Latency monitor also pointed at some network drivers causing interrupts, so disabling wifi would be a good thing to try. In the mean-time, though, I'm hoping somebody has some wisdom to share. I'm reinstalling windows 7 on my old laptop to do a 'control' test. I'm inclined to think its a software issue, rather than an issue with my interface. Has anybody encountered similar issues? Any 'magic' settings under the hood in Reaper that might let it use my CPU more effectively? I've already killed all non-essential background processes and nixed any system sounds. I've heard of problems with Windows 10 not playing well with certain ASIO drivers.

I'd suspect CPU limitations, but I haven't seen it spike above 40%. Running at 512 samples causes such-severe stuttering that it's unusable. It gets worse when I zoom/scroll through the project. I'm mixing tracks recorded at 24bit/96khz, and even with a 2048-sample buffer, what's coming out of my interface is just. A little slow to render, and it ramped up the CPU usage when I used more than a few plugins, but it sounded OK.ĭespite the significantly faster computer, the new setup is plagued by audio artifacts (clicks, pops, and stuttering audio). Both running the latest drivers and firmware.

I've been running 64-bit Reaper on both systems. The new computer is a lenovo laptop with a 6th-gen i5, 16gb ram, and an SSD running windows 10 pro. laptop with a 1st-gen i5, 8gb ram, and a spinning-disk hdd running windows 7 pro. I've done some googling, but I can't find anything helpful, so I'm wondering if anybody can provide a little insight. After making some upgrades to my modest home setup, I'm noticing seriously degraded performance.
