Audio Glitches
Audible pops and clicks and other audio glitches may occur when another program or device is trying
to stream audio or video, or if your computer cannot provide enough system resources (RAM memory,
or hard disk or computer processor speed) for POD Farm™ 2. There can be many different causes for
this type of problem, since there are so many possible computer models, parts, and congurations. Be
sure to check the additional POD Farm 2 computer optimization and recording documentation on the
POD Farm Online Help page of the Line 6 web site. The following tips may also help to resolve audio
