Hello Eric,
Yes -- to confirm Mark's reply (thanks, Mark), please try working through that section of the user guide, i.e. '
Section VII: Reference: Performance tuning' (pages 239-255 in the v5.0.1 version of the main Hauptwerk user guide), including the '
Other operating system and computer optimizations and diagnostics' subsection.
E.g. (as one of those steps covers) try leaving LatencyMon (
https://resplendence.com/latencymon ) running while Hauptwerk is running, and see if it reports any problems with real-time performance of the PC when the glitches occur. It often gives a clue as to their source.
Best regards, Martin.
