I´m having constantly Audio dropouts

[schnibbelkram 0]

Hey,

when i work on "bigger" projects with like 35+ tracks,fx and all, i'm constantly having audio dropouts and an overall unstable performance with cakewalk. I have a 3.40 GHz quadcore processor and 16GB RAM, Windows 10. My PC is 11 years old. When i look at the performance of my pc while working with cakewalk, the cpu is at around 60% and the ram is around 35%. I have a Steinberg UR22 interface . Any ideas?

What is your buffer setting?  As projects grow so does the need to increase your buffer

It was 512 samples, i turned it to 1024 now. I have to give it a try.

Changing driver buffer size may make a difference.

Look up the dropout code for resolution suggestions.

I even changed it to 2048. It is better, but the problem is still there.

Dropout code most of the time says "1"

"Audio processing took longer than the buffers allotted time slice.

Increase the Buffer Size value in Edit > Preferences > Audio - Driver Settings."
