However, I noticed the little padlock bottom right, I clicked on that and restarted it, this time it opened in Silicon mode.
However, the problem still persists.
So, it has to be something to do with recording directly to the SSD. The drive I use is a Samsung T7. I’ve tried increasing the buffer size in steps until the latency became too bad to record with any accuracy.
Logic is fine, no issues recording directly to the SSD. Cubase, it always seems to insert this silence around the 62 second mark.
Thanks for all your help Martin, hopefully I’ll stumble on a fix soon
Do you have a chance to make a temporary partition in the external drive and format it with the native macOS format, please? Try to record to this new partition. Does the issue occur?
I’m just wondering, if it’s the external drive issue in general (some data transfer issue?) or if it’s related to the format you have chosen.
I’m a bit reluctant to mess with this drive as it has all my Superior Drummer /EZ drummer libraries on it which took quite a while to download and install those
I’ve also transferred a load of old projects to it from my PC.
I’ll order a new drive as I could do with a back-up. When that arrives I’ll format it as APFS and give that a go.
So yeah, it looks like using ExFAT is the cause of the issue. I just got a 2nd drive and formatted it using Mac OS Extended (Journaled)… it didn’t give me an option in disk utility to use APFS.
However I’ve just done a quick test using the same project saved to the new drive and this time no audio drop outs
So it looks like I’ve now got plenty of storage space to play with (4TB in total) I’ll look into moving all the stuff off the ExFAT drive and formatting that one to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) too, but for the time being I’m a happy Cubase user again!
Many thanks for your time and Support Martin, it’s been very much appreciated !
I’ve had this exact same issue ever since taking the Sonoma upgrade. Was about to throw the machine off a tall building (or at least give up on Cubase altogether) till I stumbled on this thread. Thanks guys!
After Sonoma Im having the exact same issue and yess the external ssd is exfat. Will try to fix it via formatting to macosx journaled… Also Im haveing another problem with my videos on quicktime … But the problem persist bot in External ssd and internal ssd
Have this same issue. Need interoperability of projects on a hard drive to use on both Mac and Windows. Used exFAT formatted SSD for over a year without this issue. After MacOS updates on M2 Mac Studio, with insane amount of resources available for audio production, getting dropouts as discussed in this thread. This is is a major pain.
