This week's contestant is: Error loading ASIO preload buffers What the heck does that mean and how do I fix it? Thanks for your help.

In my experience, all hardware that you are using in your music system needs to be fully up and running before you open BIAB or RB. If you start external synths, audio interfaces or other processors after you start BIAB or RB you'll likely get errors in RB or BIAB.

Nothing else is running. Everything is working off the Focusrite. The Focusrite is the first thing that is set up, etc. I don’t know what’s wrong here.

That's probably my #1 thought - the other being that perhaps the Focusrite driver was set to too small of a buffer size. If you go to Options > Preferences > Audio, then click the Audio Drivers button below where it says ASIO followed by ASIO Driver's Control Panel, the Focusrite ASIO settings should pop up. There should be an option for Buffer size - try increasing it.
