Default Playback Quality/Horrible

Hey all,
I'm running PT 10.3 using OS 10.7.5 with a digirack 003+ and when I play sessions in PT, sounds fine....now when i bounce to disk with these settings;
MP3, Interleaved 16bit, 44.1, tweak head(slowest), convert during bounce.

When I play it back on my phone or iTunes...I get really bad clicks and all kinds of horrible stuff. My band mates on their devices hear it. It's like during bounce, something is happening to the quality. Now these are just guitar riffs that I recorded, so they are not full sessions.
Any ideas on fix?
Thanks!

Have you double-checked your bounce source, to make sure you're bouncing what you intend to?

I did and a couple issues with that is that the volume comes out way low...I have to max a lot of the settings in PT to bring it up and you what happens with that? lol More cracks clips and other nonsense. And I need my band mates to listen to it in mp3 format....and it doesn't email in wav...atleast it won't with aol.

Bounce source is ANalog1-2(Stereo)-> Analog 1-2...looks like the right source to me.

Something else I noticed at the beginning of the track there's no audio because I haven't played, the moment I start playing is when it starts to to cracks, almost like a really bad click track....like a bad skip on a CD....does that help? lol

hey guys !
i'm new here ... and I registered up because i've got just the same problem since yesterday and was looking for a solution.
been working and mixing since a week or 2 on live recordings of my band, never had any problem when i was bouncing mixes to WAV and MP3, all sounded great !
yesterday did some last tweaking, bounced it with the same bit depth and sample rate as earlier, but now there's a annoying crack in the playback ....

what the hell happened ?

please advice
grtz,
Berre

So I still haven't managed to find what the problem is with the ticking sounds of the mp3 and wav files that i bounced down to. Anyone have any other suggestions?

real time or non-real time bounce? I'm thinking a PI might not like FRT

Also need to check specs on computer. If a hard drive is under spec could cause issue

If your only recording to 1 drive (no secondary drive) will cause issue


Drivers updated? Why aren't you running at least 10.3.7?
