@Steven-Wood Ok, it would be good to know if you can get Samplitude to crash with WDM or MME drivers. Maybe also try another ASIO driver. For example, if you install the free demo version of FL Studio it also installs the FL Studio ASIO driver. In

RE: MM2026 34.0.0.6 VST instruments causing severe audio problems

A couple of points to add... The CPU and graphics card both seem to be about 10 years old. I'm not saying that's the root of the problem, but it probably isn't helping. VSTs generally take a lot of processing and Music Maker hasn't ever really been

RE: [Solved] Samplitude keeps crashing with ASIO4All

@psychojosh13 Do you use the newest version of ASIO4ALL? You can reset the program settings of Samplitude via its Help menu. If I remember it correctly the menu entry is called "restore default behavior". Be aware, in case you have custom shortcuts

Un par de cosas que añadir... Tanto la CPU como la tarjeta gráfica parecen tener unos 10 años. No digo que esa sea la raíz del problema, pero probablemente no ayude. Los VST suelen requerir mucho procesamiento y Music Maker nunca ha sido realmente

RE: Magix music maker on linux mint

So far so good, thanks! And yes, it is the most recent version of ASIO4All on their website. I also noticed that I was still getting a small latency issue while recording MIDI, and that it seemed to be caused by a specific effect plugin on the track

That's right, I should have typed that it was in the Audio/Midi tab in the program settings. Nonetheless - as before after selecting the ASIO driver and Music Maker Asio it defaults to 'none'.
