drivers....mbox...le6.4...ableton4...XPSP2

[funkbo]

hello...new here...i recently downloaded ptle6.4 and was not really having problems. somewhere along the way all of my audio had pops in it. this includes protools, ableton, etc. i suspect it has to do with driver choices. i am confused by waves driver vs. asio, and the ableton manual choices states "direct i/o (for use with digidesign products)" so i'm stumped, waves?asio? direct i/o? i plan to move on up to le 6.7 soon. i have followed the windows guidelines from digi...bus..dma enable...hyper threading off, etc. basically i am ready to learn protools, i got hooked on ableton but want to use pt as the boss. i have had success bussing ableton to protools for my drum loops and keys, and recording my guitar into pt with amplitube. i may just back everything up and reinstall it. anyway, thanks a lot, i think it is the driver biz, because i tried different ones and somewhere i goofed!
