Hi,
No matter my buffer size (from 256 to 1024), no matter my number of tracks, my Cubase Elements 11 glitches while I playback or record.
I tried this so far:
Changing buffer size (less crackles at 1024 but stil happening and annoying as Hell to check out transitions)
Setting Cubase to Realtime priority
Removing processing midi tracks when there is no signal
Changing some Nvidia Parameters (why not try)
Disabling Intel Turbo Boost in the BIOS
I run on a very good computer : Intel i9 - 3.6 Ghz ; 32GB RAM ; brand new MSI Motherboard ; Nvidia RTX 3070
Interface ! Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3Rd Gen
I gotta be able to record at low latency without Cubase breaking LITTERALLY every 3 seconds
As @Dr.Strangelove suggests, I would try Latencymon. I had once a good computer (for the times) with nVidia card and Latencymon told me clearly the drivers of this card were causing trouble. Searching in the web later I found that was a common issue. If I had the card disabled the issues were gone. The computer that I have today (relative old, but powerful) has a nVidia card too, but this one works fine.
Another thing to check: Make sure your project folder is not in OneDrive. This happened to me in a new project last week and I was wondering what’s up with the crackle and pops. Then I took a look and saw that the project folder was in my Documents, but the documents folder was being sent over to OneDrive. Once I moved it over to another location, exempt from OneDrive, everything returned to normal.
