glitch in sound when adjusting plugins

[mikeyman]

is it normal for there to be a glitch in the audio when adjusting plugins.Check out what I mean in this video toward the middle of the video as he is adjusting the plugin and the sound warps a little bit,.This seems to happen to me sometimes when I'm adjusting or turning plugins on .Not sure when exactly it happens to me but it sounds like this.

I don't recall ever hearing audio glitches while adjusting any plugin. Tough to offer any advice with zero details about your system or what plugins are causing it.

[mikeyman]

oh no kidding .I'm not sure when exactly it happens>Ill have to keep an eye on it.Ill post a Sandra so you can checkout my system

I didn't watch the video, but I have experienced this for years generally with Waves reverbs and delays. Happens on my PC Nuendo rig, and happens with reverbs and delays in Pro Tools. It's nothing that I've ever been concerned about, always chalked it up to the fact that I may be making changes to big verbs or long delays.

I would occasionally crash the PC but only in the final stages when there were a lot of plug ins loaded. Remember, these are computers that are doing a great deal of calculations. When you try to change certain settings in real time there may be artifacts depending on the system. I vaguely remember even an analogue Klark-technic reverb I used to love would do things like this if I changed certain patches.

Don't sweat the small stuff. I mean if it's happening for automation then you have a problem.

2 things to think about;

This is confusing to me from the Sandra report...

Memory Module(s)
Memory Module : SanMax ModulePartNumber00 2GB

I don't get why it says 3x4, but then shows 6 RAM modules. Are they all identical? Are RAM timings set manually in BIOS or are you using the DEFAULT setting?

#2-what interface are you using and are you recording to a FW drive? VIA FW controllers are usually not PT-compatible.

[mikeyman]

thanks Dr.


Albee I'm not sure about how the computer is set up to answer those questions but I am recording to the
WDC WD10EALX-229BA1 (1TB, SATA600, 3.5", 7200rpm, 32MB Cache) : 932GB (D:)
I am using a Lynx Aes16e card for an interface
I just had the machine setup so I was not recording on the C drive and I have not had any freezes since then.It seems to work good now other than those sound glitches once and a while

Albee, I have noticed some odd things using Sandra. It shows my eight 2gb memory modules as eight 1gb modules.

Not a clue what's going on there. If the system works fine, chalk it up to an oddity. If the system has troubles, run Memtest86 and test the RAM.

This is one of their BLUE drives and I would NOT use it for recording. My friend's rig(with 3 WD BLUE drives) had lots of issues, and once he moved sessions OFF those drives, the issues cleared up. He also had to return 2 for replacement under warranty. The BLUE drives are like the McDonalds of hard drives(built cheap for general use). The WD GREEN drives are built to save power by sacrificing performance(NOT what you want in any audio machine). The BLACK drives are built for best performance and longest life, and those are the only WD drives to buy. I own a few BLUE drives and only use them as system drives(with plenty of backup) or in external drive cases as backup drives
