Pauses in cubase

[vignesh.vijay]

Hi ,

I am having pauses in cubase during play back . I tried increasing the buffer size as well but still facing the same problem .
I use focusrite 2i4 ..
I downloaded a driver which was Focusrite USC ASIO Audio

I have around 50 audio tracks in my session .

It's causing me a lot of hinderance during mixing .

Can someone help me to resolve this ?

Thanks

Were you running this exact same setup before without problems? Has something changed on your system recently?

Try a different USB port (Preferably USB2).

[vignesh.vijay]

I use USB 2 only ..
I updated the driver I guess ..
It's the latest driver from Focusrite I guess .
But it was working fine .
Not sure what the problem is .

Just for troubleshooting I would try(one thing at a time):

Have the Cubase performance meters on screen and maybe also task manager Performance tab to see if related to load peaks.

a) turn off asio guard
A special kind of processing ahead.
b) lower latency - do you need 1024 samples not to get crackles?
I have a vague memory reading about somebody having issues unless they lowered buffer settings.
c) Size of projects - same with any size project?
Are you using audio stretching to tempo or similar, try to freeze those tracks. Real heavy load.
d) any particular plugin that cause load - try freeze one or many synths
You mention audio tracks - but are there VST instruments as well, maybe.

Just some ideas....

No VST instruments .
No Audio streatching/tempo stretching used .

The track version says 03 on the track name .. does it mean there are 2 versions of the same track already ?
I don't see the them in the track version list on the left side .

how to remove these cracks , pops ?

Sometimes having a lot of fx processors can be detrimental. Try disabling them and see if that helps.
Sometimes, too many tracks playing at the same time can cause problems.
A butch cpu helps, too.

I have an i7 5th gen processor ,
512 GB SSD hard drive internal
32 GB ram .

Do I need even more ?

No your setup is fine. Make SURE you are using the ASIO driver. Also make sure you are using the correct drivers for your hardware version. The version 2 drivers DO NOT work with version 1 hardware and vice-versa.

Turn OFF ASIO guard. And lower your buffer size to 512.

And...upgrade to 9.5, it is better, ha.
