Subject:Acid 4.0 render crackles Posted by: Terpsichore Date:2/10/2004 9:55:32 AM Anybody seen this happen? I am getting small crackles on playback and record with Acid 4.0 and Vegas 4.0, both WDM and ASIO, buffer settings don't seem to help. Vegas 3.0 is solid. This may or may not be sound card related, (Delta 1010). However, here's the kicker: Rendering several tracks to a new file in Acid 4.0 causes small crackles and pops in the rendered file, verified on Sound Forge to actually be there. No sound card involved in the render process. Whether it matters or not I don't know, but these tracks were recorded into Acid, and were not loops. Any help would be apprecieated. Jim

I was having an odd problem using the latest Delta drivers (the 0036's) and 24-bit recording in Sound Forge, which was remedied by adjusting the DMA buffer (which struck me as odd, as I didn't have to do this before). I'm using the Audiophile 2496. Since you've tried adjusting the buffer, try uninstalling the Delta drivers and reinstall using the latest ones (if you haven't done so already).

If they've defaulted to beatmapped, this may be your problem. There's a check box in Options>Preferences to help with playback clicks, but this shouldn't affect your mixdowns. BFB
