Hi Bernier,

When I get stuttering or static, I look at one of two things:

* Background applications. This could be anti-virus, utilities, instant messengers, etc. Try disabling or shutting down anything not needed for audio production. If you do disable your anti-virus, I suggest disconnecting from the internet for the duration.

* Audio Driver installation and selection. Make sure you have the most stable (not necessarily most recent) drivers installed for your sound card - whether it be onboard, PCI card, or external (USB/Firewire). Then you need to restore PowerTracks to factory settings so it can 'connect' to the drivers correctly. I'm not sure where that is in PT10, so maybe a call or live chat with a PG Music rep might be in order there.
