sooo..

1..please explain how your rig is grounded.
by any chance do you have different bits of gear plugged into various different outlets ?? the net has loads of info re grounding.

2..assuming the same interface is used for all your music apps...if your not using bb and say using logic or other mac studio daw apps...
does the 'buzz' go away ?? is it only with bb ??
also it might be useful to post a pic of your bb audio drivers set up.
bit depth/sampling rate etc etc.

happiness.

Thank you.

I'm only auditioning Styles in the Mac BIAB app, not recording. At it's most basic, it happens when I do the auditioning on my M1 laptop, running Mac OS Sonoma. It happens from the app, so if an interface is attached, it comes out of there too. But I don't need an interface attached to have it happen.

The buzz isn't continuous, it only occurs when I audition/load the problem Style into the mixer.
If I mute the 'buzzing' channel, the buzz goes away.

My hunch is something is not quite right (obviously(!)) with the Mac BIAB app or something in my system settings, or possibly my installation.
I'm re-installing next week.

The 'buzz' is the sound you get if you loop a tiny fraction of sound. It takes on the tone of fraction of sound. So it varies from style to style, and it only seems to be on styles that have loops, hence my loop hunch. If that makes sense?

As BIAB is entirely sampled at 44.1Khz, that's the sample rate I run at.

It's a puzzle!
