hi piddi,

thanks for your reply. there's no external midi equipment, yes it skips even with short wav files looped, and there aren't any extraneous programs running, in the taskbar or otherwise.

guess we ruled out HD probs then.

next thing we didnt make clear: have you updated your BIOS and motherboard drivers? disabled onboard audio?

and i reckon you are sure you use ASIO SCOPE, and not ASIO multimedia or direct drivers in VST multirack settings in cubase.

I’m sorry you are having this problem!

I HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME ONE!

I was surprised to see there was somebody that had lost the exact same file as I did. I have a self-built PC, I have taken most care with it, so no hardware issues or anything else. I was thinking that the problem was SP2 or perhaps SFP 4.0. I am temped to go back to SFP 3.1c as I am experiencing too many crackles and pops as well, as I have never experienced.

I have killed the C drive several times, reinstalled everything and the problem persists… it is so strange. At least you are not alone…

lets see what the hell was it when we find the answer.

I will inform you here, if I find something... I am also forced to have my DAW ready to work in short... this is getting me crazy too.

Noise and a dell computer

I have both. or rather, i still have the dell, but no more noise problems (for the moment). Getting very frustrated a few weeks ago (http://www.planetz.com/forums/viewtopic ... 69&forum=1) I decided to give it another try and started reading this thread.

Thanks Antar for the view by connection in the device manager.

It turned out that my luna2 and my fire wire port are on the same PCI bridge. Disabeling my fire wire port solved my noise problem (also i changed the ULLI settings in the set box of the scope platform to the lowest values).

Thanks for everyones suggestions

Jeroen

Just a long shot......
Have you configured SX properly? You can set audio priority and MIDI latency in the device settings.
I think though really that something is hogging your PCI BUS. Probably the video card. I had a similar problem once and bought a Matrox G550 and the problem disapeared.
Really though, an OS reinstall is no big deal and only takes an hour max. And disable everything you don't need. ACPI shouldn't be a problem these days with XP. And use NTFS not FAT 32.
Oh and DMA?

Exactly the same problem with my new Dell Dimension 8400.
It sounds like the computer is not recording all the samples, but from time to time skipping a few.

What's the solution???
