I seem to recall discussion of this issue a few years ago but I'm not sure if there was ever a solution.
I have two Win10 slave machines and both will load up my VE Pro instruments then, after 5-10 min, spontaneously unload a large chunk of memory. I hadn't notices this behavior until switching to VEP 6 (I recently upgraded from 5). For example, one slave loads up to about 45 GB of VI Pro/Kontakt/EW Play instruments then quickly drops down to 36 GB after a few minutes. You can load up the Windows Task Manager and watch the memory usage - rising during load, flat for 5-10 minutes then a 9 GB drop over about 10-20 seconds.
The problem is that I'd like to load some more samples on that machine but I start to get crackles/pops if I load it up more at the start, presumably becuase it's starting to run out of memory. So I'd really like to have that extra 9 GB available.
Any thoughts on what to do about this odd behavior? As I mentioned, I never noticed this with VEP 5 but my switch to 6 also corresponded with adding some new libraries and increasing my RAM usage.
Thanks in advance,
