Annoying pops

I am exporting a final project to stereo WAV file, and keep getting some annoying pops.  I'm not 100% certain but have pretty much narrowed it down to a few tracks using PerfectSpace convolution reverb.  They are randomly occuring, not reproducible at the same spot each time.  It was occurring during mixing, I assumed it was overtaxing my audio engine and would disappear with final conversion to audio, but does not.  I have all my synths frozen.  It occurs even when soloing only track(s) with PerfectSpace that I think are the offenders (not sure if soloing decreases work load on the processing or not.)
 
I thought I might try individually bouncing each track to incorporate the effect and then delete it, but I'm not seeing Bounce to Track in the menu, only Bounce to Clip, which I don't think includes the effect in the bounce.  (I'm in Sonar X2.)
 
Suggestions appreciated.

    You could try increasing the buffer size in the ASIO control panel or the slider in SONAR for WDM depending on the record mode. "Bounce to Track(s)" is in the Track View Tracks menu, just to the left of the Clips menu containing "Bounce to Clip(s). In the future you might want to post in the forum above for SONAR X series.

    I cranked up the buffer size and that seems to have gotten rid of the problem, thanks.  Sorry about posting in the wrong forum, I am usually in the X series forum and grabbed the wrong one.

    Glad that got you fixed up. It is common to track at a small buffer setting and mix at a larger one. FYI, you might also benefit from another 4GB of RAM if you are using 64bit SONAR.
