I was just coming to the forum to start a new topic on the matter, and saw this one.
So - Macbook Early 2011, OSX 10.10.5, i5 2.3GHz, 8gig RAM, running the latest Reaper, Presonus FP10 firewire interface. Although, this happened in R4 too. As well, I don't have this experience with other DAWs.
To keep matters clear, before I press play, I can hear live audio routing through the inputs, and when I hit play, intermittently, the audio cuts out. Faders still show processing, but I need to change the audio device from the FP10 to something else (internal), then back to the FP10 to restore audio.
I've experimented with disk buffers, and latency, and several other settings and I cannot eliminate the problem, and I can't predict when it will happen.
It seems that normally, there's a process when hitting play where Reaper will quickly drop audio momentarily, then restore - all within a second or less. That seems to be normal operations.
The question I have is: what is happening in Reaper when hitting play? What's that transition from idle to playback that is taking place? Are there any adjustments for that moment in time when randomly, something goes screwy and audio does not return?
