Microbook buffer value troubleshooting

Post by Makrotulpa »

Also posted this in the MachFive forum - not sure where it would be best discussed.

I'm getting wildly different buffer settings from MOTU Microbook ASIO in MachFive standalone compared to those shown in Plogue Bidule.

I'm running an i7 2.4 Win8 with 16gb Toshiba laptop.
I have a MOTU Microbook II interface with the latest drivers from MOTU.
I've noticed running MachFive Standalone i'm getting frequent audio glitches despite the CPU sitting between 5 + 10%.
Hosting MachFive in Bidule using the same multi i'm getting roughly the same CPU with no glitches.
In both cases i'm using MOTU Microbook ASIO @ 44.1khz however i've noticed the buffer setting values in standalone are quite different - 88, 176,254, 352, 440, 528 etc
I'm set to the highest value listed - 880 - and still glitching
In Bidule i've got pretty familiar 32, 64, 128, 256, 512 - running at 128 seems to be totally fine.

Are these buffer values normal?
Any idea if they might be causing the glitches or am I barking up the wrong tree?
