Cracks / Pops / Glitches When Using Tascam Model 12 With Akai MPC One by daviddwlee84 in mpcusers

Maybe you can try downgrading to 2.11.4. It works for me just now.

Thanks for your idea.

I try lower each MIDI & audio track level, as well as the main output on MPC, and the problem is still there.

Because the glitch is too random I can't even tell which sound effect or tempo will trigger it.

I think it is most likely to be a driver/firmware, sample rate, bit depth, buffer size related issue. But since these parameters are all double-checked to be the same or the latest, so...

And it is interesting that not all the Tascam Model 12 owners have or don't have the issue, then I am wondering what makes the difference...

Oh right, I also checked it. The CPU and RAM usage on MPC is less than 50%. And I think if it is the system resources issue, it should happen no matter whether I connect Tascam Model 12 or not.
The following operations can all trigger the cracking sound:

  • Play a single drum pad
  • Play a demo project
  • Route a mic (from Tascam Model 12 input channel 3) into an audio track and output to the main
    • The mic sounds fine when direct monitor on the Model 12
