[QUOTE="Groovetube, post: 1826214, member: 223633"] re buffer, yes, its the other way around. Higher buffer settings is for systems with less power to handle things, setting it lower (ie 128 or below) can cause all kinds of glitches and pops to outright CPU overload stoppages. I currently have mine set to 256, though sometimes I can get 128, Im using a quad i7 4.2 iMac. unfortunately higher buffer settings gives higher latency, so monitor your source not through your daw. So set the buffer way up (like 512 or more) and test things, bring it down until you get problems. Theres your setting. Regarding frequency, it. may be what you're recording in, some people will max things out recording it at 24/192, there's just no reason to do so, most of us doing pro work, my most used setting is 24bit at 48KHz. sometimes I get requests at 88.1 or 96KHz, and when I use 96, even with the heavy audio racks with 16 cores of sharc chips in those racks, its pretty taxing. So consider what you're recording at, if its super high, drop it. Your system will better handle lower res audio. Just keep the 24bit, many I know just record at 44.1, even major records. And, having a very very clean system, is imperative to problem free recording. As an aside I (as well as everyone else it seems) have found Mojave to have some issues with audio. Pro tools wasn't qualified for Mojave until a month ago, and there's still bugs. Logic is going to be better. [/QUOTE]
