Export audio mixdown in cubase sx3

[deathvalley69]

Hi everyone, this is my first time on the forum (i just joined) and i have to say the responses and attitude of the folks here is really refreshing!

Anyway, my problem is also an Export Audio issue i have with Cubase SX (SX1 i think). When i Mixdown (not in realtime, though i may give this a go tonight) the mix is skipping.

Its never happened before, but on the 2 most recent mixes i did of the same song it jumps at least twice.

The changes i have made to my system recently are that i increased the buffer size A LOT, i think to around maximum, as i was getting a lot of crackling sounds on recordings i made through my Line 6 UX8 and so far this has worked astonishingly well. I also reinstalled Cubase and downloaded Cacheman and set up a seperate user profile specifically for music that has no start up programs.

anyone got any idea why this would be jumping though? It plays fine when i listen to the mix, just when i play the audio mixdown.

What's your CPU usage on this mix before you render it? Is your computer doing anything else while you render? (LIke running anti-virus software?)
