Really great info man, I'll look into it! FWIW I will say that I can run this interface at 64 samples in Live 12 and Cubase 13. Same sample rate, same plugins. Reason just feels extra twitchy to me (i.e. if I alt-tab or open something from the task bar it crackles/breaks up; I don't get this in other DAWs).Theo.M wrote: ↑09 Apr 2024Ok I think we should take this to hardware.
Reason runs at a live buffer at all times, I would be using the Focusrite USB at no lower than 128 personally for a good balance.
latencymon is easy, it will tell you if it fails, and if it does, then you can take a screenshot for me., I think move it to hardware so we aren't scolded for going too OT or PM is ok too! Cheers
PS if it fails first thing I'd do is run on the UHD gpu in the 11700 and disable the nvidia. Also go into your bios, once you have told me the motherboard I can see if there's any advanced extra tweaks for it, but disable C states and intel speedstep, so your cpu is always at a constant high frequency. These steps usually totally solve DPC latency and did on my laptop and completely transformed it. Don't have to worry about any of that on Mac thankfully. I bought this laptop to game, nothing more, then it has sort of become a testing bed now that I am making music again after 5 long years without.
PPS if you are using your Focusrite for windows audio also like youtube etc, make sure the sample rate set in Windows audio preferences matches the sample rate in your DAW or it will pop and click.
I'll look into all this after work! Thank you again!
