I was running a small session the other night. Just an acoustic and a vocal.

I had like 3 tracks for the acoustic (DI and 2 mics) and 6 or 7 for the vocal (each part of the song; verse, chorus, bridge, outro)

So I had the acoustics through an AUX sub and the Vocals through an AUX sub, those 2 subs to another AUX sub for processing - limiter, etc.

Sends on tracks direct to output for monitoring.

So started tracking with all plugins disabled for latency and I was getting 100% CPU spikes that would cause a pop in the recording process.

I restarted, rebooted - nothing made them go away.

I finally disabled all tracks and just went out the main output (no more AUX routing) and CPU spikes went away for good.
