Default Protools is low on memory...

I´m getting this message all the time when I´m using a lot (4-5) kontakt engines - I have 14GB RAM and my activity monitor shows half of my memory free (green) - anybody with the same problem?

but your only using a 32 bit app in Pro Tools
you need to look at an external VI host for your VIs
VEP seems to be popular
some like Reaper for hosting

Are you using the memory server? It's 64 Bit and works OK.

In Kontakt, open the preferences and enable the memory server. You will have restart Kontakt for it to take effect. After you restart you will see a new icon on your menu bar showing the total size of samples loaded into RAM. When you quit Pro Tools the memory server keeps running, so you have to close it to clear out your RAM.
