to go away. Has this ever happened to you guys? Does closing down Logic and then starting the app up again seem to cure a problem like this?
Thanks

Yep. Sad but a true fact of Logic life. The other thing to try is to unplug your interface causing core audio to reset. Another is to go into the audio settings (or is it prefs? always forgetting) and change a setting, hit "apply" change your setting back and hit "apply" again causing core audio to reset.

When using Platinumverb in Logic Express I get pops and clicks

When adding platinumverb or any reverb to a certain audio sample in Logic Express, I am getting very noticable pops and clicks, as though it were taken from vinyl. Why would I get such noises just by adding reverb and is there a way to stop that from happening?

Hi,
1) What kind of mic are you using? If it's a condenser mic, make sure you have phantom power turned on.
2) I am not familiar with the KB37 audio interface. What input is the mic on the device? If it has a mic input, and a guitar input, then it's probably Input 1, but if it isn't you'll need to change the input on the track in Logic to whatever number it should be.

My time capsule cannot connect to my system and I get an error msg -6753. I also get a clicking noise when I start up. I've tried every thing from re setting, un plugging and re setting but nothing works. Anybody have the same problem ?

A "clicking noise" is often a sign that a hard drive is malfunctioning. Suggest that you power down the device and take it to an Apple store to have them take a look, or contact Customer Service at Apple for instructions.

When I open Mail the fans start up and only stop when I close it. This started about 2 days ago. In addition, Safari is often very very slow. What to do?

Previous to that I never had any problems with Mail; but Safari has been very slow on occasions. I don't know if the 2 pbs are linked.

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

When I try to play farmville and click the curser it starts a small circle spinning

when I try to play farmville and click the curser it starts a small circle spinning and will not do any thing. I have to shut down to get rid of it. Also when I tried to refresh game toolbar it does nothing.

Did you do a restore from iTune or iCloud backup recently?

Sound "pops" and then stops in iTunes

I've search these discussions but haven't found anyone with this problem.
I listen to my iTunes library with headphones while working on other programs. Frequently I'll hear a "pop" and then the sound is dead. I'll switch to iTunes and notice that the song is still playing. If I click the pause button and click it again to start playing the song again, I'll hear the "pop" and the sound is back on.
What gives? What causes this? How can I stop it from happening? It's really annoying.

Thanks JIMacG5. You are right that the pop then dead sound happens when another application also has a sound, although not always. I can hear my email chime and the songs in iTunes continue playing. Sometimes when I click the back button in Firefox the sound from iTunes dies but sometimes not. The only thing I know for sure that it only happens with iTunes. I also use my headphones to listen to DVD's and it has never happened with that software.
Oddly, it's a comfort to know that someone else is experiencing this same problem. That means that it is not just my machine. I am sorry though that others are also affected by this problem.
If this is an iTunes 7 issue, I hope they resolve it with the next update.
One workable solution for me is to listen to my iPod instead of iTunes but that seems silly since my computer is right in front of me.

No audio, just pops and clicks with QT 7.2 pro

I'm posing this question having read every sound related post on this forum. Forgive me in advance if this has been covered and I've missed the answer somehow!
Since the upgrade, all I hear is pops and clicks, no other audio on my nearfield monitors or headphones through my MOTU 896HD interface. QT MPEG-1 Files play fine, itunes works great, Digital Performer files sound wonderful, wmv files sound good. I just can't get sound from any other QT source!! Can't hear anything from QT website (xcpt click's and pops). If I turn off my interface, I can hear the audio through my G5 PPC tower, but not through the speakers. Before the upgrade everything was fine. So QT Kirk, Ricktoronto, Baby Boomer, you guys are very smart and have helped many. Please add me to your legion of fans!
Thanks in advance!!!

Thanks for the link. Of course I've been to this site on many occassions but this time I started a discussion thread about this problem.I don't get a lot of support thru MOTU but I'm a little desparate. Also when I went back to audio-midi I noticed under Audio devices... System settings :
Default input: Motu 896HD (other option: Built-in audio),
Default Output :MOTU 896HD,
System Output: Motu 896HD ( both with same other option as input),
Properties For: MOTU 896HD.
Here's the kicker, when I change "Properties For" to Built-in Audio my choices for format change back to 8ch-16 bit. But I still can't hear the audio from QT!
Argh!!!
I hope I'm not boring everyone to tears with my tales of woe but I DO appreciate the input, Thanks QT Kirk!

Popping and clicking in audio - PE7

When I use a Canon XL1 (the first generation of the XL series) and capture the video into PE7 via firewire there is all kinds of pops & clicks in the audio. I have tried it on different computers and still get the same thing. It doesn't matter if I use the same camera to play back the recorded tape, or from a stand-alone DV deck, or even a different camera- it's still there. It even happens if I record live video right into PE7 with this Canon camera.
You can hear a sample of what it sounds like if you watch my video at this link. This is a pretty good example of what it sounds like.
It normally doesn't happen right away on the timeline. It sometimes fades in and out too. Someone told me that maybe the audio setting in PE7 might be defaulting to 48,000 and the setting on my firewire card in the computer might be defaulting to 44,100 (or visa-versa)? I couldn't find anyway to change that on my computer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The audio is fine when I connect the camera up to monitor. It isn't the lav mic that I was using as I have used that lav mic a dozedn times before and since then. The only time it happens is when I capture video from that camera via firewire into PE7. The lav mic is a Sony 55 head which has a balanced XLR cable plugged directly into the Canon; no adaptors inline which would take the audio signal down to unbalanced. Like I said, there no problems with the mic as use that mic all of the time. Plus, it'll do the same thing even if I use the on board camera mic, and capture that audio via firewire.
If you listen right when the woman starts speaking on the video you can CLEARLY hear the popping and clicking in the audio. Like I said in the earlier post, it comes and goes, which is why you don't hear it throughout the entire video. The way I have gotten around the problem is by running the audio/video through an analog to digital (firewire) convertor and then record it into PE7. No problems in the audio then because I am polaying it back analog. That is one step I would like to bypass as it degrades the video and audio signal.
I believe it might be a hardware/software setting someplace in PE7. Something isn't syncing up.

Annoying popping and clicking with Realtek devices/drivers

anybody out there with an HP pavilion notebook with the realtek audio hardware and software? I just bought this system on Aug 21 2008 and have uninstalled and reinstalled the most up-to-date drivers, etc and sporadically yet continuously get popping and clicking sounds whenever i play movies or music files in itunes or quicktime. i'm using Windows Vista Home Premium OS and ensured everything is up-to-date with Microsoft products and no luck. Very frustrated!!

I just updated to 8.0.2.20 and now everything I plays skips and sounds like an old scratched LP record (remember those???).
This is not related to equalizer settings or hardware settings or anything else... you have people who have been using iTunes just fine until version 8 then all of a sudden massive problems... there are dozens and dozens of posts about this problem now. It has nothing to do with any settings, as people have been fine with prior versions, the common thread is that they've all upgraded to version 8.
And you shouldn't have to stop using equalization or change anything you had before either.
This is a BUG in VERSION 8. It seems that this version is full of bugs from what I have read across the internet-- has Apple started finally releasing crappy software? (It is inevitable). Maybe this is from outsourcing all the coding to countries where English is not the native language-- who knows.
In any event, before I updated (from an earlier version of 8) I noticed Itunes stopped playing any sound at all. After I updated it gave me the error message telling me I had to delete/re-install quicktime. I did and now the clicking and popping. I re-installed/repaired directly from the website. Still nothing.
My music plays perfectly from any other application. This is an iTunes BUG in VERSION 8.
Also, as others have noticed new oddities in the way itunes behaves in version 8. Some have tremendous CPU usage or problems with internet. My hard drive rattles and buzzes whenever I start iTunes!!!! That scares the h*ll out of me! No other app does this and I can load all my music with any other app just fine-- no buzzing of the hard drive.
I'm running a new machine with max'd RAM, 2 TB of drives hooked into a Windows Home Server with 9TB of music and video. I'll try rebuilding the library... but darn it how come no other problems with any other app? Media Monkey plays everything fine, for exmaple. Gotta be iTunes.

Speakers popping and clicking (Audigy 2 Platinum Ca

Trying to understand why my speakers start popping and clicking whenever I watch YouTube videos. I have to reload the drivers in order to it get it stop. This gets old. Is there a permanent fix out there? mPlease advise. Thanks.

Theres 3 possible cause
MUSIC
-The music bit rate you are listening is simply too hissing and popping to listen to. It means, music below 28kBPS. For example, battle field atillery strike simple hiss to much, same as doom 3 ^_* . Try listening it further...notice diffrence?
Speaker
-Your speaker is malfunction or simple too good to listen hissing sound in problematic musics. It is because your speaker problem ^!^
Lastly, sound card is not the issue of hissing and popping..... I SUGGEST YOU LOOK CLOSER TO YOUR SPEAKER!

Pops and Clicks and Delays with X-Fi Fatal1ty Platinum in Windows 7 32bit

Hi, I own an x-fi fatalty platinum sound card and I have installed the beta driver for Windows 7 32bit.
When doing things in the OS, i get occasional pops and clicks. I know exactly what it comes from, it happens when there are multiple sounds being played simultaneously. If I join a ventrilo server, the little intro sound it makes pops and clicks. If I hold down my talk key, sometimes it will pop and then play the little talk sound, sometimes it won't play the sound at all... and the same is true when I let go of my talk key.
Virtually everything I do in the OS has this weird pop and click sound associated with it. Playing music, however, doesn't have that problem because an MP3 is a continous stream of audio and counts as a single sound. It's when there are multiple sounds overlapping does it pop/click or fail to produce the sound at all or in its entirety. It's like the x-fi is delayed and isn't able to play the sound fast enough which therefore produces a pop and clicking sound at the beginning of sounds. This is why I purchased an x-fi sound card becaus it eliminated this problem from my onboard sound. Now it's BACK in Windows 7.
Also, when I play UT2004, by default there's an option called "Use System Driver" checked in the sound options. This makes everything in the game have a slight 0.25 second delay, but it's enough to make it noticeable and annoy me. If I disable "Use System Driver", it fixes the delay but the pops and clicks come back!? I can't win one way or the other.
Windows XP does not have this problem. I have tried both the stable x-fi driver and the beta driver. I have tried updating my OpenAL software. I'm not sure what to do beyond reinstall Windows 7 and try again... which I really do not look forward to doing.
If anyone could assist me, or take note of this issue so it could be fixed in later drivers, it would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
-Neil

Hello?

Can iTunes be set to play only one song and then stop when the song is finished and not go on to play another unless commanded?

Can iTunes be set to play only one song and then stop when the song is finished and not go on to play another unless commanded?

If you uncheck all of the songs, they will only play if explicitly commanded. Command-click in a checkbox and they will all be unchecked. Command-clicking again will check the all again should you want to do that.

.MOVz popping and clicking

I have recently had a client complaining of the audio 'popping and clicking' in CS3 when she is using DV .MOV files I have supplied.
She is using CS3 on a PC but I have checked the MOVz on my Mac in CS3 and I have noticed some similar problems.
The files are from a Panasonic HVX200 recorded in DV mode to P2 cards. The files were downloaded via "Log and Transfer' in Final Cut Pro and then handed to the client.
We have been using this process for a while without issue but now we have these audio problems.
Anyone know what the incompatibilty is?
Thanks.
Weenie

Welcome to the forums.

Final Cut X - pops and clicks on export

I am using Final Cut X on a Mac 10.8.5 -- and using Compressor with custom Vimeo settings to output a 30 minute film with 48k soundtrack.
I can not get a clean final file -- it has random loud crackles, pops and clicks. I have turned all other programs off when rendering, and also tried rendering the sound track separately in the hope that then I could reassemble the parts after compressor. That worked when the soundtrack was rendered as AAC, but as AIFF it didn't work, worse cracks and pops. Thoughts? I am going crazy trying to get a clean version of this film! Thanks.

Its a simple project , all the file are in my desktop , not using hard drives.
Its abou 55 seconds at 24fps, 1920x1280.
thanks agaain

Airport Express Pops and Clicks

I bought an airport express about a month ago with the goal of adding Airplay support to our living room. So far it's worked well except that it pops and clicks (sometimes very loudly) every 20 minutes or so. I've read that electrical interference may be the cause but 4 different surge protectors and line conditioners have done nothing to fix the problem.
I'm not using iTunes. Only streaming from iphones and an ipad.
Are there any additinal steps I can take before returining the unit?

If it also pops and clicks when you plug in the headphones, that points to a defective AirPort Express that will need to be replaced.
If you do not hear the pops and clicks on the headphones, then you know the AirPort Express is good and the problem is likely somewhere between the AirPort Express, amp and speakers.
Sometimes a compressor on a refrigerator or air conditioner will send spikes though the AC lines that are picked up in the amp, no matter what kind of surge supressor you have. I have had this problem, and had to replace the separate amp I was using.
