Some Reaper OS X problems
Hi all.
I am experiencing some problems that are quite frankly making Reaper unusable and I'm hoping some of you guys might be able to help me out.
I have a iMac 21,5" I bought in january, with a quite old Focusrite Saffire audio interface, with newest drivers. Reaper is version 4.151.
So my first problem is audio dropouts.
Almost everytime when I render a track, my audio goes totally silent. Meters still flash as if sounds were working, but nothing comes out. It does not only mute Reaper, but all audio. Sometimes it helps to open Finder, sometimes the sounds pop back randomly. Sometimes it helps to unselect Saffire, then select it again.
This does not however happen (as often) if I have "Request block size" unticked in Audio -> Device.
Second problem is with MIDI.
If I have a MIDI item playing VSTi on a track, I can't play the VSTi on top of it.
It does take MIDI notes in if I press record, but I can't hear the notes.
This could be a brainfart on my part, but I've tried pretty much every setting in Reaper's preferences.
I also get quite a lot of stuck notes, especially when looping, but sometimes with MIDI items too.
It's starting to look like I have to get Logic or perhaps a PC...
