So having a random issue in some recordings. It starts normal, then starts popping and clicking (but the input is not clipping at all) and starts echoing. The echoing gets worse (more of a delay) as the recording goes on. Some of the recordings eventually get back to normal and no issues.
Running Macbook Pro, Audacity 3.7.0. Recording through a XLR to USB cable, to a USB dongle to the Mac. The mac is only running Audacity, not connected to the internet. This is a random issue. It doesn’t happen on every track. Can’t tell when it’s happening until we playback.
Unfortunately it’s happening on a couple computers. (For my AV company). They all have different dongles and cables. I’ll have to take a look when I can open them. I’ll have to test with the internal mic and let you know.
The thing that might be the issue is the Macbook Pro. I have one that hasn’t had this issue and it’s a 2018, 2.7GHz Quad-Core Intel i7, 16GB Memory and 250GB storage. The ones we’ve had the issues on are 2019, 1.4GHz Quad-Core Intel i5, 16GB Memory and 121GB Storage. The issue definitely seems to happen after long blocks of recording (after 45 minutes or so). Which might be a processor issue, but I could be wrong. Any thoughts on this?
