hello, thank you for the response here is the info you have asked for:
first my model of focusrite is the Scarlet 2i2
i am using the WASAPI (shared) i have opened task manager and the only thing that is running is cakewalk and this website i am mentioning you on.
i used sound trap fl and ampify and they all work because i wanted to try to find the source of the issue. it didnt make sense why every daw was working fine.
after messing with it i have made it to the point where my voice crackles but it records every time, yes i am aware that this is buffer size and i experimented with 256 512 1024 and 2048. every one seems to make my voice crackle. is there something im missing?
i dont think it is my computer, fl works perfectly fine, cakewalk keeps messing up, and how do i find the operating system cause i copy and pasted the specs, so nothing was missed

so a few days ago the gain on everything I was recording got unexplainably high and sounded terrible, I found out it was my drivers and I installed new ones meant for my focusrite interface. ever since I kept getting CPU overloads I have tried everything and even uninstalled it twice and then reinstalled it. now when I hit record it either doesn't record until I hit the button three times or crashes. when I hit record and it ends up working my voice cuts out randomly and it sounds terrible, if I add a track for a pre made beat it all just crashes when I hit play. so an answer would be very great right now.
I have been trying to figure out how to fix it all day and I'm getting to the point where I feel like buying FL is a better option because everything seems to be running very smoothly on the free version of that.
