I had a few issues yesterday in RB it could not see my ASIO driver, but After bouncing a few ideas around with Kent a second reinstall of the Presonus driver solved the issue nicely. RB is a bit shakier than my other DAW softwares, still i find it to be solid enough for most projects, especially live performance stuff.

If i were going to push it real hard and do original recordings with 30 - 40 tracks, separate drum, guitar, vocal busses and such i would track in Studio one. It has a far richer tool set, and better Plugins. I personally prefer native plugs, as you just never have issues with them. One of the reasons i bought Studio one, the other being i liked the demo that came with my interface (presonus 1818VSL, is that it has a very large stable of native plugs. Most of these rival anything you can buy third party.

If you are getting that kind of instability there is something in conflict internally one of the plugs, or another software title.

Try this Mal, set RB to use MME drivers and see it is get more stable, i find it runs the best on MME. While i have it working on my laptop on ASIO sometimes it runs a lot higher CPU on ASIO, so if playing a set of music I will use MME for lower CPU levels which adds to stability.
