That is random and not exactly repeatable on the same bars. This may be caused by your ASIO buffers. I get the same thing on my Roland Octa-Capture when my audio buffers are low. I use low buffers when I am recording but when playing back, especially when I have a number of tracks and/or lots of effects I have to increase those buffers. YMMV Principal: Your child always causes trouble in school. Me: My child causes trouble at home, do I ever call you? 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
