I'm using 10.9.5 OS X with a firewire duet and a ribbon mic running thru a tube pre amp . The recording's all have poppy crackly sounds. Tried different sample and bit rates . All my levels are in the green or below 0db on the pre amp. Any help would be greatly appreciated .

Re: Popping sound on all my recordings
Are you using the line-in on the Duet?
Have you tried another mic?
Which mic and preamp are you using exactly?
And, perhaps, which Audacity version are you using?

Re: Popping sound on all my recordings
Yes i'm using the line in and it's set to 4db to match the output of the pre amp. I have not tried another mic a don't have one but i have used the mic on other DAW's without any problems. I'm using a art MPA 2 preamp with a royer sf-12 on Audacity 2.1.2 . thanks

Re: Popping sound on all my recordings
Try How can I prevent clicky recordings on Mac OS X?. But that is working content for the next Audacity 2.1.3 Manual, so don't read any other content there.
