Odd one here, possibly a very simple solution (I hope).

I've created a performance patch, which involves sampling and looping etc. however, several of the arrays (used for the looping) have started to crackle when ever anything in their subpatch is touched (!?). Nothing changed except that I saved the patch...

Weirdly though it's not all arrays, it's only these certain four, the rest are just carrying on like normal...

Please help! I have to perform with this patch in a couple of weeks!

Hi Tim,

There are plenty of people here who would be willing to try to reproduce your problem. But it will involve you sharing your patch.

Based on your symptoms, it sounds like a possible latency issue. If your latency in audio settings is set too low and PD gets busy doing other things, like disk operations, popping and cracking can occur. So, I would suggest trying a much higher latency setting to see if that smooths things out. And if so, work back down from there.

It would probably we worthwhile monitoring your cpu usage while your troubleshooting this issue as well.

if you have graphical array in your sub patch, that can halt the sound temporarily as it needs to be redrawn whenever you access the page. instead you should replace those graphical arrays with
