Orion stops workingHi everyone, I am experiencing that some projects after running sometime
stop automatically or the sound starts chopping until i have to stop the project myself. I do work on an Intel I7, 8Gb Ram on Win 7 (64 Bit). I also use the Asio Drivers for the On-board sound card due I haven't got a decent external one. I tried working instead with a cheap USB-plunplay soundcard but even though the sound quality improves a little bit the sounds start chopping immediately. I would like to know if the problem is related to the lack of ram memory or if it is about the sound card. Nowadays I just have the posibility to go from 8Gb to 16Gb or buying a better external cheap sound card (not more than 200 USD). What could be the best solution to this? Finally, Id like to add that this is harder to happen if there are no plug-ins running on the Inserts. Thanks in advance and so sorry if this experience with the software does not to be writen here. Please feel free to move it to the write place in that case. Thanks again!!!
Re: Orion stops workingWhat are your ASIO buffer settings? Try to increase them to see if that helps.
Re: Orion stops workingGo to Options->Audio Output Settings and take a screenshot and post here, for example this is my actually config
"Pleeease, bring back ORION!"
Re: Orion stops workingThank you for your feedback!

Re: Orion stops working
I am wondering why your Output Latency says 0ms. Also... Can you post a picture of this when it's expanded (advanced options)? SoundCloud ::: Facebook
Re: Orion stops workingIf your device doesn't actually have multiple outputs try deselecting that option.........couldn't hurt........
Re: Orion stops working
How long before your sound starts chopping ? Seconds ? Minutes ? Could it be some plugin that's using more and more CPU as the project runs...long release times that use more and more polyphony or something like that ?
Re: Orion stops workingHi and thanks everyone for the replies.
The first image showing Audio Settings parameters has been taken with the Asio Buffer size at 2048 Samples. I do have this trouble on a project that consists of 22 channels. Some inserts are from Waves but no more than that. What do you think I should do? go for a 16 Gb ram expansion or an external sound card? Thanks a lot!
Re: Orion stops working22 channels of what ? Audio ? Synth Plugins like DIVA ? Are you using large sample libraries that don't stream from disk ?
Re: Orion stops workingyes, audio but no plug ins like DIVA and no large sample libraries
Re: Orion stops workingWhen you experience this, what does the CPU usage on the bottom right corner of Orion says?

Re: Orion stops workingIt increases and after 40% cpu usage the sound starts chopping meanwhile the percentage
increases ultil 100%. Thank you
Re: Orion stops workingYeah, thought so.
On your i7 (quad core, I believe), 40% is close to 2 cores working at almost full capacity, 100% means you have no more CPU power left to work with. Try to remove only Waves plugins, one by one, and see if this still happens. Note if the CPU usage decreases when you delete a certain plugin on your insert, and I don't mean just turn it off. Bring up the plugin and press CTRL+D. If the chopping sound stops, that's your culprit. Personally, I would advise against using Waves plugins in general inside Orion. They are good audio tools, but the wrapper seems to cause problems for many. SoundCloud ::: Facebook
Re: Orion stops workingIt works fine without inserts.
Would it work fine with inserts on expanding ram to 16Gb? Thanks!
