Hardware: what sound card and what driver mode are you using?

hesitation and pausing are often a result of mixed tracks.... audio and midi in a project with a sub par driver mode and factory sound card.

I have pretty bad latency, another symptom of the driver/hardware combo, on my lap top when I run the factory card but only with mixed tracks & midi, like I first mentioned. Straight audio does fine.

You can also adjust your audio buffers to allow it to have more "look ahead" time. Often that can resolve choppy audio.
