OK, that makes sense. The 32 bit program that I was picking up is in the RB folder and it is the 2020 v5 program...good catch guys! Still hangs up but I suppose its pulling 64 bit extras from the 2021 program also in the same folder so it won't work at all. So that makes a lot of sense and it's time to move on to the main problem...the 2021 v3 build and ASIO drivers.

I'm running it with Admin privileges. Still seeing high CPU usage on startup and when loading songs. Hold on a minute....

There's the problem!! The latest Windows update reduced performance levels down from my High Performance settings to the Balanced setting. Thanks MS, you got me again!!!

Seem to have the ASIO problem figured out this morning too. Since I'm running multiple "hard" synths, it seems to matter which MIDI driver are listed first, second, third etc on the input and output drivers setup of RB.

Never paid too much attention to the order that these drivers were listed but in my system in RB it seems to make a difference even though I'm running all MIDI Ins and Outs through a patch bay and not using any Thru's.

Live and learn huh?

Appreciate all the help guys!
