So I just put a new SSD in my laptop and installed Studio One 4 (haven't used since Studio One 2. something) but I cannot get the lag to stop, and this is just with an WAV instrumental... No other tracks, recordings, or even FX. No matter my block size, buffer, etc it doesn't change whatsoever. I haven't bought a product key yet as it's the Prime version and I wanted to check before I bought, and my old software had no issues. To test if it was a software issue, I installed the demo for Reaper which I've used in the past and as soon as I connected my interface I was able to record no lag. It's not my laptop and it's not my interface. Is this just a Studio One 4 problem or am I missing something? I've used this setup in the past on older Studio One software. Is there any help I can get?
Edit: I also checked my performance meter in the bottom left of the DAW and it's using little to no CPU power.. Also, if I change the tempo in the DAW I can manage to get it right. So, does this DAW only operate at the BPM of the track? I do hip-hop and 140 had the beat playback normal. It wasn't choppy or no latency on the instrumental itself. I've yet to record a vocal track to see how it responds so I guess I'll update when I do so.
Guess I'm gonna get no help? Do fellow musicians not care that someone is having problems with their products. Talk about customer service or helping a fellow human... Guess I won't be getting the product key, I'm not gonna waste money I can't get back on a broken software.
