Ram issues people!!!!!! HELP! HELP! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

[ktnujynisis]

Alright. First of all, I would like to say that I 'm not upset and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE VSL!!!!

Ok, now that I got that out the way. I'm a new customer so I may be a lacking the expert knowledge. Ok, I've invested in a Mac Pro 2.66 Quad. I have 3gb so far. I am only running the Chamber Strings Collection. I am using Prottols as my Host. (ever since the new rtas). BUT I JUST CAN'T SEEM TO GET CONTROL OF FLOATING RAM. NOBODY RESPONDED TO MY FIRST BLOG SO I AM TYPING IN FULL TEXT DARNIT!!!!!  I even tested it.  My ram peaked at 2064mb. I loaded a simple matrix. Then I cleared it. When I cleared it, I never went back up to 2000mb. It peaked at 1664mb. Then I loaded a few patches and a matrix. After that I cleared it off. So when I checked my ram it showed  0 samples used and about 1400mb peak. I keep repeating the same steps with different combinations of patches and matrix files until I ended up with 300 mb WITH ABSOLUTELY ZERO SAMPLES LOADED.

What am I doing wrong? eventually I couldn't even run my Protools because it had no space to work. Nothing could work in that matter. Even when I closed out VI and reopened it, the ram was still at the same spot. The only way that I could get my ram back was to restart my CPU. now thats not right is it?  Am I not erasing the samples out of Ram correctly? Do I need to reload VSL. Whats the dealeo? Is it a Mac configuration issue? SOMEBODY PLEASE WRITE BACK THIS TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP! HELP!

Thank you. I thought you guys were going to leave me empty handed again. Is this the first time you guys heard of this issue?

Hi all, I'll use "-------------" to separate statements and make this easier to read, I hope.-------------- I have the VI running on a WinXP 64 Pro system with 4gb of RAM.------------- After I load the VI 800mb gets sucked away and I can't figure out where it goes. Is this normal? This was happening with the 32-bit player as well but I thought I'd wait to say something until the 64-bit player came out so I could see if this behavior continued. It does.------------ Here is the scenario: ----------I boot-up the computer and check Task Manager (TM). Look at "Processes" Tab to see whats running. Only about 198mb of RAM is Committed and I have 3802mb (or something close to that) left. ---------- Then I load up the stand-alone VI and in the TM I see the "ViennaInstruments.exe" process start. The other VI related processes are there as well. -------------The "ViennaInstruments.exe" process is done loading and it only takes about 130mb of RAM but now the amount of Committed RAM is 1114mb. During the start-up process of the VI I see the amount of Committed RAM rising by huge amounts but the "ViennaInstruments.exe" process is only rising by 5-10mb as a time. ----------------I don't see where the 786mb of RAM went. There is no Process in the TM that shows its using that much RAM. Where did it go? ---------- When I close the VI I don't get that RAM back. I only get back 130mb the "ViennaInstruments.exe" used. ---------- If I re-start the VI it takes the normal 130mb of RAM but now when I close it I get the 786mb back! Weird. ---------- I also opened Sonar Pro 7 64-bit version to see if it behaves the same way. It does not. It takes about 65mb and my Committed RAM goes up by that amount and when I close it the Committed RAM goes down by that same amount. -------------Anyone else experiencing this phenomenon? -------------One last thing. On my WinPX 32-bit system the VI behaves like the way I described sonar behaving above. ------------Thanks for your input! David
