For optimum enjoyment
While using Cubase LE 5, other applications may slow down drastically
or a message such as “Cannot synchronize with USB audio interface”
may appear. If this happens frequently, consider taking the following
steps to optimize the operation conditions for Cubase LE 5.
1) Shut down other applications besides Cubase LE 5.
In particular, check for resident software and other utilities.
2) Reduce plug-ins (effects, instruments) used
by Cubase LE 5.
When there is a high number of plug-ins, the computer's processing
power may not be able to keep up. Reducing the number of tracks for
simultaneous playback can also be helpful.
3) Power the R24 from an AC adapter.
When a device designed to use USB power is powered via the USB
port, the current supply may sometimes fluctuate, leading to problems.
See if using an AC adapter improves operation.
Please set latency from the device menu when the sound
cutting occurs. Refer: Install Guide-step5 about details.
If applications still run very slowly or the computer itself does
not function properly, disconnect the R24 from the computer
and shut down Cubase LE 5. Then reconnect the USB cable
and start Cubase LE 5 again.
