smoochdaddy Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Hello, I have always worked with midi, except when I first got my logic pro 9 last year (so I have not done that much audio recording). I have logic pro 9, an mac pro 8 core and an m-box pro. When I am recording audio, I am getting a popping sound when I play back the recording ( even in the middle of the take). It pops or clicks. I have recorded with the pedal board and amp designer and even a single guitar track with no distortion and even a clean vocal track (even one that I recorded months ago too). I have tried a native instruments plugin for guitar and it still does it. There is no clipping, no over load and I have gone from my mixer (yamaha) direct into the m-box and the popping sound is still there. I have pro tools 8 (which I never use) and everything is fine. I can do a stutter effect or just recreate the same things that I noted above and it is fine. No pops. Has anyone had this problem. Thanks so much in advance. Lou.

smoochdaddy Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 I have also tried an audio loop from the loop section and there is a little less popping. It seems to happen at the moment that I press play and the moment that I stop play with the space bar. I think that It has been there all the time that I have had logic, but I never had recorded audio that much. I have never noticed this happening with the midi that I have been working with.

triplets Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Do you record to a second internal HD on your mac pro? If not, you should. Do the clicks happen when you use built-in audio in Logic? If not then the problem is the Digi driver for the mbox pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoochdaddy Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 Hi, thanks for the reply. I do record to a second hard drive. I am going to install another digi driver. I will let you know if that works. Thanks again. Lou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoochdaddy Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 Hi, I checked the line input and output and there is still a popping sound. So I did bypass the m-box pro all together. Is this just a normal thing when you start and stop audio? It's like a pop or clip sound. Kind of like as if you were hearing the audio starting and stopping (you know because of the track you recorded has noise on it, starting and stopping, would seem normal to hear the audio come in). This I can see. But it is very loud and there is no clipping of the meter, I have even tried it at almost 0 volume. thanks in advance Lou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Sometimes there's a pop on hitting play when you have latency inducing plugins going, like multipressor, adaptive limiters and maximizers, more from 3rd parties than Logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoochdaddy Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 Hi, I re-installed the drivers for the m-box pro and it is much better. I really notice it on the Native Instruments guitar Gear plugin that I have when recording. I have only recorded acoustic guitar and vocals before and never really noticed it, It does not happen at all when the audio track is blank (nothing recorded or on the track).

smoochdaddy Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 Hi, I just wanted to follow up. I reinstalled a driver for the m-box pro and left the computer for a day (leaving the current session that I had been in). I then this afternoon opened logic and played my guitar through the input on the m-box pro. There was no clipping or popping. Then I went and added the guitar gear plugin to the chain for Native Instruments, and then the popping started again. I don't know what is causing it, but if it is the plugin, then that is a great thing. I don't want a problem with Logic that i cant fix. I can worry about the plugin latter. Please let me know if anyone is having this issue for recording audio, or when they install the Native Instruments guitar gear. By the way it was a free plugin from their site, so thats why I am not worried at this moment. Thanks Lou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Looks like the Native plugin might be the culprit. You can try Guitar Amp Pro, and Amp Designer, both included in Logic 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
