Hi Tim
I've recently bought a MobilePre MKII (PT SE 8.0.3) and am also experiencing this exact same issue.
I've gone through all the Avid optimizations but the static keeps bursting...
It's reaaaally annoying... Once it starts it just keeps building up, stronger and stronger, from soft crackles and pops to full white noise.
Sometimes if I revert to my last save the session will keep static-free for a while, but eventually it kicks back in...
Everything else seems ok. And the resources are all pretty low, these are simple, lean sessions.
New update coming up?
thx
