Eddie, rharv,

My studio computer is a brand new Dell XPS 8900, came with Windows 10 installed. Only modification: I had a solid state hard drive installed for the programs and kept the original drive in to use for file storage. I set it up in late 2016 and used it with 2016 PG Music software prior to the 2017 updates. I have been using 2017 Real Band daily, but didn't notice the audio record problem until a few days ago when I tried it for the first time.

A check on my system shows the following info:
System
Processor:Intel® Core™ i7-6700 CPU@ 3.40GHz 3.41 GHz
Installed Memory (RAM):16.0 GB
System Type:64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor
Windows edition
Windows 10 Home

It's possible that something in my system got corrupted along the way, but it seems strange that running Real Band 2016 off an external hard drive is AOK and test recordings into other programs works as well.

I'd be up for a Real Band uninstall and reinstall, but I'm not sure if it's wise to go down that road without clear instructions. I did a 2017 re-download, but that may not delete something corrupted; I don't know, what's your advice about that?

It's still looking like something amiss in Real Band 2017 since my downloaded version and my purchased hard drive are the only things crashing on audio record attempt. The hard drive version has only been used to test out this problem, so I don't see how it could have been corrupted.

I've looked into audio data rates (audio prefs) and it looks like they match. I tried various other rates with no fix.

I'm looking into a new interface, per your suggestion - I need to get some vocal recording sessions going ASAP. I like the Lexicon Omega partly because it fits into, you know, one of those sweet spots in my hardware stuff. And oh - because it works(?) so well for me. I'll replace it in a heartbeat if necessary. Shh, it's listening.
