asked Jun 22, 2019 in StudioLive Series III by winkdot (150 points)
On a Win 10 with latest updates (6/22/2019)
8 core processor (AMD) - 4.0 mhz
16 gig memory

Studio one pro (4.5.1) - UC - 3.0.1 (latest version)
SSD HD
Studiolive 16R (latest firmware)

This all seemed to start after I applied the latest firmware updates to Studiolive but I also updated UC and Studio One to the latest. Extreme pops and cracks on playback of any recorded material. I've messed with buffer sizes and all that jazz but nothing helped at all. CPU load is low. I've turned off all FX plug-ins. No change.

Sorry I don't know the answer but I wish someone could answer it because I have the same problem using the Audiobox96 with Reaper!

Could be a plethora of things.

Maybe check the active processes to see if anything is eating away cpu performance in the background.

Some other recently installed audio software (daw, vst, plugin,..) could be messing with the audio output as well.

Good luck
