Re: Audio Pops During Playback

Audio Pops During Playback

Hello everyone. I have been using Audacity for some time now on my MacBook Pro. Recently I upgraded my OS to El Capitan and my Motu UltraLitemk3 Audio Interface (via USB2) failed to work. Motu states that my model is not compatible with El Capitan yet and they are working on new firmware but they al...
