Guerilla Genus 30 Posted February 25 Recently I noticed that changing or increasing the ASIO buffer size, will cause a DAW to crash (doesn't matter which DAW, I have experienced this behavior with Cakewalk, FL Studio, Cubase, and Reaper) I often have to Power the PC down and do a hard Windows restart to restore the normal ASIO driver function) would this be a Windows problem, or a USB Audio Driver issue ??

Alan Tubbs 60 Posted February 26 Usually that means not enough cpu to run the programs at that low rate. Either a slow computer or badly written drivers for the interface. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InstrEd 3,828 Posted February 26 Upping the ASIO interface to what buffer setting? When I upped mine quite a few years ago to 2048 buffer setting I had some problems too. When I froze some tracks and put the buffer to 1024 I was okay. So sometimes having a big ASIO buffer can cause issues to IMHO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I usually start a Project with a buffer of 128, from there i will gradually increase up to 1024. I am noticing more frequent crashes after selecting the new buffer size and closing the preferences dialog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guerilla Genus 30 Posted February 27 (edited) 💡 always save your project before changing the buffer size 🙄 Edited February 27 by Guerilla Genus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
