Hi Brian! Yes I compiled sse in (AMD 2500+) and it's not the crackles, it's like with special instruments the computation of the sound as is is not accurate. Do you know the Waldorf MicroWave II hardware synth? They have a method to make sounds dirty. It's like that(aliasing problem or so). Anyway I'll try again.
