Ive got time from my many family commitments..sigh… today…so what the hey i’m gonna go out on a limb , and maybe i’ll get ‘egg on my face’..lol…but ive set up many recording rigs over the years also for friends.

You said you have an edirol audio interface…model no ?
Is it UE-1EX…like this one ?...

Or fancier ?

If the edirol works with bb, even tho’ you dont like it as you mentioned , then i feel the stuttering is down to choice of sound device.
As i said before i googled on your current sound device your using,..
And found stuttering reported by some. On one thread it mentioned it might be a bios issueif i remember.

Irrespective, i also looked up your processor , while not the fastest around it has a passmark of above 5000. Ive run bb on such.
(ps.. Preferably for daw work i recommend passmark of over 15000 and single thread of over 3000. cpubenchmark.net is very useful for checking various processors and eg stats on integer math and other processing stats. usefull if you choose a new pc.)

What i would do, as i said before is rent a behringer euphoria for a week...
Should cost hardly anything in your area from a reputable store, and see if stuttering disappears. If it DOES then you might considering using a different sound device than the one your useing.

There is a list of sound devices devices that work well with pg products in the realband forum, and if you need a multi client device see a thread i started in the tips n’ tricks area.

Hope you get it sorted mate.
