So I have beyond a doubt figured out this is due to the processor and not hard drives. I decided to reduce Studio One down from 6 threads, to 2 threads and it was still working at 19% CPU which is fantastic.
I then took my VE PRO 5/MIR PRO session and upped it from 2 threads to 4 and it only was hiting 75% CPU now with all strings playing. So I am definitely going for the maximum CPU for this motherboard and calling it a day. I can't really work with doing freeze tracks because I use y Bricasti all the time and it takes hours to freeze a song (because it freezes one track at a time, in real time). If this all works out with the CPU upgrade though I will probably just use Hybrid Reverb instead of the Bricasti during the working process and then after all tracks are bounced do the final mix of audio files to the Bricasti instead of the Hybrid reverb.
As a side note, I upped the thread from 2 to 4 and got over 25% gain in performance. When I did from 2 to 6 thread It was only 30% so the returns are greatly diminished after 4 it seems.
