Editing During Playback?

I do a lot of my editing during playback. With Reaper this often causes dropouts in the audio. On the chat, I'm was told there is reasons for this as it keeps latency low, and requires complex implementation to avoid. Does this mean it can't\won't be done? Is this something other users would want as a feature? g

I edit during recording without a problem. Running Reaper in Windows 7.

Ah - I'm OSX

What happens if you turn off anticipative fx in prefs

Yeah, try turning off anticipative FX processing. This makes you hear the changes you made immediately instead of a few seconds later. Not sure if you're referring to this exactly. It shouldn't make a difference if you're on OSX or not.

ah no luck - the culprit is Undo actually. i guess i should have titles this "undo during playback", anyway, i can live with, though let me know if undo does this for you too g
