Hi, This is my very first post ever!

Ocassionally I get pops recorded to tracks.Zoom in reveils what appears to be drop out(a sharp edge on wave).Pencil tool fixes it.Would like to have pop free recording of course.Any advice? Much appreciated..Thanx.

QSD dual 1 gig OSX 10.2.8 and currently DP 4.12 with 4.52 on the way,,Appogee Rosetta as master clock received by Presonus Digimax received by Tascam FW 1884 at 48/24. Tascam is set as core driver and thats it...

Juke:

Just a thought here. Do you have your master clock set to internal or are you using another device as a master clock? Make sure that DP has the right device set for your master clock.

Peace

check your buffer settings while tracking as well.
i usually track at 512 with a motu 2408 mk3 and clocking off of a rosetta like you.

cheers!

FM is he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.

maybe it's the refrigerator kicking in, or one of its relatives....

Fire Wire external drive on the fritz.

Hehehe...the fridge is a possibility

I ll check my settings..im recording tonight.Also i have my host multiplier set to 2.I dont know what that means.I only have 1 driver selected (Tascam 1884).Ill post my settings later when i get back.

Thanx very much for your replies.

I'm back..just to let you know..My host multiplier is set to 1 and my buffer setting is set to 1024,and clock source is Tascam FW 1884.I didn't see any thing as far as an external clock source as my FW 1884 is receiving clock from apogee rosetta.I had trouble free recording tonight.But chances are it'll still happen once in a while..Any way, thanx to you all for your replies..

interesting.
keep an eye on that buffer setting, in my case at least, that's where trouble usually begins.

peace!

FM

FM is part of the axis of Evel Knievel.

i have had similiar sounds. I realized they were from the refrigerator nearby,(though setup on a different breaker, it still affects my speakers/recording sessions). So check if there is a high voltage machine somewhere nearby. It sounds like that is probably the case. also, host buffer multiplier has to do with how many devices you have connected. it explains it in the help section of dp.
goodluck

Hi, my first time posting here as well. I have found pops in my recording as well and spent many, many hours trying to find out what was causing them. What I did was start up with only base mac extensions and then the extensions needed for DP audio system, then turn off and unplug everything that is not needed to record audio and next try recording and check for pops (checking for pops is the most tedious part because it is hard to prove a negative). If that works, then turn on extensions in groups at a time and check for pops again, then turn on equipment one at a time. I had to do this three times to finally be pop free. It was at first recroding onto an external HD, then it was a USB that was not self powered, then it was a problem with the Yamaha Motif chasis being connected via USB to the computer and sucking too much juice. Hope this helps

Thanx everyone..I'm working on it and let you know how it goes....
