fiddler.
excellent point. rme is great product.
sometimes its all about interface and drivers etc etc.
i personally use steinberg ur22 for the reaper/biab
combo , no problems.
your also correct about laptops/usb.
sometimes i advise musos with big libs/samples etc
to get a rrefurb i7 desktop for example.
sling in 3 ssd's.
1. one ssd for win.
and the music /recording prog exe'ss.
2. one ssd for biab realtraks/samples etc.
(win drive has core biab progm).
3.one ssd for the big sample libs from
whoever the 3rd party sample progm is.
(win drive has sample progm exe.)
divide and conquer etc.
otoh if that dont work.
keep the 3 ssd's and try installing the base progms
ie sample lib exe and biab exe on seperate drive from win.
thus leaving win to operate by itself.
old school lol.
i know its a lot of trouble , but the only way is to test
many approches and see what works best.
think of the poor developers of music software.
not easy for them also.
they are on a hiding to nothing because there are so many
different user set ups.
so they cant keep everyone happy as they are locked into
the current pc technology platform.
