MisterGreen Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 I recently replaced my system drive with a larger one and since then, I'm hearing random crackling during playback. Prior to this, I've never had a problem with my system no matter how many tracks, plugins or virtual instruments. Looking at the system performance meter, it's never going over 10%. Before I start digging, I wanted to see if anyone ever ran into this same issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterGreen Posted June 13 Author Share Posted June 13 Looks like I may have found the culprit. On the one project I'm working on, I noticed the crackling happened around the same part of the song. I started muting tracks until I found it. It was the Sonitus gate. When I disabled it, the crackling stopped. Now I'm going to check the other project.

Johnbee58 Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 (edited) How much system memory do you have? That might be part of the issue. Oh, I see. 16 Gigs. You may want to up that to at least 32. 🙂John B Edited June 13 by Johnbee58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterGreen Posted June 13 Author Share Posted June 13 For what it's worth, I have a 58 track project with multiple plugins on each track and my memory usage is peaking at 13%. Why should I up it to 32? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol_Jonesey Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Are you sure it wasn't the gate simply "chattering"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching it when it was happening and the sound didn't match the behavior of the plugin. Each time through that section, the sound was different. It was definitely a static like crackle. Like someone twisting a dirty cable in the jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of things you could try: Bounce the clip to itself (bounce to clip) Copy all the audio to a new track, re-create the track properties and drag the Fx to the new track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
