Hi I'm using an m-audio fast track pro usb interface, and I seem to be getting popping sounds in my recorded audio that are apparent on playback. Anyone else have this issue or a solution? Thanks

That is the sound of digital clipping. :-( Either the audio is clipping during record or during playback. Logic will tell you when a recording is clipping. during playback, check the levels on your master output and make sure it does not go red.

But it might also be shortage of the USB port. I once bought an USB based interface from M- audio and had that problem, even though it was more like drop-outs and noise artifacts in the recorded audio. Sometimes, but not so often, also in the monitor audio. My solution was to go back to the store and exchange the USB based device for a Cardbus interface so I could use my Multiface with that computer. I have recently bought yet another USB based audio interface that also has this USB protocol related problemes (but I'm happy anyway because it's a zoom H4 and I did not buy it for use as "a soundcard" but as a hand hold recorder for field recordings).
