Hope someone can share some advice , I’m running an i7 processor with 64gb of ram and an nvidia 3080i graphics card. In Cubase 14 if I have say 13-14 tracks and use say 6 plugins and 2 sends it will start either not playing like it will try and then just freeze up or it will start being glitchy and jumping. I have tried adjusting asio guard even turning it off , I have tried increasing the sample rate , I’ve tried the universal asio vs the Yamaha used with my ur242 , I’ve changed battery and performance settings …I’m not sure why it happens or what would be the solution at this point. Not sure if I should turn off the internal sound card in bios or something else but didn’t want to go there before asking here first.
Any advice would be appreciated , my PC is more than capable , I also edit 8k video footage in divinci and not one stutter for an example and way above the minimum specs to run cubase so not sure what is causing it to freeze completely and/or start glitching and jumping when playing back recorded audio or vocals etc. also to add I use no midi or virtual instruments etc simply a music track on track one like importing audio and an mp3 or wav file and then record vocals and start processing the vocals eq, de esser, compressors etc so I’m not putting an extreme load on I don’t think and once I get to say 13-14 tracks it does this everytime.
Again thanks for any help and I hope I have enough info to understand.
Which one ? Because the “i7” branded processors line started something like 15 years ago…
With the minimal stuff installed with its driver, I hope, because installing the full package seems to bring a lot of issues : there are countless posts, here, about them.
The problem is that it could be a lot of things, but I already see one, from your post : IMO, you indeed should deactivate in the BIOS your internal sound card, as you have an ASIO compliant interface already installed. Other things :
deactivate anything in it that could go in the way, such as WiFI, C-state, “sleep mode”, etc.
Give to your processor the full power needed. Again, no “sleep” state, no matter the stuff involved : CPU, USB, etc.
I would also test, during 20 minutes, my whole setup with LatencyMon : easy to install, and it would probably give me hints about what could be wrong with it. Let us know how things go…
Thanks for the reply , I was thinking that I’m bios but again wasn’t sure so waited. I have everything already off as far as sleep mode , usb power , never sleep etc and my processor is an I7-9700F @ 3.00ghz 8 core. While looking I did see my page file space is at 4gb but is recommended to be 9gb I’m not sure that would cause an issue but any suggestion on that?
Will run the latency test and let you know what came up.
OK, so it shouldn’t be an issue : there are several forumers that use older CPUs.
Without being sure, I don’t think that this could be an issue. On my end, I have a pagefile.sys file which is almost 5Gb, this, with ‘just’ 32 Gb of RAM. No issue, since 5 years I’ve been using my setup and I admit that I just discovered its size today, following your post. So, I would let it as it is, since you have already twice more memory installed than me.
And yes, post the LatencyMon results, if you have time…
