I've come up against a problem that I havn't had until know. When I mix using
bounce to disk I get a crackling on the bounced file. It doesn't crackle
during the bounce, but when I play back the bounced file, it crackles on
the left channel.
So far I've tried removing all plugs on the master buss, and I've tried bouncing
individual sub groups. Crackling is present in all instances.
I will be trying to figure this out today, but if anyone has had this before,
I would welcome the advice.

I'm not pushing the levels so it's not "over" induced and I run my master
fader at -0.03
Crackling is present even when bouncing a sub mix with one track on it. No
overload light on submix.
Rod

Hi Rod.. Try bouncing onto another drive on you system to take the load off
of your recording drive.

And if you're in XP, disable all the services discussed on my tweaks page.

my cubase one is probably more thorough too

Could it be the EDS card that the bounced channels are playing
though? IOW, are you importing the bounced mix into a different
submix/EDS card that's not being utilized in the main mix?

No, I've thought of that and ruled that out. I Played the bounced files in
both the ppj that I mixed in, plus I opened them in a fresh ppj and tested
on various submixes. Snap, crackle, and Pop on all.
At this point I'm suspecting a 1. bad eds card 2. word clock issues 3. corrupt
ppj. My gut tells me it's a corrupt. We'll see

I've had that stuff turned off since day one. (checked again, to be sure)
Thanks though.

If you pull the cards, clean the contacts and the daughterboard contacts too
with a contact cleaner

Have you tried bouncing the bus through an global external insert then using
SPDIF to tap/record to a set of tracks, ala BT Autotune trick?

Any plugs running? Autotune is bad for this if the input to the plug is
hot.

Yeah...all sorts of plugs. No auto tune though. It's not related anything
too hot...happens sometimes in quite parts also
It looks like it may by related to the UAD 4.7 plugs, the one with the Neve
88rs. I re-ghosted my system back to a version with UAD 4.6, did a bounce
(of course I was missing the 88rs plugs) and it was clean. At the time I
thought it was just because I had a fresh install of the OS, Paris, etc.
I then re-installed the UAD 4.7 to get back the Neve 88rs plug and I started
getting the same problem. I'm going to set up a quick mix on a fresh ppj
to rule out a corrupted ppj, but that's where I'm at right now.

I thought of that, but havn't tried it yet. 2 reasons. 1.right now, I'm using
the spdif on the A card to connetc to the DAC-1, which connects to my monitors.
I'd have to change that all around, and right now, I'm hoing not to have
to go through that, as it's next to impossible to get to the back of my Mecs.
2. It seems like, while that may prove to be an acceptable work around, I'd
like to get to the bottom of whats going on that causes the problem in the
first place.
I'll probably end up trying it, if I can't get it sussed out.
check my response to EK's post for what I've found out so far.
Thanks

drag. Well, I guess you could always pull up a more current box, set up
super low latency and native/adat pipe the plugs if Paris won't get along.

Well...I had to go out of town for a couple days and since I've got back I've
been trouoble shooting the problem I posted about last week.
I've definatly got it narrowed down to the UAD plugs. Now I think it may
be a bad UAD card. Not sure yet, still more tests to do tommorrow. It's either
a software rev. mismatch with Paris, or a card. I ghosted my system back
to the 4.6 UAD version and I still get clicks and pops. I think I have a
4.5 version ghosted. going to try that tommorrow. If it still has the pops,
I'll start pulling cards. Got 3 of em.
When I get rid of the UAD plugs the pops go away.
No, I'm not driving the plugs too hard. :-)
No overs anywhere. I set up an incrediably safe mix for testing this.

Render the plug, redo the mix without the plug on.

Hi Rod,

I'm pretty sure this happens because there aren't enough CPU resources.
If you have hyperthreading turned off, I've been using a dual core fix for
a couple of months now with no issues. We could try turning hyperthreading
on and using the fix to see if that solves the crackle.

Good luck!

Yeah, I'll take you up on that. So you think by turning hyperthreading on,
and usuing your dual core fix, which will fix the hyperthreading issue, it
will fix the problem?
Just to give you a little more info. I just tried a bounce to disk of a mix
that only contained 1 track of UAD plugs..Uad Fairchild and Cambridge. I
still got clicks and pops (about 6 total). when I get rid of all the UAD
plugs there are no clicks or pops.
I have 3 UAD cards.
I'd be willing to give it a try. Thanks

Hi Rod,

I'll post some instructions on my website later today.

I think what is happening is that the PCI bus is tying up the 1 cpu and samples
are overflowing a buffer and not making it to disk. With a second CPU. it
may be enough to keep things moving smoothly. We'll just have to try it.

All the best,

Mike

Rod,
In my P3 days when it got to the edge I'd get those clicks too.
I understand you don't really get three times the power from three UADs.
Maybe their resources are also on the brink?

Hey Mike, after I get the P4 happening again I'll take you up on the =
Hyperthreading fix.

Hi Rod,

Here's the text from a post I did a little while ago. It's not quite complete.
It turns out that you also need the intaffinity flag set for it to work.
I just had that set for other reasons already, so I didn't know it was part
of the fix.

So, to add the intaffinity switch, open c:\boot.ini and add "/INTAFFINITY"
so that the line reads something like:

[Operating Systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional
- int affinity" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn /INTAFFINITY /usepmtimer

I've attached my boot.ini for reference.

The rest of my old post is as follows:

Hi All,

I'm not sure how many people this affects, but I recently picked up a C16
and was finally faced with the dual core/c16 issues first hand.

I've only tested for about an hour, but PARIS has worked perfectly for that
long without disabling the second CPU, and it froze up immediately without
the fix.

I'm using Windows XP pro with an Athlon X2 3800+ with 2 EDS cards and one
C16.

The fix is a utility that you can launch before starting PARIS that assigns
the PARIS software to one CPU. I selected CPU 1 for my tests. This leaves
the other CPU free to run a MIDI sequencer, do Windows housekeeping, or whatever.

The cpu software is here:

http://images.tomshardware.com/2004/05/28/getting_more_bang_ out_of_your_dual_processing_buck/taskassign.zip

If anyone has trouble downloading it, I could post it.

There's a tab called "application profiles" where you can browse for software
to assign a cpu affinity for it. As long as the program is running before
PARIS starts, everything seems to work fine.

Let me know if any of this is unclear.

All the best,

Mike

After more testing, I'm not sure it's the UAD's after all. I ghosted back
to a version of the UAD that I could render (4.6) and rendered all plugs.
When bouncing the mix with no UAD's I still got a couple of clicks...these
happen in different places. Not repeatable. I think your explanation maybe
closer than you think. Maybe I'm just pushing the system to the edge. This
is a 24 bit mix, tracks and bounce. When I rendered the UAD plugs I created
several new tracks as I was doing a bit of parallel compression. That makes
sensse. Before, when testing, I just got rid of the UAD plugs...no compesastion
for the tracks, just for the test...in other words...no new new tracks added=no
new overhead-UAD plugs=no pops. Rendering the UAD plugs=more overhead because
of higher track count that offsets the UAD plugs that are now gone=pops.

have a dual core cpu?
