Sometimes it records, sometimes it's mush

[vonSeydlitz]

I am a long time user of MC6 and just upgraded to MC9.

I use the Presonus 2-Channel Audiobox USB for my input. I have been successful recording with a microphone and electric guitar on MC9.

I'm on Windows 10. No issues with CPU Mixcraft or System percent levels going high. CPU sticks at around 1%, System is averaging 5% when recording.

When recording, some of my tracks playback as mush. They record but it's garbage. I cannot figure out why. It happens about 25% of each take!

I have noticed that when the yellow marker that indicates where I am in the song ADVANCES ahead of the track, then that track is mush. It's toast.

I don't know why this marker would advance itself like that. Again, this happens about 25% of the time I record. Other recordings sound great.

Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Just checking in to see if someone has some advice on my MC9 recording issue. It must be something with the setup, or a Preferences setting. I cannot figure it out.

Sometimes it records great, other times that Yellow marker bar advances ahead of where I am on the recording track, and then my take is garbage. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you.

@vonSeydlitz
What are your sound device settings?
I would suggest as a test, trying a different buffer setting, despite what the cpu meter is saying.

Hi,

Make sure you've got the latest driver for your Audiobox, and choose ASIO mode in Mixcraft's Sound Device preferences.

Thank you all. ASIO has been working so far....
