The guy who wrote Sound Studio (Lucius Kwok) should be shot! I had the same problems as you (artefacts, dropouts, and static) when using Sound Studio in OS X over a year ago. He kept promising the next version would have the bugs fixed, until, after a couple revisions, i realised he was full of BS and had no clue why this was happening. I got my money back from him (ok.. at least he didn't take my shareware fee and run) and haven't touched his app for a year.
I guess he still hasn't figured it out, but REFUSES TO ADMIT IT OR LIST IT AS A KNOWN BUG!
I lost a couple valuable live recordings, and a bunch of credibility last year when i had to go to two people after their recitals and say "Sorry.. that recording you paid me to make? I ****ed it up." All thanks to Sound Studio.
(ps. my hardware was a Pismo and an iMic, though SoundStudio screwed up the files regardless of th input method).
BTW - SoundStudio seems to work OK in OS 9, and with short audiofiles, so some people have not run into these bugs, i guess. INCLUDING THE AUTHOR!
Well, today, for the first time since three or four months, I got the courage together to try recording again (what with the two or three system updates, the audio update, and Sound Studio update -to 2.1- ). I am pleased to say that I managed a thirty minute recording without a single one of those annoying clicks. Hooray!
The only issue is a bit of noise on the background, but that might be my radio. In any case, it does not bother me at all, as it is, at least, a 'natural' artifact.

Talk about a follow-up.
Since this thread started Audiocorder for OS X has had several updates. I have used it to record several hours at a time off the radio without problem (that I know of). It seems reliable.
There was an issue about recording at 20kHz with OS X. Perhaps that has been fixed by now.
