Hi,
In Activity Monitor what are the memory values when playing ? and crashing ?
How much ram is used ?
Can you change the preoload buffer size ?
Did you post your problem on the Spitfire Site ?
Did you try not using VEP ?
Hi. Thanks so much for the response.
Do you mean the CPU usage numbers? Memory values don't change.
Ram used: 62.51GB by VEP and 69.91GB total usage.
I am able to change the preload buffer size. I'm assuming you suggest increasing it? (first instrument I check is 60MB). While I am tempted to increase it for everything, I feel like I shouldnt be getting these spikes since I'm not running the most intensive library as it is?
Just doing this now. Good idea!
I can't not use VEP. My host computer is a 2012 Mac Mini, and I am super limited on RAM.
Hello
Can you give me exactly your configuration
Best
Cyril
Sorry for the delay!
OSX 10.11.6
2009 MP (4,1 flashed to 5,1)
2x 3.33 GHz 6-core Intel Xeon
128GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC
2x2TB 960 QVO SSD storage for all samples through PCI + 500GB SSD for boot and software on PCI
With my template loaded but not connected to Cubase on my Mac Mini:
55.92 GB of memory used (1,609 threads)
CPU sitting at 4.3%
Once I connect it jumps to 55-60% (512 buffer in cubase)
All systems runnig static IP through ethernet
Hopefully thats everything!
hello
If you connect SSD on your Macpro you are limited by the PCI II speed, you need to add a PCI III interface and connect your SSD on it , then you will obtain the full speed of your SSD.
When you connect your your MacMini to your Mac pro
you lauch something to play until you get problem
then you go in activity monitor /memory and you note and report the values in the cartridge
Yep, got my SSD's on PCI cards.
So, sounds like I have to rebuild my template from scratch? Are you able to give a rough estimate of what the MP can handle for a normal system? Im pretty dissapointed I have more than half my RAM unused and I am maxing out on CPU usage. I will do what you say, but to what extent can these machines be pushed?
thanks so much.
give me the figures of the activity monitor/memory
I cannot see anything wrong, did you play this song before making the screen copy ?
Thanks for checking those out.
No, this is just sitting idle. If I play a few instruments at the same time I get an overload and the audio is garbled. I was suggested to change the pre-load buffer rate. I set it to max. That brought my RAM usage to 100 GB but my CPU is pinned at 97% (which is the opposite effect that change is supposed to have?)

If you want I continue to help you do what I have ask.
I need the figures after the overload message
I don't get an actual overload message. But the audio is unintelligible. I will boot it up and get those right now! Thanks for your patience.

https://puu.sh/Fu4Hq/c6401c5abb.png CPU usage. With current setting for pre-load buffer maxed.
https://puu.sh/Fu4Fe/8873130a63.png Are the libraries playing. Mostly soniccoture and Spitfires Albion NEO
Thanks

I need also the Memory values
What are you running? I think my probblem is BBC. I took it off my one template, put it by itself onto another. it took about 40-50% of CPU usage. I think it isn't very well optimized. I had a friend with a similar issue to mine but with Junkie XLs brass library.
B
I no longer have this tempalte set up the same way. I don't think sending values of my current template will help solve the issue. It seems like its the Spitfires BBC plug in at this point. Thank you for your help though .

The value of Memory in the Activity Monitor are very important !
It could show the problem !
