Recording Stops Randomly

[arkufahl]

I purchased Fender Studio Pro 8 not too long ago and have been running it on a laptop that is about 8 years old with no issues. I just purchased a new laptop, installed Fender Studio Pro (same version), and when I record it'll record for a few seconds then stop. If I'm really "lucky" it will record maybe a minute of audio and then stop recording (but keep playing). I've gone through every setting I could think of, I've put my laptop in airplane mode, turned off virus scanner, etc... I watch the CPU and hard drive activity and everything looks great. I've gone into Task Manager and set the application process to "high priority". I've tried different buffer sizes, sample rates, and dropout protection, but the result is the same.

I haven't seen any other posts about this issue, so I'm pretty convinced it's a problem with my system... I just don't know which part of it is the problem.

I feel like this new laptop should blow-away my previous laptop, but the opposite is true. It's hard to believe that recording software doesn't present an error message or write something to a log file when the recording is ended without user-intervention. Without it telling me why it stopped recording, I have no idea why it stopped, which makes it nearly impossible to troubleshoot. Has anybody else run into this? Does anybody have any suggestions regarding what else I could look at or test? My system info is below. Thank you.

Had this too. Here it often tends to ignore the loop from time to time after enough cycles. Doing an inplace upgrade right now whith some hope to get 8.1 running.

I noticed my old laptop was running 8.0.3 and my new laptop was at 8.1. I uninstalled 8.1 on the new laptop and put on 8.0.3 but had the same thing occur with recordings stopping for no reason. It's gotta be something with my new laptop but I'm running out of ideas. Tempted to get a different audio interface but I'm tired of investing money in things that shouldn't be an issue. Plus, I don't have issue with my audio interface on my old laptop, so... but, could be an issue with driver conflicts maybe?

I don't know. But if its running good in one version of FSP but not in the other the issue should be more within in the DAW i think. But i have no clue.

Hiya,
Just a quick question, what Audio card and Audio driver are you using ?

Kindest regards

Have a search for "Acer bloatware". Your laptop may have some stuff you want to get rid of.
