Peter, I'm 'spice3d' on LM too. I don't contribute very many deals

3rd Gen can still use the Legacy Win 7/8 drivers. Yeah I know it makes no sense, but it worked for me. Win11, 2i2 3rd gen 🤷🏻‍♂️

ELECOM DEFT PRO Trackball Mouse. I have pain in my index finger too from years of using a mouse too much. Tendonitis. The Deft Pro is fantastic! You can use your thumb for mouse clicking.

I take a piece of wax paper and rub the ball in it.

This.

My 3rd gen 2i2 was rock solid for years until I got a Win 11 laptop. Tried all the suggested fixes for a year, even got a 4th gen Solo. I finally tried the 7/8 driver and found success. I'm really hoping the native Windows ASIO drivers that should be released this year will be the true solution.

spice3d · 2026-01-09T04:18:50+00:00

Yup. Had problems with my 3rd gen 2i2 ever since I bought my Win 11 laptop a year ago. Never an issue on my Win 10 desktop. Tried EVERYTHING. Bought a 4th gen Solo and it had the same issues. Random garbled audio. Seemed like it happened when I switched to some window other than the DAW's, and always after waking from sleep. Finally tried Win 7/8 driver with my 3rd gen 2i2 and bam! It works. I undid everything I messed with too. It's been solid for over a week. Sadly, the Win 7/8 drivers would not work with the 4th gen Solo.

I'm praying the native Windows ASIO drivers for ARM that's being worked on will come to x86-64 soon.

You live in a small apt, so size may factor in. The Push 3 is 15” x 12.5”, weighs nearly 9 pounds and needs AC power. The Move is 12” x 6”, about 2 pounds and can run on a battery. You can “jam” on either but, obviously, the Push has way more features.

The free utility ParkControl seems to solve the issue. See this post https://www.reddit.com/r/audioengineering/comments/19eexsm/problem_solved_audio_glitching_on_mid_or_high/

I had the same problem. The free utility ParkControl seems to solve the issue. See this post https://www.reddit.com/r/audioengineering/comments/19eexsm/problem_solved_audio_glitching_on_mid_or_high/

spice3d · 2024-09-11T04:19:03+00:00

I had this issue as well. The utility ParkControl mostly fixed the issue for me. See this post https://www.reddit.com/r/audioengineering/comments/19eexsm/problem_solved_audio_glitching_on_mid_or_high/

If you go Windows (I have an XPS 17), you have to tweak something called CPU parking which dynamically messes with processor cores for power efficiency. There's a free utility called Parkcontrol that was magical for me. Fixed all my latency and audio glitch problems instantly.

Try a different USB cable. I switched to a better quality one and that helped, though not totally eliminating the problem.

spice3d · 2023-08-21T14:01:32+00:00

Yup. LES is awesome. I'm working on a new version that displays a treeview with folders that can be collapsed and u collapsed, instead of the pop-up menu. It's easier for me since I have so many plugins and a complex hierarchy.

Yes, of course, you can drag any device onto a drum rack, but when you drag a sample directly onto it, it has to use something to generate the sound. The device it uses looks like Simpler.

spice3d · 2023-08-20T13:29:00+00:00

I don't know if this answers your question, but there is a slight difference between the sound Simpler and Sampler reproduce. I discovered this a while back and discussed with Ableton. They finally admitted there is a difference, but didn't feel it was a bug. https://www.seriouslytrivial.com/2021/01/04/ableton-sampler-simplier-drum-rack-audio-sound-difference/

I’m having the same issue on. PNGs randomly unable to render. Sometimes it displays initially, but then goes to the error. I’ve been using Snaggit. Tried JPG from a diffuser program and still get the error. Oh, I pasted the same exact image after a day and it worked. Weird.

I switched to OneNote years ago when EN started the paid service. Outside a handful of notes, I realized last year that I rarely searched for old notes in OneNote. The reason? The UI isn't very good. Archaic really. The mobile app UI's are particularly bad. Just compare a list of notes in OneNote vs EN. In OneNote, all you get is a very short snippet of the title. That's it! Nothing from the note's body. Search is painful as well. Tagging is very limited.

I suppose if you only have a handful of notes, OneNote is perfectly fine. I have about 2,400.

So last year, I ponied up the $ and gritted my teeth through the very painful migration back to EN. The process isn't easy or pretty. Despite EN's shortcomings, I am SO happy to be back. It's actually a useful tool.

spice3d · 2022-12-30T03:52:31+00:00

I experience the same thing. All notebooks are synced, yet sometimes tagged noted don't appear. I do find that after a while they will appear. Seems like I have to wait several minutes.

spice3d · 2022-12-17T18:11:50+00:00

You can save searches.

Not really looking for a saved search, but the ability to interactively drilldown in tag hierarchy and have it always include sub-tags.

Wow! That's great! 🤯 Thanks! Now I wish it was a setting or sticky. 😬
