the<strong> track you&rsquo;re recording the guitar on is armed for recording <\/strong>and that the <strong>input is set to the correct input<\/strong> on your audio interface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, check that the <strong>input level for the guitar isn&rsquo;t set too low <\/strong>and that <strong>monitoring is turned on <\/strong>for the track. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, you should check that the <strong>output routing for the track is set correctly<\/strong> and that your <strong>speakers or headphones are connected<\/strong> and all working as they should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If

If you use your computer&rsquo;s stock audio driver, you will likely experience latency (delayed Audio). Either install ASIO 4ALL (free) to fix this issue or use an external audio interface.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1627850604377\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Why do you hear crackling or glitches while playing guitar?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>This could be a latency issue. If you are running a live set with tons of tracks, you might be overcooking your CPU, making recording difficult. Otherwise, use a third-party audio driver like <strong>ASIO 4ALL<\/strong> or an external interface.
