Recording suddenly pausing and unable to hear anything.

[Jenna]

When I click record on vocals, it starts but then after a few seconds it suddenly starts skipping and nothing gets recorded. 

I'm unable to hear any MIDI audio either.

I am using scarlett solo 3rd gen and my mic is shure sm58. I've included my settings

Other people know much more about this than I do, but a quick search tells me FL Studio uses ASIO4ALL, a driver known to cause issues with Cakewalk. Try removing or disabling ASIO4ALL. Also your Sync and Caching screen shows a Record Latency Adjustment value for FL Studio. The device selected there should be the Focusrite.

Finally, you might experiment with the buffer size settings. Sometimes a value more in the mid-range works better. But try to take care of the other issues first. Hope this helps.

try turning on "enable MMCSS for ASIO driver "

3rd screenshot down ?

See if that makes a difference.

Try setting Disk I/O buffers back to default (256kB I  believe) or even down to 128. I've never had to go over 256 even when using an  HDD for audio instead of SSD.

Definitely start with this. The latency adjustment being to a different ASIO "device" is worrisome. If you have lost all audio output and the meters are moving, another thing to check is that the Master Output is assigned to the Focusrite... you can click-drag the bar at the bottom of the left pane of the Track View (or hit that button that looks like an eject button on a DVD player) to expand that section and check where your busses (specifically the Master Output) are assigned.

This is just a spurious display iaaue.

The other thing to check is the USB port you have your audio interface plugged into, and also the cable.

If the USB port is sharing resources with other devices (e.g. HDD controller, WiFi adapter etc), those other resources could be stealing CPU time when they become busy.  Try switching USB ports and see if it makes a difference - also, never use a USB hub for your audio interface.

Poor quality or damaged USB cables can also cause interruptions.  If possible, try another cable.
