![]() ![]() If you do a Google on "Autotune Antares audio cracks and pops" you will find a LOT of hits, including a number of threads here on Gearslutz.Īuto tune 8 causing pops and clicks with logic pro x. In the Activity Monitor, go to Menu Bar → Window → and select CPU usage or CPU history. Meanwhile other cores might only be running at 50% and the overall CPU at 70%. Is the Antares plugin maxing out one core? It might not be multi-threaded and if it maxes out a core it might hiccup. When the plugin is bypassed there is no pops.Well, at least that narrows it down to Autotune. Please, I need a pro to help and give me a process to follow. This has been the worse couple days just TROUBLE SHOOTING. I am soooo confused and worried and angry. I am hoping it is a setting in pro tools that somehow switched or in my control panel on apogee control. ![]() Only the recording from yesterdays session. Long and dynamic vocals I recorded before. It can't be my Mac because old recordings in the same session do not pop. ![]() Or the cable from mic to interface / pre amp.Ĭould it be my mic? Or my interface? Both are very expensive and can't be replaced currently. I am worried because if it is not my pre amp. I do not know how else to trouble shoot this. Plugged Mic directly into interface bypassing Pre Amp to rule out the PRE as the problem. Tried to find clock source for pro tools and I guess it seems to be directly connected to my control panel for my interface acting as its slave.Ĭlock seems fine if I did it correctly as described. Made sure my pro tools session was 48kHz. Opened my control panel in Apogee control to make sure clock source was internal as usual and 48kHz. Updated driver for my element 24 (There was a new update from awhile ago I never knew about but my setup was fine a couple days ago even without it) The actual recording is popping.Īnyway, I began the trouble shoot process by reading previous posts on gearslutz and a bunch of other audio websites with forums. So I concluded the problem is my signal going into the computer. Here we go again more bull****.įirst thing I did was import old audio I recorded with my mic into the same session and solo it to hear for any pops. Right away I noticed that every track was popping and crackling extremely bad. When I finished recording the song I switched my buffer rate to 1024 I believe it is (can't remember exact number) highest one as I usually do for processing plugin purposes. Yesterday I dropped my buffer rate to 128 as I always do when tracking vocals to make sure there is no delay in monitor headphones while tracking. But I know from the past it has nothing to do with the processor because it always has worked and at high speeds even with a ton of plugins and busses running. I understand AVID recommends a i5 or higher processor. Also, I have been using this exact set up for over 6 months and never had this issue before. Two days ago I recorded a song and mixed it and everything was completely fine. Pre Amp: Digital MPA II Tube ART 2 channel.Įxternal Hard-drive for pro tools session: Seagate 1TB Mac mini i3 processor 8 GB Ram (Upgrading in a couple days to 32 GB ram) Catalina 10.15.7 OSĤ2 GB free space on hard drive. I have literally read every post on the internet. Then they get off their ***** and fix things, because one thing apple cannot stand is public humiliation.I need some help. The engineer who worked on the chip is probably gone by now, and Apple doesn't fix problems unless thousands make a stink. It's a software error in the code that runs the low level chip. Noise hurts your ear, and i didn't buy fancy Gelelec Studio Monitors to hear crackling!Īll the superstition about setting the time automatically doesn't sound plausible to me. So obnoxious of an error for those of us who can still hear. It staggers my mind that Apple has had this bug since 2018 probably, and they just don't care enough to fix it. So it is a bug in the firmware for the custom apple audio chip which is in every MacMini and Laptop (they use the same custom Apple chips). Killing the coreaudio process, which auto respawns almost immediately clears the problem. The crackling stops when the audio stream stops, after a few second delay, when the audio unit goes to sleep (to save power). So this means that the noise is after the audio amplifier in the chain. The crackles are fixed in volume and don't go up as you increase the volume. You can tell it is a firmware problem in the Apple audio unit, because if you play music very softly you will hear the crackles. I have a MacMini 2018, and am running 10.14.6. ![]()
