Wow, I really appreciate the insight re: soundcard. I didn't even consider that my soundcard could be the problem. I was using a USB multieffects pedal that works as an interface, a USB mic, and a USB midi controller. I thought that I was completely set with lowest possible latency, highest possible...

Are you using Core Audio (WaveRT)? You can try choosing the "Use Exclusive Mode" option.

What is your playback device in Sound Device preferences? Are you using Mixcraft version 8.1 build 408? Are you running 32- or 64-bit Mixcraft?

I can't get clean playback, no matter the length of the track, number of layers, etc. I have searched the forums and have tried what few suggestions there have been: I have fiddled with recording preferences, I run it in exclusive mode, disabled all anti-virus software on my PC. I ...

I have found that the lowest I can get input latency under WaveRT is 3ms, which is unfortunately too noticeable to allow for playback + input synchronization. With ASIO it sounds much closer to instantaneous. Is this an unfortunate trade off or are there some options I could tweak to lower my latenc...

I was able to record a couple tracks for one project. However, suddenly I have a problem where the sound becomes distorted and choppy during both playback and recording. If I restart the program, this problem is fixed, but if I adjust any settings on my tracks, the problem returns. It doesn't matter...

How can I adjust the playback rate of the entire project? I understand how to adjust playback rate of individual clips but I want the entire project's playback rate to be adjusted. Specifically I want to slow it down so I can adjust the rhythm of certain sounds with greater precision. Reaper has thi...
