im looking for some advice on integrating hardware into logic. Im running a phono line out of logic into a zoom multi effects unit then back in through the i/o utility plug. Everythings fine for about 5 minutes then a crackling noise starts whenever there is audio being processed. I tried changing the buffer size in logics preferences and this solves the problem for about 5 minutes then it starts again. I know its not the effects unit because the same thing happens with all my other hardware units aswel. Im using a esi maya 4in 4out audio interface which is brand new so i dont think its that . so im preety stumped , any ideas? its doin my head in!

98%...its your soundcard...cannot be anything ealse..
2%...its cpu..

by soundcard do you mean the audio interface or my macbook soundcard??

are output from logic coming out of macbook phono out?

i have my usb audio interface sending stereo rca to fx then same back in again , if you think its the interface , cud you reccommend a better one?

We have plenty of info here in forum obout soundcards..
My honest opinion of usb audio interface is:

im starting to think the same thing m8

Firewire is by far, a better option if you can go there. I have been using an MAudio firewire 410 for about 6 years and it keeps on going, no problems what so ever. Im using it with an oldskool PPC G5 from about 2004 and never have any issues. Loads of other options out there im sure but thought i would chip in!

I had this bug happen to logic actually. After a few (50 mins or so logic starts to make a crackling noise.. really odd. but i updated to the latest version and it went. Might me this and not the soundcard. just a thought
