I was writing an article for my website ("5 Reasons To Buy FL Studio 12" - -reasons-to-buy-fl-studio-12/ ...shameless plug), when I got to thinking...how many music producers are currently using a cracked version of FL studio?
I'm a Linux newbie. I recently installed Pop!_OS 22.04 because of its hybrid graphic driver. The problem is that when I open the Android Studio emulator, the system audio starts to crackle and there is a ticking sound whether when the audio is played by the emulator or other applications.
There are some backgrounds to this. I had been using the system like this for a month now and the problem got worse. Even when the emulator was not running, the audio crackling continued. Turns out, one of my speakers gave up (front-right), and I suspect this issue to be the culprit.
Got myself a MacBook Pro 16 inch now when M1 released and I am having quite some issue with it in terms of sound. I'm sure you all have read about the speakers crackling/popping (or whatever you want to call it) and I am experiencing that too, which has been going on for 2 months now pretty much. No issues when not using heavy apps, not even rendering in premiere, but playing Cities Skylines (Ignore xD) and producing using DAW's is creating REALLY bad crackles and pops.
However the bigger concern I have is that I really cannot play anything with a lower buffer rate, even though the project is easy and cpu is still idling at 80% (Fl only using 10% of cpu). However its still giving me massive cracklings when opening piano roll, during playback and especially noticeable when moving around the timeline while playing. Constant crackling.
I am looking for advice on anything else I can try to get a TonePort UX2 working on Windows 10. It crackles continuously during playback no matter what the buffer size, power settings, system load, which feels like a driver problem to me.
Hi all... I too am getting that crackling noise - I've even looked around and someone suggested audio incompatibilities with asio and windows 10 - so i installed the asio4all drivers - and Nope - no change. I tried changing the power balance - Nope. Line 6 sent me a link with troubleshoots and things to try - nope nothing. I actually brought an entirely new computer because it was doing the same thing on my old one, which was then equated to be an issue with my computer not the line 6 product via contacting line 6 directly... which now i can clearly see its not - and that was using a windows 7 based system. I've changed my cables, my mixer, using UX2 direct to computer and not using uX2 direct for recording, I've tried different guitars, Installing old drivers vs installing new ones, reauthorizing the product, different usb ports.... the only thing i haven't tried is a new UX2 unit. I really think this is truly a driver and windows 10 incompatibility issue and am now being forced to look at alternative companies and products in order to record my music. This is my last attempt to find help in fixing this issue. I really don't know what else to try, i love my UX2 but feel that i will have to look elsewhere for my guitar tones going forward as I can't use a product that isn't working properly on my recordings.
I'm not sure if I get the same crackling as you guys. I bought the Ux2 on 2013 and used it on windows. I got the crackling sound on whatever I was recording and in my case I solved it unplugging and re plugging the interface like 2 or up to 4 times until I got rid of it. Now I use it on a Mac and it's still there... It's annoying but I got it solved that way. I don't know if my crackling differs from yours.
Update on the UX2 situation:
Today was the last day that piece of crap ruins my recording sessions and messes with my overall mood and experience. I had enough with that device. God honest truth, I couldn't afford a new interface for so long, when the pandemic hit I was Isolated for the longest time without much to do other than recording, this devices really taught me about patience and how much I wanted to record. I kept getting great recording takes, but guess what? the crackling sound kept appearing and I had to re do a lot of stuff over and over. It really started messing with all my recording experience, overall mood and even mental peace & also the joy it used to bring to me. Cause I had to do everything over and over, check for crackling sounds and it really wasn't fun to get annoyed, knowing you are not messing up, it's the malfunctioning UX2. It ruined a lot of takes and tracks from 3 big recording projects I had going on for a period of 3 years (20+ songs)
Today I had it... It was finally enough...
I thought of how much I was disliking the process and getting angry because of this device. I took a breath before taking the next step, I understood there was no way around this or going back after it, I would have to wait a bit for the next interface to arrive and would be able to finish until then, but would get a more calmer and easier experience if I went through with destroying it and getting a new one. I was already planning on getting a new interface (Honestly I don't want anything to do with line 6 and will only be using their lousy service in my favor with free helix accounts and probably the new dl4 but we'll see..)
So finally, I stood up, unplugged everything and had the most freeing moment with this piece of crap when I destroyed it. It broke and flew into a lot of tiny pieces. I'm not kidding, most of my recording frustration didn't came from anything else other than that device. It got destroyed and I felt so so so relieved!
Really. I thought I would feel bad or something or that I could have sold it. But nah, it had to go, I'm not selling this crap of a device to anyone. Had to be destroyed and it felt good. I didn't care for that thing anymore, and it was now gone and I did felt all that weight gone and disolved when I broke that. No regrets at all.
Honest customer opinion from 11 years of using it?
Don't get near it. On an overall 11 years I probably could use it without any malfunctions about a solid 3 months. The crackling could be heard in the first demos I made back in 2012 and in the last recording I made on 2023 before it was so joyfully destroyed.
Seriously, avoid this crap, and obviously Line 6 should remove all their malfunctioning products, it seems just a brand made in series, but never in serious. Shame on you Line 6 and the whole team of developers and marketing, for gasligthing customers and still selling this crap that isn't actually working. You guys should even put it out for good. But hey, who is gonna notice? And who is gonna sue for this kind of sh*t?
Final solution?
Destroy it, smile, get another one, smile again and don't ever worry about crackling sounds EVER AGAIN.
Wanted to take a picture of it and upload it, but hey, you can picture that yourselves. Cheers & bon voyage
Using a vinyl plotter conveniently also requires an easy cutting software solution. ECS works awesome with my Roland CAMM-1 cutting plotter. Its auto image tracing, powerful editing tools and advanced rhinestone features make it the perfect choice for vinyl cutter software.
I am using your window film software for my Graphtec vinyl cutter and its great as its really simple and easy to use and does exactly what i need it for. If you have a cutting machine, I really highly recommend this software.
When I recently fired my home studio rig up, I noticed a few cracks and pops coming through the right channel. I had not experienced this before and spent a lot of time researching where the problem may be coming from.
Using unbalanced cables can be an issue in home studios, especially when the mains ground is less than perfect. Finding the exact cause of your unwanted noise can be stressful, so hopefully, the following troubleshooting guide will ease your agony.
The first thing we are going to determine is if the crackling sound is confined to one channel only or if it is coming from both sides. Listen to each monitor separately and figure out if the unwanted noises are coming from one side or from both sides.
If you have a second set of monitors attached through your studio controller or audio interface - switch to these and see if the crackling goes away. If it does, it looks like either the connection between the controller and the main monitors, or the power supply to the monitors, are at fault.
Continue to isolate each item of gear in your signal path. Use headphones in your Audio Interface or Studio Controler to work back towards the DAW. This way, you are isolating the monitors, and it is easy to see if the crackling is coming from a particular source.
If the crackling sound is pulsing this can point to a problem with software such as your iOS, DAW, or device drivers. After you exhaust the other troubleshooting steps reinstall software and ensure you have the latest drivers for all your audio gear. You can also try increasing the buffer size for audio interfaces.
So im using the Magix Movie Edit Pro 2018 steam edition. I used to never have this problem but now everytime i got to edit a video, the playback audio is just consitently buzzing/crackling. i tried to change the buffer size(up and down), i've changed the Sample Rate, and nothing works. even after exporting it doesnt work. my PC is pretty strong and im just lost on how to fix it. ive also thrown my videos into a free editing software and theres no problems with audio, it seems to only be with the Magix Software im using. when i also play my videos back they sound good until i put them into editing. Im uploading an example of what it sounds like and this is also a clip thats been exported through the editing software. if anybody can help it'll be very appreciated
