Topic: RME fireface UCX and Cakewalk by Bandlab and ASIO driver

I am sorry for my English.

Hello, I have a RME fireface UCX and Cakewalk by Bandlab and a set ASIO driver - my audio is very choppy in the project, with Sonar (Cakewalk) it doesn't happen with the same song. If I give another WDM driver, Wasapi so it goes normally but it doesn't have the same options as ASIO.
  Isn't there a problem with ASIO at Bandwalk by Bandlab? It didn't happen before, until the last six months or so.

Thanks for the reply, and I'm a big fan of Cakewalk by Bandlab.

Regards Mirek

I have doubts that many RME use use Bandlab and that it is a RME driver issue, as product and drivers are very mature.
If you say yourself, that the issues were not there some months ago .. what changed with your PC ?
I would directly ask at Bandlab. Before I would check demo versions of other mainstream DAWs like Reaper and Cubase.
If ASIO works also there then its most likely a Bandlab issue.

Has your computer operating system recently updated? Are you using ultimate power scheme if windows?

Unfortunately Cakewalk-Bandlab works well in Windows 10 with the M-Audio card, so the problem is more likely to be Cakewalk working with RME

Does the 'M-Audio card' use USB? Does it have the same number of channels to be transmitted?

BandLab is a Windows only freeware and it's Buffersize is probably set too low by default.
BandLab-Menu Edit / Preferences / Audio / Sync and Caching / File System / Playback I/O Buffer Size (kB)
It may be 16, that is very low, try with 256.

I've used SONAR/Cakewalk with an RME UFX for forever, and have no issues at all. I'm sure this is a configuration issue. Here is how I have it set up.

I use Cakewalk (since 20 years) always with RME soundcards and everything works fine. Currently I use it with UFX, not UCX. Try increasing buffer size in ASIO RME panel to at least 256 samples

Sorry for my english.

Hello, i think the problem will be in cakewalk bandlab, because i still have sonar platinum cakewalk and sonar x64 installed, and there is no problem even if i use the same project on the same computer and with the same audiocard rme fireface umx, and nothing gets there. So i don't know what it is and i don't know what to do.

I installed clean windows 10 on another ssd disk and clean installation bandlab cakewalk and with the same rme fireface ucx audio card and the problem standed. So it is obvious that bandlab cakewalk and rme fireface ucx have been problemed. Written again that "sonar producer 8.5" and "64 sonar platinum" are on the same count and with the same audio card, this is not a problem.

When I work at Cakewalk Bandlab on a second computer with M-Audie Delta, it's all right.

Thank you for answer.

maybe the problem is in the configuration. Try resetting predefined settings in the configuration file window and do the soundcard profiling again. When my UCX II, dead at first power on :'( will return from repairing I will test it with Cakewalk and let you know

Hi 777mirek. Did you manage to solve the problem? I am experiencing the exact same problem with a Babyface and Ryzen too.
