This is a report quite new for us and I can tell you that the developers are already investigating.
You don’t have any CPU or RAM spikes, do you? The cracks sound as if you were having them, but it makes no sense with so little plugins.
Does it produce the crackes as well without inputing audio? Try to use a generator plugin or a sample on the Audio File plugin
I have a source audio Soleman with expression pedal i that send midi to the MOD DWARF and I wonder if the problem isn’t caused by the midi message when I map one or few parameters of the dwarf with this expression pedal. I will spend more time on it to find the potential cause.
Hi! Same here - I get random crackling with very basic guitar setup ala TS + cab (I noticed some random CPU spikes). Also crackling occures when I turn “the knobs” inside browser (is it like midi send/recieve?). I tried add the limiter at the end - it makes no difference.
To me this sounds like it’s probably ground noise in your setup.
What do you hear without usb connected? (assuming you are accessing the device over usb network)
I’m getting a loud earth buzz on my Dwarf with the Dwarf having no connection at all between input and output on the pedal board, nothing connected to input, just my amplifier connected to output. Nothing else connected, I’ve detached the PC and the USB connection I had. The only wires going into the Dwarf are the power supply and the cable to the amp. I’ve used a couple of cables to connect to the amp, no difference. I have tried using the same and different power sockets, I’ve used the earth lift on the amp (although that only affects the effect channel, the Dwarf in pre input). If I use the balanced input on the Dwarf the noise is still there, but slightly quieter. The amplifier is a MarkBass CMD 121P which is humless with any other effects or multipedals, sound cards, mp3 players attached!
I’ve just put a hum destroyer in line and that has killed the hum - as it would! I have some fairly serious guitar/bass cables, but I think a balanced cable needs to be 3 way, so not a 1/4 inch socket - not sure but that is what I thought.
Have your tried the balanced cable from the Dwarf to the amp? Also, a DI may help you out too. If you can test it it would be great to let us know the results
They seem relatively cheap to buy, so my plan was to try one when my Dwarf arrives as it sounds like the hum might be due to the balanced out / unbalanced in miss-match.
