  • Long static pops? (p.2)

What I'm discovering is that the scratching static popping sounds are happening with any movement of the mouse, while recording or even recording vocals, etc when at 258 buffer size. When i increase the buffer to 512, it stops but the delayed latency will be a problem. In preferences there is no middle as I am using asio. I have a focusrite 6i6 audio interface. Syncing and caching are also set at whatever i set the buffer rate at. They allow plus and minus buffer settings, but I'm not sure where they can set at other than what the device is set to. I also disabled my network adapter and swithced usb ports in back. Cables are fine. My other songs don't have this problem as they don't have as many effects. I'm only using 4 plugins on 6 different trax. Using up 24 tracks as well

Ah. And a high-frequency whine, too?
That's a digital ground loop. Your interface and your computer have separate ground connections.
I have this ever since I got a Roland OctaCapture.
 
Nothing to do with plug-ins, buffer sizes or the like.
 
The solution is a bit more difficult.
 
Do you have monitors connected or are you using headphones?
What happens if you disconnect your speakers completely and only listen on headphones?
Is it still there?

AHA! This happened to me once. I have a logitec mouse and the driver that Windows installed for it caused a click.
 
Switching to the official Logitec driver fixed my issue. I had to download it from the vender.

gswitz is on to something. I had a similar issue with a wireless Logitech mouse as well.
Try another mouse as a test.
 
PS- you change the buffer rate for your Focusrite in the devices tab in preferences.
there is a rectangular box you click to open up a separate pop up screen with buffer / Asio buffer rate.

If it's a bad mouse, it should have caused an issue with the Latency Monitor. That assumes you let your mouse go quiet and then started using it again.

It turns out I have no problems in any other project. This project gave me problems when trying to open it from the start screen. It would crash. So I had to open it up from within another open project. Once I bundled it, I saved it as project once again and now I can at least open it from start screen. However, it may be corrupted somehow still enough to cause this scratching pops when recording a vocal track. I do have 24 tracks going, but I have 22 in another which gives me no problems. I don't want to scrap the song because I worked hard and everything is done but the vocals. I've been looking for a way to start a new project and import one by one the tracks from the problem song until I've maybe found a possible problem track or eliminate the corrupted whatever by a fresh start. Is there a way to import tracks from one project into another? Or by everything I just explained do you have a possible solution? I can eliminate the problem if I want to deal with high latency of 1024!

I personally never use Bundle files (if that's what you meant by "Once I bundled it, I saved it as project").
I have had issues with Bun files in the past.
Now on to trying to fix it, you can open it in safe mode by holding down SHIFT and opening the project.
You will be presented with a window to load plug ins / this will help you find an offender if it is a plug in causing it (possibly a high latency plug in) or a plug in that's just causing issues.
 
I typically make sure all my tracks are "Bounced to clips" so all tracks are 1 full track and not 10 little clips making up 1 track. try to get them to line up (this makes it easier to import to a new project).
Drag all the tracks at once to the Browser (create a sub directory where you know where it is).
you can also drag 1 at a time to give them a custom name if you so choose.
Now you can import them one by one by dragging them from that folder to a new project.
 
you might be able to save the current project as a project template. this way everything is all set for the new project. however it could be a corrupt project and saving a corrupt project as a template would be a big No for me.

Something similar happened to me on a specific project. Moving the mouse was causing huge static pops.
I toggled every plugin on and off and found the issue. For me it was an instance of TH3 causing it. Deleted the plugin, saved the project and re-inserted TH3. It fixed the problem.
