DanielJW Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I've used the Helix as an audio interface before and have had no trouble with any noise issues. Although recently When playing back the recorded tracks using Presonus Studio One DAW I hear a lot of high pitch popping and crackling. The tracks peak at -12db so the audio isn't distorting. Even when I solo one of the tracks which can be as low as -24db the popping still occurs. I've tried using a different USB cable, using the headphone output and the 1/4 outputs and it still keeps happening. However when I tried using the Zoom R24 as my interface there were no noise issues, I also used headphones directly from my computer and there are no issues there either. I'm not sure if I've got the inputs and outputs set incorrectly or if it's set up differently to before. I've tried playing about with them and I still can't figure out why this is happening. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterHamm Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 You might want to increase your buffer. That sounds like it to me, but I use a different DAW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielJW Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 I managed to get rid of the clipping by going onto the audio setup on Studio One and under the Device Block Size I changed the settings from 64 Samples to 256 samples and it works fine for the Helix. The 64 Samples setting works fine on the Zoom R24 but not the Helix. Is there anything I could change on the Helix to use it with the 64 Samples setting?

I don't think so, but I haven't tried real hard on my Mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTRESHH Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Check - maybe you have selected "32 bit" in Helix ASIO Drivers. Changing this option to "24 bit" solve my 64samples crackles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
