awful noise when playback mic recording

alexaconn · Sep 24, 2005, 03:09 PM

HI,

Can anyone help me with this? (using SONAR 4PE and the kx drivers and mixer, 1GB RAM, 3.2GHz processor)...

When I playback my mic recording, there is so much pops and crackles it is useless.

I have tried hundreds of combinations of settings but cannot get rid of noise problems...

Can anybody give me settings to try on both the ASIO drivers and the KX mixer settings?

Much appreciated as I'm ready to cry!!

Alex

what model is your card?

What latency are you using?

I've just discovered something strange. It's nothing to do with SONAR....In desperation I tried a test - opened Sound Forge and Winamp and played a midi file in winamp, recording "what u hear" in SF and the same bubbling, popping, crackling happened on playback of the SF file.....????

My system plays sounds cleanly but something is interfering during the recording I think...any ideas?

Hello alexaconn,

Hopefully you found a solution for this problem after 2.5 years, but just in case anyone else reads this... The same problem was solved by changing the sample rate in the recording application from whatever it is to 48kHz.
