2 DSP
96k
No delay compensation
HW buffer 256 samples
16 processors
CPU 85%
Disk buffer level 2
Cache size normal
Computer is new Mac Pro 2 X 2.4 Quad core Intel Xeon with OS 10.6.4

If it helps in diagnosing what was wrong , I was also experiencing some digital clicks and pops that are now gone. Thanks again for your reply . All the best, Rich
Hi Rich,

Glad you're running now!

A few things..

48 voices is a low setting for a 96k session! unless you are running a very slim session!!

256 buffer might be tight if you are running any heavy RTAS plugs! again a cause of pops and clicks.

16 processors? this needs to be be lowered to avoid RTAS over messages and cpu spikes and clicks and pops. try 14 or lower? this won't effect overall performance.


Chris
