Window 8 828mk3 usb pop and crackles
Posted: Mon Mar 16, 2015 5:07 am
I'm currently running my 828mk3 hybrid on a fairly new high spec PC running windows 8.1
In Ableton i'm hearing pops and crackles at 128 samples/44.1 with just a dozen or so low cpu plugins running. Ableton is showing less than 40% utilisation and when i revert to another audio interface (built in MPC renassance driver) the pop and crackles go away running the exact same project file
I'm at a loss, and wondering whether it's a USB issue and whether to try and switch over to firewire (which means finiding a compatabile pci card - and opening up another world of pain)
the pops and crackles go away if i increase the sample to 256 or reduce the plug in instances but i wouldnt expect the 828mk3 to underpeform the audio interface in the MPC (which after all isn't even a pro level audio interface)
I'm ready to ditch MOTU all together- really dont expect to be hearing pops and clicks at 128 samples with just 12 plugins running and not even hit 50% utilisation on ableton.
