Not only is my audio all crackly, but there is a hesitation at the beginning of every file that results in the first second or two being cut off. For example, a voiceover that should say "Check out the new BOSE Satellite XP..." now says "t the new BOSE Satellite XP..." If I move the file to the right on the timeline, the hesitation occurs in a dead zone and you don't hear it, but you can still see the timeline "hiccup" when you first click start.
WTF is going on?????
Hi Tom,
Sounds like you might've set the buffer size and/or buffer number too low for your audio interface. Start with something like 1024 buffer size and 6 Out Preload Buffers. Maybe bigger/more. Once you get smooth playback, start setting those to smaller and smaller numbers. When you've gone too far (stuttering playback and/or prompts complaining about buffer overruns), bump the Preload Buffers number up two or so. Then you should be set.
