Absolutely, as I am now hearing.  A synth sound that used to be OK now
has crackling noises here and there.  It even has pitch alterations.The
synth does not like it at all.  I would have to put it back to 1024 for
synth use. Then 256 for acoustic guitar recording. Closing all apps and
rebooting in between...

I really have to understand how this works.  So, thanks again for the
information and the links.  Much appreciated.  Thanks to others who
have also replied.

I will try it tomorrow. I'm curious about this.

Cheers.
