AmpliTube 5 crashes when I use the looper.

[KholaTheKid]

The 8 track section of amplitube runs normal. It's all good on that end. But when I'm using the looper. It either crashes while I'm looping or crashes before I can even loop.

My pc specs is RTX 2070, Ryzen 2600x, and 16gb ram OC'd to 2966.

My Audio Interface is extremely outdated.
It's a Tascam US-122L. And the thing is, could it crash because of how outdated the Audio Interface is? The drivers I use for it are probably outdated and were the only ones I was able to find. I got it about 3 years ago, but my brother used it for about 5+ years before he gave it to me.

The easiest way to baseline your PC is against the DAW you are using if you are. That will be your processing bottleneck. Your memory is a little low and I find 32 Gb gives AmpliTube 5 lots of breathing room. Windows audio is VERY sensitive with outdated drivers and exclusive audio control because a background process is likely fighting with Amplitube 5 for the use of it. Set your Windows performance to background processes priority and your display options to best performance. This will all help but overclocking and the drivers for the old interface are the likely culprits.

So it'd be best to hold off on the looper until I upgrade the memory and audio interface?

The other suggestions can be done prior to improve performance but an old driver especially audio or graphic has no work around. I use the Axe I/O with a Ryzen 7 / 32 Gb / 3 Tb SSD (important) and the looper in both Amplitube and Presonous and they both work flawlessly. A good article about optimizing Windows audio for a home studio will have the settings I mentioned and a few more (additionally USB power saving and a few more) .

Your memory might be slightly insufficient, and I believe 32 GB provides AmpliTube 5 with plenty of space to operate smoothly doodle jump Windows audio can be quite sensitive, especially with old drivers and exclusive audio settings, as a background process may be competing with AmpliTube 5 for audio access.

I have issues with the looper crashing and I don't think it has anything to do with computer specs. Just think of how much computing power and memory are in looper pedals... not a lot. True they don't have other software running, but come on, in 2025 a potato can record a mono track.

I have the latest update and the looper will crash every time if I open a saved project. If I open a saved project and go to the looper and click record it makes some awful sounds and then AT closes. I have noticed that I am able to clear the looper (right click one of the record buttons > "clear all") after opening a saved project even though I haven't recoded anything (this is also an indication to me that something is wrong with the software). If I clear the looper before recording that it doesn't crash. Maybe give that a try.
