Thanks for responding! Looking through your questions it’s clear you’re responding to ErpCreature, I’ll post my responses here, but let me know if you think it’s a different issue and I should create a new thread
From my previous message: killed all other programs and kept a close eye on Activity Monitor
ErpCreature is using a UR824, I’m using a UR44
I increased my buffer size to 512 and it didn’t have any noticeable change, but then it doesn’t appear usage was the underlying problem
I am not a Cubase user, I don’t have the program installed, is there a way to do this without the program?
Power settings are disabled, my workflow requires the internet when I record, so I didn’t try that.
I did all my testing on Reaper, then Audacity, then Garageband.
No. But I did try the other USB port on my MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports) and noticed no difference.
