Anyone else getting audio dropouts after the latest update? Even on a new project, it drops every 30 seconds. Or any other reasons? Thanks.

Sonar Cakewalk
Focusrite 2i2

I'm also using the Focusrite 2i2 (see my signature for config) and I just played back a project with about 12 VST instruments and had no dropouts. 

Knowing a little about your setup may help.

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

Did you ever resolve this issue? I'm having the same problem. Running a Focusrite Sapphire Pro 40.

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.

I have had this issue since the latest update.  Focusrite 2i4.  Hoping the update to the update that I'm downloading now is a fix for it.

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 suspect this is an issue with the 2nd gen scarlett drivers. 
 
I've used CbB 2018.07 on 3 machines with a 2i2, 6i6 and 18i20 (all 1st gen interfaces) pretty heavily over the past month, and it's been rock solid for me on all machines at the lowest latency (1ms). It's a bit early to tell with CbB 2018.08 build 32, but so far it's not given me any issues.
 
The first thing I'd try, is re-installing the Focusrite drivers.
 
This may fix it, or you never know, this could be another Windows 1803 issue that's come to the surface with some minor Windows update.
 
If the problem still persists, try contacting Focusrite. They've released beta drivers for specific issues in the past, so you may get some joy out of them.

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.
