Nuendo 6.5. I’m recording one track on my Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB device. Most of the times everything goes OK, but sometimes I just get a freeze and then it unfreezes with this error: ```nohighlight Recording Error: Too many tracks recording ``` I’m recording only one channel. I have video in project too. In the device setup I have Focusrite USB 2.0 Audio Driver selected. When I try to select Focusrite USB ASIO, I get this error: ```nohighlight Cannot open Focusrite USB ASIO. (Error code: 0x54f) ``` Please help me make my recording sessions seamless. Best, Rok ---

No idea why you can’t select the ASIO driver, but you most definately need an ASIO driver. But even then … know that streaming audio through a USB 2 connection is like racing with a Zamboni. Fredo ---
