Sound crackling while recording (X-FI TITANIUM)

Hi. I previously posted a problem with sound recording with the X-Fi Titanium (PCI, non-Fatalty)? on this forum. I thought the problem was fixed, but in reality it was just not noticeable. Now that I am trying to record in-game footage, it's nearly unbearable. Every few seconds, a crackle or pop sound of varying volume and length comes into the recording. There's no problem with the output of the card whatsoever; in fact, when I'm recording the in-game audio, I don't hear a thing as it occurs. It's only during playback that this happens. What could be causing this problem? I'm up to date on all drivers, I think (6.0..347, according to my Control Panel)
I'm running Windows XP 32-bit on a P5E motherboard with an X38 chipset, an Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 at 2.67 GHz with 2 GB of ram, and an nVidia 250 GTS. I am not overclocking, and I am running on default fan speeds. I've heard of crackling and popping problems on 64-bit operating systems, but never on 32. I've run out of things to try, so I am now turning to the community to help. Any suggestions?
EDIT: I just remembered that I have an onboard soundcard on my motherboard that was deactivated when I installed the new one into my computer. Could that be causing the problem?
EDIT 2: I wanted to clarify one thing. The crackling sound is loud, but it lasts from a second to three seconds then goes away for fi've seconds or so, and then comes back. It isn't constant or muted - it even goes louder than the volume by which I'm currently recording. I've never read about this problem, and every other topic seems to refer to a constant crackling.
EDIT 3: I used Audacity to record an example of the problem I'm getting. I don't hear any of this when I play the song; only when I listen to it back. It's the Prelude from the Final Fantasy series (pardon the nerdiness). It skips to halfway through about fi've seconds in to get to a louder part, to better demonstrate the problem. And no, you aren't getting Skype messages, I was just receiving them while recording "What U Hear" with Audacity. I hope this hel

Monitoring Sound Out While Recording

Does anyone know what would be the correct settings in Logic Pro for monitoring the sound output while recording a guitar? In Garage Band, all you have to do is turn on monitoring and you can hear the throughput. I used to be able to do it in an old version (4.8) of Logic. Since I upgraded to Logic 7, I have not been able to hear the "real time" guitar while I record. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (By the way, I am using an iMic to connect to the USB input . I'm using a G5 (2.7ghz dual proc) PowerMac.

Mark - Thanks for your reply. Yes, I've tried experimenting with that all night long. I can see that it affects the output meter in the track mixer, but still no sound. When I select the iMic input , the sound does not route through to the physical line out on the G5. I can open up Garage Band and then go back to Logic and then hear the output. The problem with this setup is then after I record a track, you can't hear the output of what you just recorded without first going in and selecting the "built-in audio" setting of the audio options (changing from the iMic setting). I never had this problem with the ancient version (4.8) of Logic I used on my old iBook.
Thanks again for your reply.

Adding "sound drops" while recording my podcast

Hello! I am recording a podcast using Audition CS6, and I want to basically play sound drops during the show. How do I do this? Is there something within Audition that will add sound during a recording, or do I use another program to accomplish that?
Thanks for any help.

By "sound drops" do you mean things like sound effects and musical stings? If so, Audition is primarily a post production tool so it'd be dead easy to do this while editing and mixing but not really possible live within Audition. I know there are specific podcasting tools that allow this but it's not something I do so I can't recommend any.
....or, a trick I've used quite often, there are various programmes that allow you to instant random playback from either another computer or from a smart phone. If your audio interface can handle this, do it like this works very well and makes you feel almost like a broadcast studio.

Crackling noise while record

I just got a new X-Fi sound card and when I try to record with it I get a crackling noise while recording BUT plays great, when its recording I get the nose and as soon I stop the recording the crackling noise stops, I did have a sound blaster li've 5. and I never had this prob with it's? dose anyone have a clue to what would cause this?
Now I did just do a major computer up grade:
AMD 64 3500 2.2 Ghz
ATI 52MB video
Gig of ram
300 Gig HD
ECS K8T890-A Mother board
Soundblaster X-FI Xtreme

I just found out, that the crackles only occur when I record something using the windows audio driver while/after an application is/was opened that uses the ASIO driver. The crackles do not occur if I record something inside the ASIO application.
I hope you understand what I mean.

Sound while recording with audigy 2 zs plati

i have the audigy 2 zs platinum. i'm using the /4" line in 2/mic in 2 to plug my guitar into. i can hear the guitar fine until i hit the record button on my software. it records what i'm playing, and will play it back with sound, but, again, no sound while recording. i also noticed there's no "li've" sound during playback. i've checked connections, and installed the latest drivers for the card. i'm using adobe audition 2.0 to record. please help!

Sure. Selecting "Line 2" records the signal just after it has entered the main CL chip, and selecting "What you hear" records the signal after it has been through the mixer/effects DSP in that chip. It's likely that CL lowers the volume a notch to reduce the chance of clipping from mixing/effects processing. Note that the signals at that point are 32-bit, so that some additional headroom really doesn't lose you anything; all you need to do is to raise the recording volume a bit to compensate.
The card's unity settings are designed for 50% on the recording slider and 00% elsewhere (i.e. there is a 2x digital multiplier on the recording slider). You may get some useful insights from a page I have: <a href=http://pages.sbcglobal.net/hamakerd/sbsrc/ target=_blank>http://pages.sbcglobal.net/hamakerd/sbsrc/[/url] by following the Additional Information link at the bottom, and seeing my comments (under the General heading) about how I determined the recording volume settings I used in that testing.

HELP!! No sound while recording thrugh M-Audio firewire 410

I am using Logic express 7 with an M-Audio firewire 410. I have my guitar plugged into the mbox and Logic is picking up the signal from my guitar, but I cannot monitor the sound while recording OR hear anything else at all. When I unplug the mbox, however, I can hear everything that i just recorded along with everything else in the song fine. I just need some help figuring out how to monitor the sound, PLEASE!!!!

Logic always uses the same audio interface for input AND output, so I suppose your problem is that you do not have any speakers connected to you M-Audio interface. Try adding a pair of speakers to it. If there's still no sound, go to Logic's audio settings and see if "software monitoring" is active or not.

No sound while recording or viewing satalite

;( could someone please explain to me why i have no sound while recording or playing back recorded tv.i have g4 mx440 video card and tuner card.i'm not sure if i am hooking up connections properly in back of comp.need help.thank you ?(

In order to hear sound as you record, you either need to use direct monitoring on your interface (ie, route it's inputs directly to its output), or turn Software Monitoring ON in Logic (Logic -> Preferences -> Audio Hardware & Drivers) - this lets you hear your inputs while recording.

Random crackling in recorded audio

We use the Presonus Firepod as a recording interface for GB on Sundays for our live recordings. As I begin to listen to the recordings each week I will hear these crackling and popping sounds at random. It happens during messages and/or during music. I know for sure that it is not a clipping issue, and the noise is only heard as the signal comes through. As long as there is no signal present there is no crackling. I searched through the previous posts I thought might be related and no one seemed to give nay helpful answers to my problem. This is not an issue that can be resolved by eliminating an EQ frequency (already attempted with a 32-band graphic EQ) nor would sampling help). One more thing... the noise doesn't always begin right at the start of the recording but usually at some random point during the recording.
Please help me if you can. This is driving me absolutely nuts, and I cannot continue having this issue. If nothing else, if someone could tell me if the problem is with the hardware, software, or the mac (God forbid) please do.
Thanks
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

THANK YOU!!! I have the EXACT same problem I believe, look at my post for crackling/buzzing while recording, in GarageBand 2 (even though I use GarageBand 3). Oh, man I thought I was the only one with this problem, but thankfully I'm not... Except that still gets me nowhere, because I still don;t have an answer, and im sorry i dont have an answer for you... but I think i know what you're talking about. when I'm recording my guitar, all of a sudden, and completely randomly I hear a loud buzzing that sometimes overloads what I'm playing, and it's EXTREMELY annoying, because no onw seems to know what it is, and i'm thinking of reinstalling garageband, but I have no idea where my ilife '06 DVD is... so im stuck with this stupid crackling/buzzing sound, and i'm pretty sure its the one you're talking about. i hope you can find someone to help you, and if so, PLEASE tell me how to fix the problem, because I can't get anything recorded. It's also good to know, because now im sure its not a problem with my rig, it's garageband. anyway if you can find the install DVD for GarageBand, delete GarageBand ONLY and not the music files you want, so you can retrive them later, and just install GB again. i don't know if that'll work, but im pretty sure it will, and ill try it if i find the install DVD...

Split Tracks While Recording w/MediaSource Play

I'm converting some cassettes using MediaSource Player. Can I split tracks while recording, i.e. record the whole cassette and then split that into individual tracks? I've done that with Microsoft Plus!, but can't seem to find that functionality with MediaSource. Also--if I want the absolute best quality recording of the cassettes, am I right in thinking I'd select WAV stereo, w/96.00 kHZ and 24 bits? The cassettes are li've recordings that I'd like to?have professionally mixed in a studio and then released as CD's, so I need the optimal "starting point" as far as the digital files are concerned. Thanks for any advice.

Yes, recording at 24/96 wave is the best that you can go with.
If you have one of the Creative sound cards, check whether you have the Creative Smart Recorder application. It has a split track function.

Stereo Audio Record problem (While recording video as well)

Hi,
I just just bought Sony Xperia C3 dual yesterday. I'm having problem with audio recording. I installed the Sony audio recorder from Google play store but while recording in stereo mode with it the gain suddenly drops after 1/2 second(s). Same problem while recording a video with stock camera app as well, video quality is fine but the audio with it is,just worst. Tried third party app like regorge pro but faced the same problem. Tried disabling the AGC with it, but no good. Recording in mono mode just works fine and I get clear record.
Any solution?
Thanks.

@uliwooly This one i recorded today morning. The audio starts good & clear at the begining but just after one second it drops & then you can hear the bus engine sounds like waterfall. Here is the youtube link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5H1jNxyYMlw Here's another video uploaded by a review site with the same problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3vKwydfN6U & more from youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GLLj2ommP4 then i used a third party audio recorder with mic switch option https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6d4uAEZFRE as usual with the rear mic the gain suddenly drops after second & you can hear some weird sounds like a "movie bomb" sound at 00:04, "rattle snake" sound at 00:05 & 00:12 & with the front mic starts at 00:17 you can hear the difference. It's mono but so clear & sharp. Finally, as i dont have the mic swith option while recording video, all videos i record will have the same problem. This is definitely not the typical "sony" thing to carry on.

While recording in captivate 4 I get a pop at the beginning of each recording

While recording narration over a PP conversion in captivate 4 I get a pop at the beginning of each recording, It doesn't seem to matter if I use keyboard shortcut or the mouse. Any thoughts?
Paul

Welcome to our community
Is the unwanted bit part of the countdown?
If so, there are a couple of ways to avoid it.
1. Don't record your narration at the same time you record the actions. Record it separately. No narration means no countdown.
2. After the countdown stops, consider that first slide to be a throwaway and ensure you don't begin recording in earnest until after you hear the first camera shutter sound.

When I film something the sound isn't recorded... why?

When I try to film something, the sound isn't recorded only the images. Does anybody know what is the problem? In the begginning it used to record everything but after I don't know what happened and when I play the movie in the top of the screen appears like a line showing the fragments of the whole movie and a bar goes passing over the images like a timeline....

The same thing happens to me. But in my case my 12yr old son noticed that I cover the phone's speakers with my hands while filming, not that thats your case. I just thought to tell you cause its funny is all. Hope some one can assist you. Good luck.
