Crackling sound being heard from recording.
So basically, I recently bought an M-Audio fast track (audio interface with phantom power) with an M-Audio Luna mic. Everytime I try record something with garageband it works completely fine for a minute or so but then after a while, it starts making crackling noise when i speak into it and eventually that turns into an echo with the horrible crackling sound. it can't be the mic because when i try it without software and listen directly from the audio interface console, i can hear myself completely fine. Please don't tell me its a grounding problem because it's definitely not and i have the equipment atleast 2-3 feet away, also this isn't white noise. Also, I try using the 'noise gate' option on garageband but i still get the crackling noise. The setting are already set for Fast Track as Output and Input so that can't be the problem. I'm not sure what the probem is. the USB port is a little old but I barely ever used it, kept it for 1-2 years wrapped up in a bag and the XLR cable for the mic is new. can someone help me out here. 😟 I just hope no one tells me its the mic and fast track interface because they were kinda expensive when i bought them.
