Mixcraft Becoming unstable

Post by Javan21 »

Hi I'm new to the forum.
I have Mixcraft 7.7 64bit 316
And it's so unstable. I can't record a track without it popping and clicking, and the popping stays on the recorded track and there's no way to remove it. I know it's not my computer because i download the trial version of studio one because Mixcraft is making me mad and I can do everything without the popping. So please help before end up buying studio one.

Hi,

No so much unstable, but you're getting pops and clicks. Are you using ASIO mode in Mixcraft's sound device preferences? Do you have the latest audio drivers downloaded from Focusrite's web page?

You might try installing 32-bit Mixcraft and see if that works more smoothly for you. You can have both 32- and 64-bit Mixcraft installed at the same time.

No I'm using wave Rt with 5.0ms at 96000 Hz 16 bit. I'll try asio and 32bit.

Hi,

You can also try increasing your latency setting to smooth out playback.

If you run into any problems with plugins, switch to a sample rate of 44000 Hz or 48000 Hz.
