Popping and Crackling - the next thread ...

[dgdsu]

I know, we certainly all have already read and spoken about all the reasons already why this can happen several times in several spots and places, and apart from the fact, that I work as an engineer now over more than a decade, I know that new reasons can occure, I am not aware of.

We sadly have the requirement here to run some 96khz/24bit sessions for score and there is only one NI Kontakt instance open and Pro Tools pops and crackles like hell when I am in recording mode (what means small buffer size).

Of course small buffer means more issues, but this much is far too much for this power machine here with 32 GB Ram (EDIT: 64 GB Ram), upper class Intel processor, SSDs etc. Any ideas what can help apart from what we all knwo and try mostly first including trashing preferences, removing background tasks (which IMHO is pointless in this maching) etc ?

Would love to hear some NEW ideas. It is impossible to record under this circumstances.
