Pop-up Warning?

Why does this WARNING pop up after every recording? I have no idea what it means. I have no other applications competing for processor time, that I know of.

It means you are getting droputs (as Bill’s post leads you to).

You can always tick the little checkbox for “Turn off dropout detection” - you are still likely to be getting dropouts you just won’t be told about them.
