  1. Well I closed this window for a few weeks and accepted my defeat. Been using Reaper in the meantime. Today I tried Cakewalk again because I just can't leave it alone. I saw there was a new update, downloaded it, and looked at the release notes... Either coincidental timing or one of the developers saw this thread because the new "Enable MCSS for ASIO Driver" option in the update has made Cakewalk usable again. My performance window activity is very low and balanced now and I've had no significant "pops" during recording or playback. Fingers crossed it lasts this time 🤞. Thanks again for all the suggestions and willingness to help!
  2. I would assume so too, it's such a mystery. Yes, the drivers are for onboard audio. And yes, it's a Nvidia card. I just disabled both High Definition Audio Controllers, restarted PC, and no change...
  3. UPDATE: Problem is back with full force. I've tried all of Promidi's suggestions and no luck. I even tried a safe boot so no background programs ran at the same time as Cakewalk and that did not help at all. So... I decided to download Reaper and see how another DAW worked with my new build. Works perfect, no problems at all. Guess I'm just going to have to leave Cakewalk for something else.
  4. EDIT: Crap, it still glitches when I'm trying to record, but playback is smooth. I'll try more of these suggestions. These are all great options, thank you. I tried re-installing all the motherboard drivers and it turns out MSI put out a new one 14 days ago for "noisy" USB audio. Seems to have fixed the glitching for now... and my Performance Module looks much happier, showing 0 "Late Buffers" when it was showing anywhere from 2 to 6 during playback.
  5. Plugin Load Balancing makes the glitching much worse, for some reason. It happens on projects where I have just audio tracks as well as ones with VST/audio combos. The glitching is very heavy when trying to rehearse in-ear, so much so that I have to turn the buffer size way down and just deal with annoying latency the whole practice. Last CPU was an Intel Gen 3 i7 I will check for hyperthreading in BIOS, thanks.
  6. Buffer is set to 9.4 msec, 416 samples. When I click on ASIO Panel button it shows Internal clock and 416 with an * next to it. I've tested 256 and 512 and still get problems. Also, yes the glitches occur just as frequent with effects bypassed.
  7. I have a brand new build, i7-12700K with 64GB of ram. My audio interface is a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 2nd Gen, it worked just fine with my last PC. With 4 or more tracks playing back, I get pretty severe stuttering during playback... usually for a minute or so, no matter where I start from. Also, the Performance Module just shows the last 4 bars (all the way to the right) bouncing up and down and peaking every time it stutters. Zero to no activity on the left side of the module like I'm used to seeing on my last PC. If I turn Multiprocessing Engine "OFF" it seems to fix the stuttering but I'm still only getting 4 bars of activity on the right side of the Performance Module and I'm assuming once I get a lot more tracks into the mix with plugins I will need to engage Multiprocessing again. I'm also struggling to keep the latency at bay when recording... seems like every time I record I need to re-adjust the buffer settings that worked in my last session. I've checked the ASIO settings, double checked that my Interface settings are at 44.1 as well as Cakewalk, I've re-installed Cakewalk as well as Focusrite Control... now I'm stuck. Thanks for any ideas or tips in advance.
