I would just say that it's well past time to bite the bullet and get with the times. That might sound harsh, but insisting on continuing to use ancient, obsolete, no-longer-supported software is just asking for trouble. Eventually, you end up having to run 23-year-old software on a 23-year-old operating system which will only run on 23-year-old hardware and once that hardware starts breaking down try finding replacements! Now what?

I'm sorry you already spent your money, but what you need is a real audio interface. Those USB mixers are fine for recording a stereo mix down of your band, but they just don't cut it for a multitrack recording.

I don't either, but so many people do. Even worse is that people will listen through one half of a set of crappy earbuds.

Or you can get a proper audio interface that has a proper ASIO driver and fix 99% of your audio issues all at once.

With no information about your system or it's settings, everyone is left guessing.

I'm on it through Firefox right now.

I love the way the "industry standard" hypes "new" features that other DAWs have had for years....

Netscape for all intents and purposes is now Firefox . AOL is still around.

Get a real audio interface with a real ASIO driver. ASIO4ALL is not a proper ASIO driver.

Reboot.

There's nothing to fix. That is a design feature.

Hardly. The fact that others don't have your issue is evidence that the problem is somewhere in your configuration.

I don't have that issue. How often do you save?

Minimum specs get you minimal performance.

And I'm sure that is in the documentation....

Go back and reread David's post on "interoperability." You also keep mentioning your high-speed, low-drag gaming computer. Gaming is an entirely different set of requirements than audio production. Also, a stab in the dark here. I switched from Open Office to Libre Office. For a time, I had both installed and it took an inordinate amount of time to open a document in Libre Office. A simple one page text document. Until I finally uninstalled Open Office. Now they load instantly.

That's why I ask the question " Can you even hear that?" Because I bet you can't. It takes longer for the sound to get from your guitar amp speakers to your ears. People waste enormous amounts of time fussing over "problems" that didn't even exist before DAWs allowed them to listen with their eyes instead of their ears.

Really? At less than half a millisecond?

21 samples? Can you even hear that?

Just edit the title.

And here the crash dump is even telling us which one specifically.

Well the answer seems pretty obvious to me...

Hard to believe that the crappy Sound Blaster soundfonts were brought to you by the same people responsible for those fabulous E-MU synths like the Emulator and the Proteus modules.
