Default Reaper on a go slow if left standing for a few minutes.

Hello folks,

I've got a strange thing happening with Reaper. If I render a track and then leave Reaper open while I upload the track or apply it to a video, when I go back to Reaper it won't work.If I click "play", the time counter counts very slowly and the cursor moves really slowly, also, no sound comes out.

I've made no changes to my computer recently.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Phil

Try closing any other applications accessing your sound device first.

Thanks I'll try that next time. Strange how I've never had it before though.

Cheers

System/driver updates can change your OS sound config back to defaults. If you're on Windows that can happen in the background and since ASIO channels can only be used by one app in Windows, switching to another app that needs it and then going back to Reaper without closing it causes it to become unavailable to Reaper. I'm guessing that's the problem.

Ahhh, I realise what I might be doing. I've just had a high spec Scan Audio computer, 32gb ram, 6core i7 etc and I might be subconsciously just leaving things open, like Reaper, Guitar Pro etc thinking in the back of my head that the system can cope.

Cheers
