Consistent Audio Engine Dropout after Importing Track

[chamlin]

No VSTs, no effects, nuthin'! New project with 6 audio tracks. Every time I import a file the blue circle of hell does its thing and cycles for a long time. Sometimes doesn't stop. Eventually up pops the Audio Engine Dropout (12).  Other times, the file is imported but I can't save the project without triggering the next round of blue circle joy.

Seeking a solution for this issue with Code:  12
Reason for dropout: [Internal] Internal audio buffer memory limit overflow.
Potential preventative action:  Contact support with recipe/project file.

1.  Been running Latency Monitor for 30 minutes, no issues.
2.  Focusrite 18i8 1st Gen. Latest driver.
3.  This is a new system with 64 GB RAM.

In another thread someone suggested deleting the aud.ini file. Tried it, no change.

A few others said they had audio engine problems after they updated the latest Focusrite drivers. Hmm...perhaps I can try going back to the older driver.
