Re: Repeater clicking sound

["Tom Dauria" <tcdauria@earthlink.net>]

Yea, that clock jitter is a major pain in the ass.... it seems like it
should be able to stay steady, it's just a MIDI click, basically.... oh
well.... it basically renders my time-syncing stuff unusable as well, at
least if I give a crap at all about the quality.  That ticking sound is
pretty LAME too.  Are you using a Simpletech CFC?  It doesn't do it when I
playback off of internal mem.
