Cracks and pops while recording guitars

[Marcello]

Hi there.

I'm recording guitars at home with a scarlet small interface and amp sims plugins.

While recording I can hear some cracks and pops and I'm having some issue to understand where is this coming from.

I did the following steps:

- Changed cable, same issue

-Changed guitar, same issue

-Changed input in my interface, same issue

- Changed buffer size, I use it around 125/258 and put it lower than that but, same issue (sample rate is 44100)

My impression honestly is that is caused by the guitar, but I changed with the other guitar and it's almost the same, one is a bit more obvious and the other less cracks but still.

or either my scarlet interface is damaged.

I don't have idea, I would like to exclude it's an issue cause by Preference settings, buffer, CPU and all these kind of things.

Any suggestions? I'm running out of options.

Is the signal clipping?

No it isnt

I also deleted all the other tracks from the project and tried to play only the guitar track, same issue.

I can hear the cracks even with no amp sims and plugins in the track

they crack sounds like you know when you insert the guitar jack and its a bit like fzz, crkkk

It is the sample rate actually. Just put it around 400 and its fine now LOL, sorry
