Gotcha ! Dan...your comments bring back memories from the past when the keyboard player would sometimes swear at the keyboard...lol
over some issue or other or some setting regarding transmitting or receiving midi. so they would sometimes get another seperate hardware midi module for receiving midi and making sounds and useing the kbd just for midi transmission.

another question have pg said that 2025 works for them with no stutter ?
if so this would point again at the pc being used.
or a config issue imho.

@LB...another test you can run is to invoke RB (realband) that you
have and do two things that will offer further clues...

1..in the RB menus run ACTION>>TEST AUDIO PERFORMANCE...
such will reply with a track count.
as a benchmark here my recently new pc rb reports over 200 tracks.
please reply with the number of tracks reported as well as how long the
test took. as a benchmark here the test was literally 'two blinks of an eye'.
(ry 7 cpu and m.2 ssd.) its just a rough test...but gives clues.

2..run rb the same as your doing with bb and try recording midi.
report back if you get 'stutters'. you will need to check in rb that the drivers preferences are set up correctly.
in summary this offers further clues.
maybe ill get egg on my face but im gonna stick my kneck out and suggest
the stutters are caused by either other tasks on the pc or how the pc is set up or the fact that the processor has low performance specs.
(see my link previously to cpu benchmark site for a detailed analysis of your i7's performance.)

3..as i said see if you get the stutters with non pg apps.
eg reaper is a fast download. (note bb does things it doesnt).


@Audiotrack.

good points...the more we know about LB's task manager the better.
im very interested to see what latency monitor utility says.
maybe ill be proved wrong but i suspect that latmon will report some
dpc/driver issues. we shall see.

@LB...the more info you can give us ie latency mon test, task mgr
report, potential rb track counts etc etc..the better we can advise you.
otherwise in some respects we are flying blind.

happiness to all.
