32 or 64-bit Voicemeeter banana? Problems with recording using a DAW
Posted: Fri Mar 27, 2020 2:01 am
I will lead by asking if anyone knows if Voicemeeter is 32 bit or 64 bit? And is there a way to make sure that the software version i'm using is 64 bit? One person in another forum suggested that this may be part of the issue.
I am using Reaper Audio with Voicemeeter Banana. The audio device settings are set to Voicemeeter ASIO. On ASIO channels 1 and 2 are the computer's audio which I record into one track and then ASIO channel 3 takes the input from Hardware Input 1, which is my mic.
That also gets sent to Skype or Google Voice.
Now, most of the time, when recording, I have absolutely no problem recording myself on one track, using voicemeeter to send my mic audio to Skype to a source (I am a journalist), and then recording the Skype audio into another track. However, every once in a while, the audio is horrifically corrupted. It sounds clipped even though it is not clipped. Once it begins, Reaper seems unable to record literally anything without creating this god awful distortion. It's absolutely unusable for my work, and then I have to ask sources to get back on the phone for another interview. Once I restart Reaper, i generally don't run into problems when starting a new recording.
I have no idea why this is happening. I turned my buffering size up on both Voicemeter ASIO and Reaper's block size to 1024 just in case that would help. I have a very good computer however, so I'm not 100% sure that's the problem.

any help would be super appreciated
