I'm recording at 96k, 24 bit. Even when playing back the track (not recording), the audio drops out sometimes (doesn't stop, but skips a bit). It's a brand new interface, the MOTU mk5 Ultralite.
I tried to change the buffer size to the max (21.3msec, 2048 samples) but it doesn't help. Also, I moved the song folder to the C drive since it's solid state and faster.
What else should I try to troubleshoot? I'm on Windows 10 OriginPC Laptop that's pretty fast. 6 cores at 4.54Ghz and 32MB RAM.
I also have an Audient ID44 interface but I stopped using it because it records pops and crackling artifacts every 10 seconds or so. It does not however have any issues playing back the same song. FYI, Audient support was extremely slow (3-4 days for each reply) and didn't offer anything that helped.
Both devices connect through USB-C cable to the Thunderbolt port.
Thanks,
