Slight crackles/distortion when session uses alot of tracks

i'm mixing a song for a friend. throughout the song it uses 7 drum tracks,4 guitars on choruses,3 on verses, bass + about 4 tracks of vocals.
its fine throughout most of it, however when theres a part with a very long tom section+all guitars going, bass too, it crackles.
i can fiddle with the EQ on certain tracks-mainly guitars and can reduce this crackle a bit,but is there anything else i'm doing wrong? other than EQ-ing wrong?
its not the system performance as the monitor in logic shows its working fine whilst the session is playing. i've also tried freezing ALL tracks and nothing changes
any help is great ta!

Check your master fader to see if you're clippnig. If you've got AdLimit on, maybe you're pushing it to hard.

  • Distortion when I use peripherals???/

    Hello all!
    I have the iPod Classis 80 gig. When I try to use it with my JBL ipod radio or the output cable, the sound ends up with distortion. This does not occur when I use headphone. It only happens when I use the iPod connection. Is there a simple solution to this or do I need to send it in?
    Thanks.

  • Movie distortion when burned using iDVD 6

    Hello,
    I am creating a movie with iMovie 6 and when I tried to preview a 'work in progress' version on my TV by burning a DVD using iDVD 6 there is a problem. What happens is whenever there is rapid movement of a subject, eg an arm movement, the subject (arm) becomes distorted and 'lined instead of it's normal solid, smooth shape. There is also a slight reduction in clarity in the picture in general. I have made movies before (albeit with earlier versions of iMovie and iDVD on OS X 10.3.9 iMac) and burned them to DVD without any problem.
    Can anyone help please?
    Thanks
    Dan

    I am also having problems with the image quality of the DVDs burned from iDVD. Are there no "experts" or moderators on these forums to respond to this issue
    There are several experts here with knowledge about iDVD and creating DVDs, but we find it impossible to respond to general 'rants'. You will find MANY message threads here in which we have helped people who came here with specific problems.
    Saying "I am also having problems with the image quality of the DVDs burned from iDVD" tells us NOTHING. What is the source of your video content? How long is the video content in minutes? What format (CODEC) is it in? ... the list can go on.
    NTSC DVDs are low resolution devices (less than 640x480 pixels - that's 0.3 megapixels) and may be heavily mpg-2 compressed. They are designed for viewing on TV sets and not full screen on computer monitors.
    Are there no "experts" or moderators on these forums to respond to this issue?
    ... and what did you expect us to say?

  • My iphone 5 makes crackling sounds when calling using headset

    when using headset to make phone calls or facetime, after a few mins or so crackling sounds can be heard from both sides of the call, ive tried various headsets and the same issue occurs, also tried a new sim card. this problem only occurs when using headset only.
    i have been to apple and have swapped the handset but yet again the same problem.. i am not the only one experiancing this as ive read other forums n its a common problem. APPLE needs ro fix this asap

    i will try that. Has this problem happened to you? All they said at the genius bar was that my 1st iphone 5 might if had a faulty headphone jack, im thinking if going back and getting handset swapped again to see if the problem occurs

  • Apple TV and Sony Bravia, Slight video distortion when streaming local video

    I have a 3rd Generation Apple TV and a Sony Bravia TV
    When I am strwaming movies from iTunes, it appears it is skipping frames every few seconds. I have it hooked up through a Sony ES receiever, and i have by passed it to go directly to the TV. Below is all the troubleshooting i have done:
    - Changed the HDMI cable
    - Plugged it in directly to the TV
    - I have tried 2 Different TV's in the house (Video Streaming is fine on both TVs)
    - Tested the video on 2 macs and window media center, videos play fine
    - Moved the Airport Extreame and internet connection next to the unit
    - streamed from Both my macs and the WMC PC.
    - tried connecting either net to Airport extreame with the Mac
    - Streamed a movie trailer and it looked fine.
    - Changed the resolution of the apple tv from 1080P to 720P
    - Played movies from the PS3 and DVD play, no problems with the picture on the TV
    - Power cycled EVERYTHING!
    I have over 400 movies on my media server, and none of them acted like this on my 1st generation Apple TV i just sold.
    The weird part is that it only happens to the movies i am streaming on this specific TV. I know the TV is good, the moveis are fine. And the connection between the device and the system hosting the movies is fine..
    Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

    Make sure its compatible
    H.264 and protected H.264 (from iTunes Store): Up to 5 Mbps, Progressive Main Profile (CAVLC) with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 1280 by 720 pixels at 24 fps, 960 by 540 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

  • Screen page keeps moving or bouncing up and down slightly when I use my scroll wheel on my mouse, it only happened after updating to 6.0

    I just updated to Firefox 6.0 with my windows 7 64bit OS. As soon as it was installed, pages began making quick moves up and down just a half inch or so when I use the scroll wheel on my Logitech MX620 mouse. When I use the scroll wheel, it does scroll, but when I stop scrolling, the page bounces up and down a half inch a few times before the page stops moving.

    I found a temporary fix, go into Logitech Setpoint and uncheck the box "Enable Smooth Scrolling" in the pointer and scrolling settings. It will make scrolling slightly less smooth but at least the web pages stop bouncing up and down on their own.

  • Crackling noises when using Scarlett 2i2?

    Just bought the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 yesterday as my previous audio interface broke. Now I am having crackling noises when using the 2i2. . .a problem I did not have with my previous M-Audio Fast Track C400. . .so I know it's a problem specific to the 2i2. Already downloaded the latest drivers as well.
    Anybody have any solutions or similar problems with this product??? The crackling noise is intolerable.
    Thanks.

    Hi lee,  it sounds like the problem your having is exactly the same as mine.  When I use the 2i2 there is clapping and crackling which gets worse and worse until the sound disappears,  I know a few people on different forums are having the same issue so I don't think it is the interface.  I'm using iMac 27
    •      NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2GB GDDR5

    •      16GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2X8GB
    •      1TB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm
    There should be no problems with this set up in terms of capability,  I'm still waiting to hear back from Focusrite tech help desk and when I do I'll share the outcome.  I hope this can be resolved,  let me know if you have any luck before me? 
    If I was in the UK I would pick up the phone and call Focusrite but I'm in Australia!!

  • Since 10.8 crackle / distortion on external FireWire soundcard when playing music (only when Mail is running)

    Since updating to Mountain Lion I have crackles in music playback with Mail app under the following conditions:
    - Mid 2009 MBPro
    - external FireWire soudcard / recording device ESI Durafire is connected
    - a pair of studio monitors connected to audio out on this device
    - Firefox is running
    - Mail app is started
    - music is playing back (with iTunes or Spotify)
    - navigating or clicking with mouse (or trackpad) into Mail or from Mail to another app it produces a short crackle / distortion in the music
    - crazy but true: when the loudness in the song itself (not via the volume-switch) increases or decreases the crackle is getting louder or less louder, too!
    - when closing Mail app, crackling is gone at once
    - when stopping music, crackling is gone at once, too
    - happens with no other app then Mail
    Any ideas?

  • When I use envelope distort, the text warps wrong.

    When I use envelope distort on a a chevron shape, the text warps beyond the shape and new anchor points and curves are automatically added.  What am I doing wrong?  Here are images of what's going wrong: http://imgur.com/a/usHj2

    I can't recreate your issue. I'm also not sure what steps you're following, but here's what I did:
    I tried it with live type, too, and it still worked. You may try copying your two objects into a brand new document, and see if the issue persists.

  • When I use yahoo images and i open an image in a new window, it tweakes out firefox so that panes are distorted and exerything, the whole firefox browser looks like an F5 tornado took it apart and lumped it on my desktop... is this a known glitch?

    When I use yahoo images and open an image in a new window, the page, once I click its tab causes the entire browser to scramble graphically, making it nearly impossible to navigate further. I right-clicked and selected close tab. That regains the visual clarity of the browser. But how can I fix this to browse the images?

    Phillipp,
    I tried it again using "save link as", and this time it actually worked! I just now downloaded several more using the "save link as" option, and it works perfectly. Thanks. Problem solved.
