Mal,

I might be wrong but it sounds like you might be using Sampletank or some soft synth that is resource hungry on one or more of the tracks. Try the following and see if it makes a difference...

1. Click on the Plugins button then select the option shown below.



2. Click on the individual "Bass", "Piano", "Drums", etc., buttons and make sure that each one is set to "none" from the dropdown menu. (This removes any soft synth set on an individual track.) Exit.



3. Now click on the Prefs button (or select "Opt | Preferences") and then select the "Midi driver" button. Set up numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 as shown in the below image.



4. It would also be a good idea to click on #6 above and set the audio driver to MME if it is set to ASIO.

Try this and see let us know what happens.

Regards,
Noel
