    Hello VSL team!  I did all the last updates for Mir Pro,  VE 5 and VI Pro yesterday...

    The problem I have is I hear crackles and pops when I play with my Oxygen M-Audio midi keyboard...  I don't hear any crackles when I use the

    VI Pro 2 virtual keyboard...

    I tried with my EW library and other libraries with my midi keyboard and I don't hear any problem.  It just do it with VSL libraries.  Hmm

    I tried Mir Pro stand alone,   VI pro 2 stand alone,  VE server in cubase,  ect...  There are pops and crackles with all of them...

    I tried :    - to connect my keyboard on different USB ports

                   - to change latency,  in cubase,  in Mir Pro,  in my VSL22 audio usb card,  ect

                   -  to change preload buffer size

    ...  But it still do the problem...  Can you help me with this?

    My configuration is : 3930k,  32 gb 2133,  asus p9x79 pro,  windows 7 pro.

    Thank you for your time!

    Hello Vincent,

    Did you try with ASIO drivers? One option would be www.asio4all.com

     Hello Paul!

    Thank you very much for your help.  It is better with Asio 4 all,  but not perfect...  I still ear smal artefacts when I'm playing rapidily with the midi keyboard...

    In approximately one month I restart all my computer...  Maybe it will solve the problem.  [:S]

    Hi Vincent, 

    Running MIR PRO and VE PRO and all the advanced software, you´ll definitely benefit from a good soundcard and ASIO driver.

    USB audio interfaces will not make you happy on the long run, I´m afraid.

     Thank you Paul for your help!

    I don't really do live recording.  Sometimes I record a singer or a musician,  one at a time...

    Do you have something in mind that could solve my problem?  I guess I would need firewire interface?  Or internal PCI?  Is

    there any basic model that could do it for me?

    Thank you,

    Vincent

    Hi Vincent, 

    The best idea is to talk to your favourite music-store. They will tell you which hardware is best for you. 

    We´ll help with the software parts!

    I understand Paul. 

    But to resolve my software problem,  do I need a firewire interface?

    Thank you,

    Does your soundcard have a MIDI input? Have you tried just connecting via a MIDI cable rather than through USB?

    Hello Vincent, 

    You can try with a firewire interface, or with a PCI card (if you have a desktop machine).... many many many options. And your local dealer should be able to help you there!

    I never had those glitchs before.  I'll try to format my computer soon.  If it do not resolve my problem I'll buy an other card.

    Thank you DG and Paul,  have a good day!
