I use a Focusrite for recording but not for playback and editing. That's the way I have been doing it for a while and it hasn't been a problem until recently. That's why I thought my hard drive might be getting ready to die.

Should I be using the Focusrite for playback and editing?

As far as WiFi, I used to turn it off when using RB but it never made a difference. I have never turned it off before when using Reaper and it was never a problem.

I will get back with you on the rest. I am have almost finished my project, and when I do, I can start on administrative issues and a better setup for the future.

Thanks to all.
