Hi

I have noticed for some time now that some of the kits i use suffer from a kind of distortion/loud crackle when using them.

I use the Roland Td50x and a Macbook Pro. 8gb

95% of the kits work great, but the odd ones i LOVE such as Djent kit and the Amber kits from Legacy of Rock series are unusable because of the distortion and crackling.

Anyone got any ideas on how to stop this noise and use them as they were intended?

Thanks

M.

Check out the memory footprint of the kit and compare it to the free memory on your machine. The crackling could be computer artifacts from SD3 needing more memory than is available (I have experienced this before). I say that because I use the amber kit and it tops out at 10GB for my config, and you indicate that your system has 8 GB RAM. You might consider 16-bit samples or the non-cached mode for the kits that need >6-7 GB (or whatever is free before you start the SD3 application).
