Random Distortion

[mickeymassacre]

Hey all, I am having a reoccurring issue when recording. I am only at about 12 tracks on an i7 macbook pro, running sierra and pro tools 12.7.1 HD with either, and both an Apollo Twin TB Quad, Apollo Duo rack.

I have ZERO plugins running when this happens, the buffer setting is 1024, wifi is off, bluetooth is off, and my system is configured to recommendations.

Its a random fuzzy distortion at random intervals of time.

Here is a bass track that it occurred on, but its on every single track at some point or another.

Have you recently updated your PT or interface drivers? Maybe try to going back to an earlier driver version?

I hadn't for a long time. So I updated thinking it would help, but it hasn't.

Hi Mickey,

I've experienced something similar, and I solved it by simply changing the
playback engine buffer size and back again. This was regardless of the actual buffer size. Just changing it stopped the distortion.
