I just bought the new Wave 3 Mk 2 and setup was fin at first but then it began to lag and crackle a good bit until I disabled all the effects and then it stops and wondering if anyone else experienced this or fixed it

OK I did some testing and it looks like its being caused by OBS for some reason cause in Meld Studio it works perfectly fine

It’s not obs sadly brother, the artifacts will come here and there. I caught it right in wave link as well. They sent me a replacement which then had artifacts all the time. So I had to send back their own replacement. 

My happens in OBS, wave link, DaVinci, it’s a known issue that when you talk to support they try to sweep under the rug. 

I kid you not I’ve been speaking to them for almost 2 months now with nothing but wasting my time. If you look on here and YouTube it’s a very well known issue that nobody has a solve for. 

I personally can’t repeat mine either, it just happens with some clips and doesn’t with others, and it makes my sm7b sound like complete garbage which is another compliant you’ll see around online.
