Audio Dropout

wath driver-mode are you using?

ASIO (Focusrite USB ASIO OUTPUT 1)
 
As I saw in another recent forum post, it started right after I downloaded the update. Restarting the studio engine is somewhat common, since it may stick sometimes, but I was fine all day while running IKA4 on multiple tracks. After updating, I cant play a dry DI guitar for more than 30 seconds.
 
I use a lot of amplitube 4 with guitar through a DI box, and addictive drums 2. Along with a lot of waves plugins. Thanks

I run a Focusrite Saffire Pro 56 and man does it have issues I am presuming due to the fire wire interface. I run a non-TI fire wire chipset card and regularly have enough issues with it all to consider changing interface as good as the Saffire is. This fire wire card worked flawlessly with the MOTU 8Pre however.
 
The previous 700R interface was ROCK SOLID in comparison....so yes, also seeing regular audio drop outs here too running a Saffire albeit fire wire interface. Buffer fiddling did make things usable but insane latency when recording with plug ins enabled such as amp sims etc. ASIO was the most usable with ASIO4ALL quite unusable. Never had issues like this before but otherwise, all is pretty solid.
 
Not sure if this helpful at all...cheers.

Mully, you're absolutely right.
 
Focusrite needs to update drivers for their discontinued Saffire (and similar) products. Last night, I switched to my Alesis Master Control interface (which I had only been using as a DAW controller) and VOILA! Cakewalk is stable as a solid 50-ton rock! I get that the series of products is discontinued, but considering how good they are, I would hope Focusrite would continue updating drivers at least until the next major revision of Windows. For now, my Pro 40 is turned off. :-(

I love my Saffire Pro 40 but, I have been having problems since at least May of 2017. It has gotten worse as time went on. I assumed it might be my firewire card so, I bought a new one (one of the main ones that Focusrite recommends) and, it didn't help at all. I borrowed a friend's USB interface and everything worked great with Cakewalk! (Interestingly, the Saffire has always worked fine with Studio One.)
I spoke with Focusrite and told them I believe a Windows 10 update broke the use of my Saffire Pro 40 with Cakewalk since they haven't updated the drivers since 2015. They told me that my device has been discontinued and there will be no updates for it. That's pretty crappy, as far as I'm concerned, considering there are so many Saffire products out there and, many people love them. However, whadda ya gonna do?? I really like the sound of my Focusrite and their price/feature/performance. So.... I just bought a Scarlett 18i20, USB interface. 

OK, here's where I'm at now.... I have eliminated firewire altogether. I bought a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 (USB). Well, guess what.... I still have the same problems. So basically, at this point I have bought a new computer and a new interface just to try to get Cakewalk working properly for me. I'm getting pretty skeptical that I am ever going to get that. I'm totally out of ideas at this point. And, once again, through all of this, Studio One works perfectly. As much as I hate the idea, it's looking like I may have to bite the bullet and make the switch to Studio One. I mean, I've really tried here but, it just doesn't seem to be working out. 

Need a big "Ok" button.. -Pre selected so one could just press enter every time. I'm getting tired of this.
