Pops and clicks when scrolling

[luka2807]

I checked everrything:
background services, no IRQ sharing, tried with 16bit graphics, no fancy visual effects

result:
zero, nada

Still having clicks and pops when trying to change track height. Increasing latency and switching to real time mode dont seem to improve anyting.

cheers

Changed graphics drivers, changed pci latency?

I used to get this quite a bit with a desktop machine i had, i changed the graphics card for an equally old low-spec one from another machine and it went away completely.

The pci latency tool also helped, although if i remember right there was no way to force it to persist after a reboot. There's various ones around, the one that worked for me was called something like PciDawg

hey Johnny,

It doesnt sound like static noise or anything related to EM radiation.

This is definately something related to PCI bus or something similar because it seems that graphic activity blocks audio driver to approach to the audio hardware and thus maiing the noise

Chico,

didnt changed the praphic drivers and PCI latency but will try it tonite. Will let you all know the results.

Here's one last sugegstion (from me, at least):

Open your "Sounds and Audio Devices" control panel, go to Volume->Advanced, and mute your cd player.

It sounds like it makes no sense, but recently I solved a similar problem for a friend of mine. The CD still played audio.

I'm sorry my suggestions didn't help

I feel ya cause I used to have this problem but more with FL studio than tracktion.

The optical mouse thing is an interesting theory......the only thing I'd say is that the clicking/cracklin' didn't happen with all aps all the time......

I wish I could help more

hey guys,

Ive just installed Tracktion 2 demo (I was using version 1.6) and voila clicks are gone even if I decrease latency to 128 samples. Great. Version 1.6 still clicks (now that I am using 128 samples latency it clicks like hell)

Jules, this is dirty trick to get me buying T2.

Btw, I tried to adjust PCI latency but Powerstrip does not show latency at all for audio chip. The field is blank. However, graphic chip use the highest priority 248.

[chico.co.uk]

If i remember right Tracktion2 defaults to a different colour scheme that T1. So again, this is likely caused by your graphics card ... why don't you try sorting out the pci latency?

[luka2807]

Hey chico,

As I said, my soundchip in laptop doesnt seem to have latency number at all. But I decreased graphic priority (used to be 248) down to 64. Unfortunately, it makes no difference whatsoever.

It looks that something has changed in audio engine and graphics from T1 to T2.

I have to admit, I get problems when the song is scrolling and my MIDI clips are zoomed in so that I can see individual notes and the black/white bands. I haven't wanted to trouble-shoot it yet, so I just zoom out when playing back a track, since I rarely use MIDI anyhow. I do acknowledge that it was a bit of an annoyance when I noticed it, though.

I have this problem if I use asio4all. If I use the drivers for my EZBUS or my EZ8. I dont have this problem. I have bad latency (40ms) with the EZ8 or asio4all. but I get 1.6ms with the EZbus drivers.

I dont know if that helps but I thought I would throw that out here.

[hello1234]

Now that I think about (remember, I'm 137 and very senile) I used to use a fw410. I think it was possessed/or maybe just had a learning dissorder.....anyways I played "2001 a space oddesey" with it (remember the monkey with the bone, picture a crobar instead) and now use an audiophile 192.

The point.........ok.........sorry.......I don't have any kinda clicks anymore........I used to have them allot......mostly with fl studio but also with tracktion and sonar.

Not sure if this is usful info or if I'm just babling......but hey.........what the hey........

I have seen this problem on both of my T2 workstations. As someone said above, it was closely zoomed MIDI clips that seemed to piss off T2 the most, which I found surprising.

The background services tweak fixed the newer machine (AMD 3500+, 1GB ram, Audiophile 2496, Nvidia 5700FX).

The second, much older machine (AMD 1800+, 1GB ram, Tascam US-122, Matrox G450) was not helped with the background processing tweak or the switch to 16 bit. The CPU meter is quite high though... it's probably strain from the USB device, but I'm still dissapointed to see it at 50-75% CPU usage without e-to-e. I only have Jamstix, a Sampletank SE bass sampler + Amplitube LE, two recorded guitars through Amplitube LE, and two instances of Finalmix (drums and master out). Am I expecting too much? This machine was a hoss using Logic, but that was with the Audiophile 24/96 in it rather than the US-122.

Still using the CD T2 version rather than the downloadable upgrade, though I doubt that will help much... will try upgrading that, and higher latency, next...

update

although tracktion works fine on my computer, FL studio is still a pop/click/crackle fest.

this has been on at least 3 different computers, 3, different soundcards, 3 cpu's, 2 differernt graphics cards.........

sheeessh, wtf?
