Hi all,
Apologies if this is in the incorrect section (seemed appropriate), please let me know if this should go elsewhere.
Issue: I recently had an upgraded pc built as I have a rather large template and was hitting cpu bottlenecks. I'm still seemingly bottlenecking somewhere and I can't quite determine where. Any advice greatly appreciated.
Specs:
Intel Core i9-10900K CPU @ 3.70GHz
Windows 10 Pro 64bit
64 Gb RAM (G.SKILL 4X16 D4 3600)
MSI Meg ACE Z490 Motherboard
Samsung EVO 970 NVME M.2 System Drive
Samsing EVO 970 NVME M.2 Audio File / Session Data Storage Drive
Various Samsung EVO 860 SSD Sample Library drives
Audio Interface: Babyface Pro FS
VEPro 6 (same machine) hosting all VSTi's (3 instances in the project, capped to 6 threads each, although I've tried various approaches here)
DAW(s): Cubase, Pro Tools, Reaper all having this issue
Cubase and Pro Tools seem to handle a little more than Reaper before audio issues kick in. I'm having to keep my buffer size at 1024 to avoid crackling, which doesn't seem right given the specs. I keep my Kontakt instances purged and I've followed what optimization tips I could find and CPU and RAM usage look good numbers-wise, but still running into audible problems with seemingly not much going on sample-wise.
Would love to know if I'm missing something before spending more money on wild guesses like upping my RAM to 128Gb, etc.
Cheers.
