There are about 22 different windows protection rules you can give exceptions to, so I checked them all. Instead of completely killing all the standard windows firewall and antivirus stuff, I gave Gig Performer exception privileges. Then I decided I’d try the anti-virus route. I loaded up GP again, changed the sample buffer, and got a blue screen reboot.

I didn’t have them directed toward the Focusrite anyway, but figured I might as well disable them. When I got home from work I loaded GP up again and tested it and it hung again. My issue has been resolved, but I’m not sure exactly what did it. I tried turning off all antivirus and other system security stuff and it didn’t help.

The issue is just that I have to kill the window and restart the application for the changes to take effect. But it actually does change the settings (which I can see through the Focusrite tray icon.)Īfter the GP hangs and I kill the window, when I open GP up again it uses the new settings that I chose. With other interfaces, after I hit the “Apply” button a window briefly pops up showing a progress bar, but with the Focusrite I don’t get that. I haven’t tried it with my MOTU or RME interfaces as those are on different machines.)Īn odd thing is that it actually does successfully change the Focusrite to the sample rate and buffer size I select. It does not do this if I choose something other than ASIO with the Focusrite, and and doesn’t do it if I choose a different ASIO interface (e.g., Roland. When I try to change the sample rate or buffer size of the Focusrite ASIO driver through GP the program hangs, the window goes white, and I get the “The application is not responding” from Windows. I’m running GP 3.5 in trial mode and having problems with my Focusrite 18i20 Gen 2.
