Alright. this may have been covered and has actually happened to a friend of mine whom I was helping set up reason via phone but I never nailed it.

I have rebooted my pc and now When I play for example the redrum the bass drum has a high 'pop' sound to it..no low end at all. same with all of the sounds and samples on reason, including drum kits.

I'm sure there is an easy fix but I am stumped at the moment.

Does anyone have a fix to it?

check your buffer size in preferences - may be too small

yeah, stuff like that is usually the buffer.

go into edit>preferences>audio and there will be a slider there i think, ht ehigher you bring it up, the better buffered it is, but there will be a bigger delay with your midi devices, so the best thing to do is find the setting on the slider where it just stops crackling, usually around 10-30 ms of delay.
