Default FRUSTRATED …the soul crushing jerk of audio dropouts.

*sigh*

I acknowledge 2 things. ONE (1) Most OSX stuff is ProTools and Logic tested (ONLY).
Fine. Don't like it. ..aka HI REAPER.
Bought License. For years. (version 1.xx I think)
Thing TWO (2)... Apple hates DAWs ... Ok. GO IPAD. no! no.

gear:
T-bolt UAD Apollo Quad (v1) newest versions drivers $$ 8.51 55332
T-bolt UAD Octo etc etc
Mac BP 15" i7 16GB SSD 1GB Retina ... can't spend any more cash... all options checked...

Software:
Reaper newest 5.15 64
OSX... yes. Newest
UAD: Bestest.. 8.51 55332
Slate Digital -- whole turkey everything package. Brand new!
Waves .. a bunch of... Abbey Road. I like that. latest versions!
Isotope RX4 ... mostly noise reduction. (on guitars) old ;-(
Melodyne 2.2.12 Au. Sucks. but usually works. I am willing to admit my $in$ (sins). Will render if poked. :-(

I am working away on projects that are kinda 24 REAL tracks and usually 44.1k and somedays 48k.
24 bits. The project I see now is 46 tracks including groups etc etc
I would say they are modest. Reasonable. (less than 25% CPU!)

WHY THE PHUCK ( j.l. picard jpg here reddit users ) CAN THIS NOT PLAYBACK WITHOUT DROPOUTS!!!!! ?

less than 25% CPU. SSD. Cash everywhere $$. (UAD T BOLT$)

..
..
..

ok. PLEASE. I am begging. May I have a tool that tells me what is tipping this pile of ($$$) shit over?? I just want to render a wave file and go to bed.

I want to mix a song without the soul crushing jerk of audio dropouts.

Repeat :: TOOL please :: WHY AUDIO DROPOUTS????

ps. don't tell me how your combination of expensive shit works. i hate you. i don't have time. i need to mix.

MODS: sorry about cursing for effect. FRUSTRATED. Feel free to edit but please don't delete me.

so sad.

So you already opened the project with FX disabled and un-offline'd them one by one in order to see when exactly the problems occur?

There's some "candidates" in there that might prefer to be frozen first.

So yeah, alot of info, but sorry to say, most of it is useless for problem analysis.
You could have spared yourself some typing.

To start with:

- What OSX version number exactly ?
- Please make a screenshot of your audio device settings in Reaper preferences.
- 32bit or 64bit version of Reaper ?
- Do you have problems with ALL your Reaper projects or just one / a few ?

Synopsis - newest OS isn't always best. Good luck.
