Hi folks
with version 10 cubase elements, I had pretty flawless performance. Very odd glitch here and there but nothing that stopped me from producing music. I decided to pay the £17 to upgrade from Elements 10 to 10.5.
After the upgrade I loaded up one of my songs and the audio performance was shocking. It kept stuttering, like you were listening to a radio station whereby you keep losing signal as you drove through the countryside.
After a little investigation, I noted that my scarlett focusrite 18i8 required an updated driver, so proceeded to get that done, but still same stuttery audio performance prevailed.
I then went into studio settings. My ASIO settings in VST Audio System, (ASIO- Guard level) was set at normal, so decided to change that to ‘High’.
I then replayed my song and it was processed perfectly. I changed the ASIO setting back to ‘normal’, replayed my song and I was able to replicate the same stutter. I then reset the ASIO - Guard level again to ‘High’ and voila, it worked perfectly again.
If you get an audio stutter after upgrading from cubase version 10 to 10.5, check your ASIO Guard-level settings and change the setting to high. Hope it works for you.
