Tips to improve
performance
When using Cubase LE, the application’s
actions could become extremely delayed
or error messages such as “cannot
synchronize with USB audio interface” might
be displayed. Should such occurrences
becomefrequent,takingthefollowing
measures might improve the situation.
➊ Terminate other running
programs.
In particular, confirm that there
are not a large number of background
applications running.
➋ Reduce the use of plug-ins in
Cubase LE (effects, sound
generator plug-ins)
If there are a large number of plug-
ins running, the computer might be
struggling to keep up. In addition,
reducing the number of simultaneous
playbacktracksmightbeeective.
