This process of evaluation is so critical to growth as an audio engineer. My wife is always hearing what ever projects I’m working as I tend to use her for feedback on mixes a lot.ĭon’t fool yourself into thinking you will somehow improve without it. And if you ask her, she’ll attest to the fact that I’m always saying that the most current project I’m working is “my best work yet.” This should be the case! It may not always be, but really if you are completing projects and setting them aside, whether it is your own music or a client’s record, you have something to compare it to. You can look at your history of work and see how you have improved and what specifically has gotten better. This acts as a barometer for your ever improving skill as a producer. Whatever you do, don’t be “normal.” Normal home studio people buy a bunch of stuff, read a lot of other people’s opinions on forums (or blogs like this one), play around in their DAWs, are either overly confident in their skill or never feel like their stuff will get any good, and then they plateau. They never go anywhere from there! I don’t want that to be you. I want you to give every project all that you have, finish it, and then move on. The next time you produce music, look back at your most recent work and try to improve from where you left off. This, my friends, is the key to becoming a better engineer.Hoping someone can help me out here.

Just built a PC to upgrade my home setup and move to Windows 10. Whenever I try to play a 44.1kHz mp3 it switches to 96kHz sample rate. It plays the music weirdly but with a crackle. It also does this with YouTube or any other sound source for that matter. Sometimes it boots to 96kHz, and whenever the sample rate is 96kHz there's a 'pulsed' crackle. If I stop the audio source I can change the sample rate, but then no applications recognize the existence of the Saffires.

I'm running a Pro40 and a Pro24 through a Firewire card in my PC. I'm using Win10 version 1903, although the issue shows with 1809 also, with Mix Control 3.7. I've blocked all Windows updates and I'm using the legacy firewire driver.
