I think my machine is plenty powerful enough for what I am doing.

I have drums (all separate tracks) and I have bass one track and various guitar test tracks that I am comparing. I can't imagine I need more than that for a buffer. I had it set to 48k and 512 buffer and the 1024. I have my Fractal Audio Axefx2 drive loaded so I can update the firmware and edit the sounds but it's not selected in the Reaper. This is Core i7 from 2012 and the machine is clean, no antivirus apps or anything else for that matter. SSD drive is boot drive and I have a hybrid 1T drive as my data drive for recording. IBM Thinkpad Win7 8G RAM but had work crap on it, this is why I bought another laptopĭell Precision m4600 8G of RAM and I hope to go to 32G at some point. My original gear was Focusrite 24 DSP firewire Two different computers I have tried and now this is my second interface. Hewlett-Packard with AMD Athlon(tm) II X3 445 Processor 3.10 GHz Hopefully it'll be okay and I can proceed to fix up the buffering, I guess I would need some pointers on how to do that. I'll definitely try a fresh reinstall.but I have recently been having very bad lockups while trying to access the preferences in Reaper with my ASIO plugged in.to the point where I need to do a hard boot. I don't doubt that it would solve the issue, it makes sense.I just really wouldn't know what to tweek and by how much. I have not tried adjusting the buffering, mainly because I have no idea how. It wouldn't hurt to post your computer info, operating system, and so on for more specific advice. A fresh re-install/restart with no other programs open might not hurt if you can't get it to work.

1) Do you have any other audio-capable programs open while Reaper is running? Music player, internet browser, midi player, Audacity, etc.? Reaper and ASIO sometimes don't play together well if there's other things going on.Ģ) Have you tried adjusting the buffer on your ASIO? You might have to find a sweet spot for your hardware and Reaper to work together too.
