Stuttering.....

[Rusty K]

Ok...

I've been in another forum getting tuned up on tweaking XP for optimum audio performance but this stuttering is looking more like a software problem.

I can't keep the mixer open during playback because of severe stuttering. I also noticed that my CPU usage drops about 10% whenever I close it. Is that normal?

Also anytime I'm using realtime processing/mixing/moving windows the stuttering is severe. I used to be able to do this without serious interuptions.

What could be causing this?

I was able to record a good track of bass today with no problem.


I've tried different buffer settings but to no avail.

AND I'M REALLY ANNOYED THAT I HAVE TO GO TO PREFERENCES AND UNCHECK "KEEP DEVICES OPEN" EVERY TIME I HAVE TO USE MY WAV EDITOR!

There I feel better.

If it makes you feel any better, I don't mix with the mixer anymore...I just use the individual track faders in the normal track view. The mixer has always been a hog...I think Flavio said he fixed the high CPU usage problem with the mixer a couple revisions ago, but it still sucks.

You could try adjusting the rate of the VU meters, and turn off shaded VU meters.
