Problem 10: I hear crackles, clicks, or pops when playing or recording audio.

Make sure that Session’s Master Volume control does not indicate clipping. This control indicates clipping by drawing two red dots at the far right edge of the volume meter. If you see clipping, move the Master Volume control slider to the left. If you hear crackles, clicks, pops, or other artifacts while recording or input monitoring through a track, lower your microphone or guitar signal until the track stops clipping. Crackles, clicks, pops, or other artifacts also occur when your computer cannot keep up with the current task. To solve this problem in Session, click Options > Audio Hardware > ASIO Settings > Latency, and drag the slider upwards. Repeat this process if this problem continues.

Problem 11: The KeyStudio does not trigger sounds in Session.

Go To Options > MIDI Hardware and make sure “USB Audio Device” or “USB O2 In” is selected in the Input Port box. Also make sure a track for keyboard playback and recording is selected.

Problem 12: Synth Patches and MultiFX Presets do not load.

It is likely that you moved the Factory and/or User Content Folders. If you moved the Factory Content Folder, you can point Session to it by choosing Locate Factory Content Folder from the Options Menu. If you moved the User Content Folder, you can point Session to it by choosing Set User Content Folder from the Options Menu.

Problem 13: After adding more sample content, the new content does not display in the Track Browsers.

When manually adding new content to Session (copying new files into Session’s Content Folders), you must re-scan the Content Library by choosing Re-Scan Content Categories from the Category Manager.

Problem 14: The Composition sounds distorted.

If your Composition sounds distorted, you may need to lower the overall volume of the Composition by adjusting the Master Volume control, located at the top right of the Session window. If the level is loud enough to cause distortion, you will see two red dots at the far right end of the Master Volume control.

Problem 15: The Session software operates very slowly, and is very system-resource intensive.

This problem may be solved by downloading and installing a more current driver from your specific graphics card manufacturer’s website.
