[QUOTE="Joseph Schuurman, post: 91788, member: 4464"] Re: Crackly Playback I'll be interested to hear the replies. I've just started to experiment with multi-track recording using USB. Currently I'm using a cheapie netbook, which actually seemed to keep up "fairly" well. I'm doing 13 channels to the computer no returns. On my playback, I also got some crackles, I haven't had time to investigate yet, but so far I'm thinking it's either: my netbook was pushed too hard (maybe CPU wasn't keeping up), or more likely, my levels were just a bit too hot. All my strong levels had compressors on them, but I'm not sure where the USB is getting it's line from, maybe pre-limiter/compressor? The main's were not getting any of the crackles for me. Just to rule out the first option, what are your computer specs, did you see any 100% CPU spikes, how many tracks, what software? [/QUOTE]
