This topic concerns a Windows 11 laptop running an Intel 1335U processor with 2 Performance cores and 8 efficiency cores.
I am doing more recording with the UR22C now. I find that a VST (StevenSlate Drums in Ableton) sounds just fine by itself. But when I record audio and a MIDI drum track simultaneously, the audio is subject to severe distortion and tempo reduction. I previously tuned the computer significantly and even turned off all the E-Cores and disabled hyperthreading on this 13th Gen Intel chip. It’s pretty smooth with just MIDI, I want to make this thing perfect.
The question I have is: Is the Steinberg v2.1.7 driver able to be increased in priority using Task Manager? I see some drivers as WUDF drivers that actually can be changed as to priority in Task Manager. So, if this is possible, I’d like to do that with the Steinberg driver and squeeze every possible increase in quality out of it.
When I’m recording, I’m monitoring the CPU and it’s not even close to maximum, so there’s definitely an inefficiency occurring that I want to nail down.
If anyone in the Steinberg team wants my help to test a new driver, I’d probably be willing to try it out under a few circumstances and give feedback.
Any other suggestions will be appreciated and I’ll give them a try.
Thanks much.
