I always use the highest buffer size when I mix which is 2048 samples with I think 56 seconds output latency. I use this computer only for music recording.
Here are the full specs of my laptop. https://www.cnet.com/products/hp-elitebook-mobile-workstation-8730w-17-core-2-duo-t9550-vista-business-xp-pro-downgrade-2-gb-ram-250-gb-hdd-series/specs/
I don’t have installed an antivirus or unneeded software to run in background and I don’t connects this computer to the internet at all and I hope I did everything to faster it up. I’ve been trying to even format disk and reinstal Windows. It didn’t help.
The problem is, that I never have this problem before. It started few weeks ago, so I’m looking for the cause.
Could it be, that some parts just getting older and slowing down?
