Whenever I am running a project, the bars all the way to the left of the trasnport bars constantly go up and turn red, my audio constantly crackles, distorts and stutters and my product (Cubase 6 full edition) is pretty much unsuable because of this problem.
I really need to solve this problem, I am running a computer with a intel i5 3570k quad core procesor 3.4ghz, 16gb of corsair vengeance ram 1600mhz, amd radeon hd 7870 2gb, and a seagate 1tb hdd
I am using a focusrite saffire pro 24 dsp audio interface connected to my computer via firewire, the buffersize is on 512 but the problem still persists even when increasing it, if you need any more information please request it in your reply! I will give any information needed to solve this problem
It does! Bottomline, I asked for his or her setup and detailed description about what has been done to solve the problem.
And I was glad I could make my 200th post in order to get “member” written under my avatar!!
Now I have one more to go
You need to tell us how everything’s connected, what exact specs of the ports and whether you’ve updated all drivers etc… Otherwise we’ll play guessing games.
This is not a Cubase problem. You have the right and hopefully latest driver and asio, so there is a good chance that it is a hardware problem.
Check your HDD with chkdsk. Maybe some bad sectors need repairing
Check everything you have connected to your DAW, do it by starting with a minimum of components, hubs etc and then connect everything one by one until you find the brat.
Yes. It seems many posts were lost last night. I was a “Grand Senior Member” 20 hours ago!
Anyway, back to the topic… Also, make sure your wireless card (if you have one) is disabled. They can be real CPU hogs.
J.L.
It may well be your networkcard indeed, especialy when you disable the connection in Windows only. Leave it on or disable the card itself in hardware profiles.
