Hi everyBody,
This is my first Thread and also my First experience with Pro Tools 12.5 HD ( just soft, not hardware )

I came from Sonar ( all versions ) I been used Cakewalk since legacy DOS releases and I would like to move to Protools so I can work with colleges that already used it.

My Hardware
Windows 10.0 (Build 10240)
Intel i7 3770k
16 GB Ram
5 HDD Total.
OS Running on Kingston SSD
1 Dedicated Toshiba HDWD120 7200 rpm for Sound Files.
3 monitors - Ati Radeon HD 4600 Series

Sound Card : Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 ( USB )

Universal USB Midi interface


I followed all AVID hardware tuning recommendations. ( Disabled HT on Bios
and things like that )

1- I Start my Session/project

2- Import 3 Audio Stereo files ( Drums and Pre Recorded Vocals )

3- Create Click Track

4- Set Kontakt 6 with Bass Instrument 229mb and Piano 364 mb

5- Start recording bass and piano midi tracks with no issues....

6- Set new Kontakt 2 instrument with 10 instruments ( strings ) 5 mb each = 50 mb Total Ram Load aprox.

7 - record 7 new midi tracks ... with no issues...

8 - Add a New Kontakt Instruments and Set send bus with reberb D-Verb and there the problems begins...

I made a lot of tests , adding/removing tracks , plugins , and there is no way to keep CPU meters in low values.
I Cant work further with the project,

I move the same project to Sonar... and I added 5 Virtual instruments and a lot of Midi and Audio Tracks and works smoothly with never an Audio Stop/Drop .


I Attached some Screenshots for reference...

Am I missing something ?? Or Protools just works like that with no Avid Hardware ?

I will appreciate your comments....


Regards
DR
