Motherboard/CPU/RAM that -works- with the Ultralite (XP SP2)

Post by rynol »

Hello

I'm going to make an upgrade, from scratch, with a completely new motherboard, CPU and RAM to feed my Ultralite, which i'm having problems with (cracks and pops when playbacking audio).

I need DAW specs that definantely, guaranteed 110 % super ultra backtested over and over again, works with no problems whatsoever with Motu soundcards (preferebly with the Ultralite specificly).

Intel/AMD doesn't matter, nothing matters except to make the damn Ultralite play music without pops and cracks (nor noise at windows startup).

Is there such a thing, has it ever been discovered, or is it only a legend?

I do not want people here saying, "my friends uncle has an Ultralite that worked good for the five minutes i heard it, and i think he runs AMD, bla bla). People that answer this tread should preferebly own an Ultralite/other Motu soundcard device that works flawlesly with their PC DAW.

To people who do that, post your DAW specs/recomendations here.

Pops and cracks usually come from recording too high quality on a slower PC or playback of too many tracks without turning your buffers up. It sounds to me as though your computer is not up to the task for the quality you are recording, or that you need to increase your buffer size on playback.

I can do 44.1 and 48 on my computer, if I set it to 96 I get pops\clicks no matter what my buffers are set to as it is too slow.

No, changing latency buffer doesn't help
