Hey,
I'm new to this forum, but not new to the Pulsar world.
I have been having a lot of pops and crackles, even when the CPU performance scale in Cubase SX 2 (and now 3) is very low. (%30 percent Aprx).
The crackles have kinda of evolved from being just a few to more and more each week or month.
Also, when a project is first opened, the crackles are horrific until after I have started the song and stooped it and play it through a number of times. Almost like as if the program needs to warm up, and then after a long while (up to 10 minutes of starting and stopping) the song seems to stabilize.
I am using a number of VST instruments and effects such as Waves bundle, etc. I am also using reason.
I do remember a time when i could really push the CPU bar to almos 80% or even 90% without a problem.
Would the fact that I have 3 Pulsar 1 boards in there create a PCI problem?
I have Hyperthreading, Pentium 4 3.0 Gz, 1 Gig Ram, 10,000 rpms hard drive. 1209 mgs graphics card.
I feel my computer should be doing great. And it was..except lately.
Any ideas?
Most of the unistalling, installing, I have done, including going back to 3.1 Pulsar.
I would really appreciate any remarks re a possible cause
thank you,
