thanks a lot, ive been trying these things out before too, but not much change is happening except if i change the buffer size radically

i have 2 options of ASIO driver in the multitrack menu...

1. ASIO directX full duplex driver

2. ASIO multimedia driver

im using a dmx6fire 1024 soundcard, and now im wondering if this card is even good enough for use with cubase...since there isnt a specific dmx6fire driver i can choose in the menu, i guess i either dont have one that works prpertly or it doesnt support it, could this be whats wrong?

il keep trying diffrent things. again, thanks for the help
