Sorry for the late reply. I abandoned podium for a bit because of this problem:
I’m using Focusrite Scarlett 2i4.
I could also get the same problem when using the standard drivers and setting the buffer size really low (to e.g. only 3ms buffer size).
When it happens CPU indicator is completly red. The machine i’m trying is not really made for audio stuff as i’m using it for all other computer related things too. So there might be a problem with something like network drivers or else. I also tried creating project without loading any vsts without any success.
Also: I’m currently evaluating Reaper which shows no issues so it is probably podium or one-core-processing (because of the free limitation) specific…
