I’ve been tracking some Arturia software synths and getting some ASIO overloads/spikes - which normally never happens - even on the 32 sample buffer I use. Overall average/maximum load was low, less than 25%. These were just spikes.
Was every 30 seconds or so - and fairly random. Only happened with record monitor ON - was fairly sure it was the Arturia synths (VST3 versions) but couldn’t track it down 100%. Just for fun I switched ON the ‘suspend VST3 processing’. Total ASIO load dropped a few percent but ALL the spikes disappeared. Been running for about an hour without any spikes at all.
Just looping back on this - I left ‘suspend VST3 processing’ ON for the rest of the session.
Not a single ASIO spike all day - switching it off spikes returned. I’m now ignoring official advice and leaving it switched on permanently. Hopefully this might help somebody
I’m even going to go as far as marking it ‘solved’
