Thanks for the reply! My computer is a beast. It is a 10 core i7 with 64gb of ram. All the optimization stuff Avid says to do is done. This was a fresh install of windows, protools, etc 3 months ago. When looking at the system usage, it is RARELY above 20% total. Even small sessions crash when switching to smaller buffer sizes.

Another possibly related issue: Playback is never an issue, but even with the 1024sample buffer, often real time bounces fail. It is very frustrating, because I mix hybrid through a fair bit of hardware. I end up having to record the mix into a new stereo track and then apply the mastering chain in a new session. But, that isn't ideal for my workflow.

I'm starting to really think that the lynx drivers are horrible.
