I agree. Working on the same project that I created in Sonar Platinum with zero crackling issues. Now that I installed BandLab, I have the cracking. So for me, I won't be using BandLab until this issue is resolved. I tried all of the suggestions above and none solved the problem. To me, as a developer myself, it is quite clear that this is a software issue since all settings, audio files, FX, and project is the same. In Platinum, runs fine without crackle, but in Bandlab it does not.
