Default Re: Crackling Audio Through TDM Bus

Well so far I've:

- Run DigiTest with all passes
- Created a new, empty session, and "track transferred" all the tracks into the new session. Still crackles.
- Did a "Save Copy As..." to a new partition, copying all audio and data. Still no love.

Nothing seemed to work. I tracked it down to what appeared to be a single track with the "send" in question. With the send fader popup open, I could see meter activity even when stopped, and the crackling coming through on the corresponding Aux input.

In what I thought would be a feeble (and useless) process, I:
- created a new audio track,
- copied all the audio from the offending track to the new track via Cmd-Opt Drag,
- duplicated all the plugins via Opt-Drag,
- Set up the sends:
Send 1 to reverb, which has never had the crackling, and
Send 2 (Bus 3), to the Aux Input with a PitchBlender plug on it.

Well, this seems to have fixed the problem. I've worked for the past hour or so with no further crackles. Which, quite frankly, mystifies me.

Can an individual track in a session become corrupted somehow? Not the audio files, because they're the same files, but somehow the track in the TDM mixer?

I hope this is finished, and maybe this will help someone else "bypass" this problem.

If anyone has any bright ideas what may have gone wrong, I'd like to hear it.
