increase sample buffer size until it stopsFlames Dean wrote:I don't know about you lot but CPU overruns are a pain in the arse and the biggest inhibitor to me doing what i want to do in my DAW.
As much as I'd like to use all the fanciest ish (DAWs, VSTs) I am normally pretty poor and my pc aint great (although its dedicated to music now).
I would say look at your biggest limiting factor - for me its my skills and my pc - and pick a DAW which will work WITH those limitations.
I used a few too and everything mans is saying here is bang on - its an old cliche but you can use any program if you learn it and get used to it (for me this normally takes the same time - "bedding in" - with new DAWs anyway).
Your chops and mix make 1,000,000,000 times more difference to your final sound than your kit - truss!
i seriously mix on an integrated laptop soundcard in FL with 1 stereo out and have absolutely 0 complaints... deep into a sesh when i start getting overruns i just up the sample buffer size
take that, clickheads
