I usually write in chunks. I'll get an idea down with drums, bass, guitar and keys in Cubase, record it and move on to a totally different idea. When I revisit this idea I'll add another part/section. This means I'll need to record drums (elec kit), but I prefer my drums to be a bit louder when I'm recording to get a better feel. I will already have my drums sitting in the mix evenly with everything else I've already recorded, but this isn't how I like it when I record again to add another part because the drums need to be louder for me. I tried using the Control Room, but when I turn up my cue on whatever drum channel to make it louder when I record, it turns up the previous drum mix and it's way too loud. I hope I'm making sense. Maybe there's no real solution. Sorry if this totally confusing.

I've had this problem for ages now and I'm extremely annoyed by it

I'm trying to record on Cubase 12 but it keeps dropping out in seconds and giving me "Audio Dropout Detected"

I've downloaded latencymon and nvlddmkm.sys and ndis.sys seem to have the Highest Execustion (ms) respectively having ~0.88ms and ~0.63ms after letting latencymon run for 10 mins-ish

Wdf01000.sys was actually on ~1.35ms until I did a bunch of random fixes i found online and that went down to 0.18

Highest ISR and DPC counts are Wdf01000.sys and HDAudBus.sys

My audio interface is plugged in directly into my pc not through a usb hub
I've disabled the setting where USB hubs can be turned off to save power
I've set the power settings on the NVidia control panel to prefer maximum performance
I've updated my bios to the latest one already
I lowered my mouse's polling rate to 500 from 1000
I've tried almost every fix I've found on the internet

I'm so lost

Hi all. I’ve been using a Tascam US2000 in my home studio along with Cubase for 14 years (started with LE4 and most recently upgraded to Elements 12). It’s had its ups and downs certainly but it’s been an easy and sturdy interface for what I’m doing.

Lately I’ve had audio dropouts like crazy. Like every 1-2 seconds. It’s not every time, and it’s not all the time. But when it happens it’s for long enough that the time I set aside to record is entirely wasted. It’s either the interface or the computer (HP Elitebook 9th gen) because I can see that the LED for the USB connection is wavering.

There’s nothing new about my setup at all.
Same laptop since 2022
Same hard drive since 2020
Same version of cubase since 2023
And I’ve had the Tascam since 2012

I have done what I can to make it better—highest latency settings, frozen/disabled VSTs, changed USB power settings on the computer itself, restarted devices, updated drivers (since support ended it’s not technically compatible with windows11 anyway I think but it’s never been a problem yet)—mostly simple stuff. My Achilles heel is troubleshooting tech problems.

Which is why I’m here—does anyone else use a Tascam US2000 still or any other legacy Tascam hardware? Am I missing something or is this the lifespan of the device? (There’s a pretty steep drop off around 2021 when it comes to finding troubleshooting posts.) 14 years does seem like a good run for a piece of equipment I bought for $499, but I hate to give it up if it still works!

FL crashed on me last night. It’s ridiculous enough that I see it as “part of using the software”. It seems to happen every update they come with.

But yesterday was next level. I was not able to open the back up any longer. So beat seems to be gone.

I am considering other programs. I only make beats.

Reason seems really interesting to me. Cubase too.

I work mostly in the box. Have Arturia V collection and Korg 6 and a midi keyboard.

There are many things I love about FL but especially the piano roll is just so freakin handy.

Is it really that much better than the Cubase piano roll? Asking this hoping people that made the move can answer.

Hi, maybe I can get some tips here. So I'm planning on playing live but my setup doesn't seem to work at all on my Laptop. Maybe someone here has resolved similar issues or an idea.

So I want to use backing tracks for Drums, bass and some synth + some synth vsts being played live with midi Controller + Vocals being processed live in cubase and guitar amp sim. This works fine on my PC but on my laptop Cubase struggles to even play one without stability issues or crazy latency.

Only tried it with vocals + guitar so far and it was not working at all.

Am I expecting too much from Cubase or my Laptop? Any ideas how to make it possible?

I have been thinking about doing it all without laptop processing but this would be some investment + work to make the patches and less convienent to transport everything.

We are thinking to upgrade to the newest Cubase from version 10.5.2 and since our computer is not the newest, I am wondering how much more computer power the new one needs compared to the newest version? Does anyone know? RAM and disk space are no problems.

Long story short, I don't like working to a click, but this project is going to be big enough, I think I need to for this one. I've already got 2:38 into the track and want to go halftime with the drums, but the current drums are falling on some stupid beat like 122.1.4.56.

Is there a way, without impacting anything prior in the song, to manipulate the bars/beats to make that section end on a whole number, like 122 or 123? That way, I can put the click on from there, more easily drag and drop drum midi and repeat sections, without doing so much manually work.

Any way to make that happen or do I need to start over if I want any chance of it all lining up?
