Same problem here
I'm having the same issue and I'm not sure if there's a setting I can choose in Reaper to help. I'm running windows 7 64bit machine also. All I use the machine for is Reaper. I have an amd fx8350 processor, 8gb kingston hyperx ram (ddr3 1600), asus board, nothing real fancy but should get the job done without having the issues I am. I don't ever really remember having this issue ( the lag and distortion & incapability to continue making music ) up until about 6 months ago. I typically use 8 to 10 tracks sometimes more. I have my computer set to optimal performance with performance power settings. I tend to use Guitar Rig 5, Peavey Revalver, Addictive Drums 2, NI reaktor & kontakt sometimes and a few other vst's some compressors when doing vocals and acoustic, 2 eq's and a limiter on the master. Nothing that I believe should be causing these sort of spikes. I have to wait for the CPU to relax, stop using whatever instrument ( either through my akai eie pro interface or my simmions midi drums ) and attempt to re-record. It gets real laggy and distorted. I typically try to just get it the best I can, render a wave and start a whole new recording. Which sucks to say the least because to mix that original track is a pain when having to go back to it. I'm not sure but I think it's either my lack of ram for how many plugins I'm using ( but even when this is happening I have around 3gb free ) or my power supply ( which is the bare minimum a 320 watt antec psu ) or my processor or finally ( hopefully ) some setting I can do in Reaper. Any help would be greatly appreciated and I hope it can help the OP as well. Thank you in advance for reading all of this. Cheers- Andrew
