Default Can't hit the spacebar without a pop at the end

I recently completed the latest update for Pro Tools 10 LE and now nearly every time I hit the spacebar to stop recording I have a loud pop at the end of the clip. I know I can avoid it by stopping record then hitting spacebar but that's annoying. Is there a fix?
Thanks!

There's no such thing as ProTools 10 LE ... The last release to be LE was 8 ...

The "every time I hit the spacebar to stop recording I have a loud pop" sounds to me like you have a routing issue on one or more of your tracks ... Check that your signal flow is correct.

Having the same issue... seems like a lot are.

Why would you blame a routing issue? What would cause pops on stop that has to do with routing?

EDIT: can you post your machine specs by the way?

The sudden absence or presence of sound often causes a pop. I have gotten this result in the past when routing was an issue.

If a track is set to go out the main output but running "Bounce to Disk" puts ProTools in RECORD mode even though no tracks are record enabled can cause certain tracks to be muted due to plugins, routing, whatever. When running the bounce and it doesn't sound right stopping it will cause a momentary burst or pop of that track because of latency, ADC, etc.

Certain things as I describe can also cause the same result when stopping audio because the routing is weird and when you hit the space bar the plugin, latency, ADC or whatever makes its presence known.

Simply something to check for that's bit me before.

I have the same problem! Verrry annoying!!
Especially if the vocalist has their headphones at 11.
They almost die on me when the pop is played back..

Try to activate delay compensation. It works for me.

I was getting the same issue after recording and stopping. I used pro tools prefs and data base helper

a free utility and the pop issue is gone. My guess is its the data bases are the culprit.

Give it a try then reboot and I bet your pops will be gone.
