Adjust buffer settings to avoid pops/clicks?

Sorry about the duplication (posted on eMagic as well) but I need some help...

I'm running a PC based MOTU 828 w/ Logic Plat software and I keep getting pops and clicks during playback and bounce-down. I have heard adjusting the buffer settings may stop this. What do I set them to? This is driving me nuts... :(

Thanks for the help.

Manley Reference clicks

During a vocal recording today, I noticed the occasional click on the recording (similar to that created when a digital system can't quite cope or it's clocks are out of sync) about once every minute or so. After checking all of the clocks etc. I realised that it was coming from pre-ADC source (I saw one spike on the pre-amp during a take). The mic is a Manley valve Reference.

Would a top notch comp/preamp 'cause clicks...

I've noticed that with vocal recordings (voicovers) done w. a Neumann (any TLM) and say an AMEK preamp and a D3 or dbx (simply put; top of the line preamps and compressors) spittle-sounds or abrupt transients will cause extra click-type sounds or small distortions. This shouldn't happen right ?
Or is this...natural vintage behaviour ?

Declicker, fix for PT 5 mix (mac)

If you have given up using the Steinberg DeClicker plugin I have finally found the fix!

1.) close PT. then remove the DeClicker plugin located in the systems folder in DAE folder and put it into the plugins(unused) for now

2.) boot up PT to set a new cache

3.) close PT

4.) put the DeClicker plugin back into the DAE plugin folder
