Checks suggested by u-he (Michael) nice and clear:
- DIVA, Set Multi core to ON... OK
- DIVA, Reduce number of voices... OK
- Cubase, use proper ASIO Driver... Driver from spL for Crimson audio interface (see below)
- Cubase, Reduce sample rate, e.g. 44.1... OK
- Cubase, Increase buffer size, e.g. 512... OK (see below)
Downloaded new ASIO driver from spL (Crimson) (Nov 2014, version 2.9.76).
Much better... got rid of DIVA cracking (great!)... concerned still about ASIO peaking/overload which is happening at certain points in fairly simple cubase project (not necessarily when DIVA playing)... ASIO/spL Crimson + cubase 7.5 combination?

sorry for delay in responding Howard, Michael didn't mention accuracy setting, but you are right... accuracy mode clearly explained in manual; 'divine eats up cpu'. So accuracy should also be listed too. I do think though, that when people upgrade to the most up to date / hi spec PC (as i did just two years ago), there is an expectation that things will run easily and smoothly playing 'divine' diva in all its glory, especially on simple to medium complexity projects. Installing an updated asio driver for the audio seems to have been the primary fix for me. But I'm learning that there could be more to it, in a combination of cubase, spL and VSTs like Diva... unfortunately im no techie so these forum discussions really do help in combination with great support from u-he. Thanks all.
