Playback static in logic pro 9.

I have playback static that is a 4 second long shhhhhhhhhhhhh sound and comes on about every 10 seconds. I have raised the buffer size, froze tracks, and even deleted some tracks to see if that would help. When i increased the buffer size, the CPU meter wasn't in the red anymore, but the static is still there. It wasn't there a few days ago when i recorded them, but yesterday it was there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a mid 2011 mac mini 2.3 Ghz i5, 16 GB DDR3 ram, 128 crucial ssd that only has 60 GB used.

Mac mini (Mid 2011), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), 2.3Ghz, i5, 16 GB DDR3 ram,

Yes, amplitude 3. I only have 3 tracks and they all have guitar fx from the plug in.

Hi

Does the "sshhhhh" go away if you bypass that plugin (or maybe remove it)?

Idk. I will try it when I get back home tonight. If it does go away, what do you suggest I do to get it working properly again?

The noise you describe is commonly used to "encourage" demo version users to buy the real thing. Perhaps there has been some error with the installation/authorisation of this plugin?

Bypass (or remove from your project) to see if the problem goes away, then you'll know where to check next.

Alternatively, check that all works OK in a fresh new test project:

Add some Appleloops..... OK?

Add the Amplitude plugin... OK?
