Thanks again to everyone - I truly appreciate you all taking the time to respond with suggestions. So maybe I can get away with just using a different Organ vst. Currently, it looks like the main vsts I use (Tapeworm for Mellotron, Minimougue for Moog, and Organized Trio for the Hammond) are all potential system crashers, although only the Organized trio showed up in my Event viewer under the error log. So - I am on the market for some new vsts to use. that worked in terms of Reaper not crashing, but did not get rid of the stuttering. In case anyone else comes across this problem, one of the suggestions was to run the vsts in a 'dedicated' mode. So - I have upgraded my system to a much faster, smoother running computer, but some of the older vsts will cause the system to crash. I was told by one of the moderators of the Reaper forums that some of the older vsts do not work well with the dual processors and windows 7 setups. It appears that it is due to the plug-ins I was using (specifically Organized Trio vst - vst for Hammond Organ I am using). Have you tried ASIO4ALL?Thanks for all your responses, I really appreciate the help. I am using a Lexicon Alpha with native ASIO drivers as an audio interface. M-Audio Fast Track Pro (updated with most recent driver available from avid site)Īre you using any plugins when the crash occurs? I have been using Reaper on Win7 for a few months and have only had problems when I used certain plugins. Reaper v4.31 now v4.32 – EVALUATION LICENSE Thanks in advance if anyone has a little time to offer some suggestions to fix. I assume it is something in my setup or M-Audio Drivers, or issues with Windows 7 compatability. Anyone have any experience with this type of issue? I am not blaming the program, Reaper has worked great for me. I have gone to the Reaper forums, but nothing has worked that I have tried (very few suggestions). Windows is checking for a solution to the problem. Now - not only does this occur, but Reaper now just stops and closes with the following message It would stop for a split second at a random point (sometimes it played through just fine), and then continue on. After about 2 weeks I started getting a stutter during playback and when recording.

It has a 60 day trial, so initially everything worked fine. I dont have any games or other programs.Īnyway - I downloaded the latest Reaper version just to make sure everything worked. Let me also say there is not much else on the computer, I do have Microsoft Office package as I do work from home and need access/excel. This computer has a better processor, so much more RAM etc.and yet, Reaper is not running right.

I recently bought a new PC / Windows 7 with the specs you see below. I have been using Reaper for over a year on a very old PC (Windows XP) with M-Audio Fast track pro and everything had been working fine.
