I didn't have these drop outs before...now it just seems to get worse every day.
First they it happened what seems randomly. Then it started happening everytime i played a new track when i already recorded 1 or 2 tracks and now i can't record ONE track anymore without the audio engine quitting on me.
I tried the obvious things already but nothing seems to work.
And you also can't tell me my computer doesn't have enough resources.
Any suggestions? I don't know what to do anymore. I can't record even 20 seconds of music...

Since the Octa Capture is a USB device, you will likely need to spend some time analyzing your USB bus and USB devices to see if there are interactions that are causing your dropouts. You should alsp use a DPC latency checker to see if there are a lot of spikes occurring on your system.
 
If you are not getting any DPC latency spikes, then sometimes simply moving devices to different USB ports can help. See what devices are on the same bus with the Octa Capture and move those first.

Dan gave you real good advice.
 
If that doesn't get any results, call support.

Try disabling your network.
 
(Don't do this if you're using Waves plugins, though)

Hey, thanks!
 
I will try a different usb port but i never changed it in the first place so i don't really see how that suddenly could become a problem.
And other than a keyboard i don't use any usb hardware.
 
Bitflipper, i have no network enabled. This is a studio computer only.

How full is your SSD?

1/3 or so.

OK, then that's not the problem. What do you record? Audio, MIDI? What softsynths and FX? Have you tried eliminating a plugin or a soft synth as the cause?

Audio, midi...i have tried all kinds of combinations and leaving out plugins and fx's etc. It doesn't matter. As soon as i start recording (just a guitar for example) the audio engine stops working.
Haven't checked the latency software yet. The usb thing doesn't seem to solve the problem.

I was able to record many tracks with many plugins and fx's before. My system can easily handle it.
