I bought my Presonus set up in September this year and it has worked fine...up until recently. There would be the odd recording that sound like static. Now I can't record when the pre-amp is on and the mic is plugged whilst the backing track is playing, as there are intermittent but consistent cracking noises that actually effect the recoding. I use Garageband and I even tested it through Studio One and the problem was still there, so it's not the software. I think it's the AudioBox USB interface. This is impeding my creativity and I don't know what to do!! Someone help!

exit out of your DAW and make sure the mic is off (red light off) , then turn mic back on (red light on) then re-open your DAW. if this doesn't work try restarting your computer using the same steps mic on before opening your DAW... hope this works

It could be any number of things. Have you optimized your pc for audio production?
Have you disabled wi-fi? Are you plugged into a USB2 or USB3 port? Did you install the drivers
from the included disc? Or did you download and use the drivers from this site? That being said
we cannot help you without a bit more info......if you will post your system specs (see my sig), we
will be better able to trouble shoot your problems. Without knowing what type of pc you're running,
what OS you're using, what DAW etc....we can't recommend a "simple fix"

If you have not already done so please READ THE MANUAL, register your Audiobox and open a
tech support ticket. They'll get you sorted.
