CPU Overload in PT11..?
Hi all,
Every few days I'm getting regular messages popping up in playback and recording with the below message: 'Protools ran out of CPU power. Try deactivating or removing native plugins (-9173).' I thought this wasn't supposed pt happen in 11. Or is this a problem with my computer? I'm running a Macbook Pro with 2.4 GHz, 8 GB of memory and two external G drives for audio and sample libraries, so I'm assuming this shouldn't be happening. All optimisations are in order. Memory leak? It'll be fine for days then these messages pop up very regularly and cripple my session. |

And one more thing. When it happens, the CPU % goes up to around 200% when the session is playing or recording.
Hmmm....... |

What plugins in the session? I find if I have a few Kontact tracks with heavy stuff like Session Strings, I can hit the red on the cpu meter.

A lot of plugins and yes, a lot of Native Instrument. The funny thing is the problem persists even when I convert the NI tracks to audio. The CPU still seems spent.
I'm now suspecting the mini grand piano tracks killing it which I just find odd as I didn't think it was much of a CPU hog. Much prefer it to all the Kontakt piano sounds. |

Scratch that. No idea what it is.
I know can't playback for longer than five seconds without a CPU error message..... |

Any reverbs or Sansamp? It could be de normalization. If so adding a dither plugin before the reverb may help.

Re: CPU Overload in PT11..?
I use Sansamp on bass. I also use Avid's reverb one a lot.
I just opened a session this morning and snap. After about an hour this happened again. I was using Konktat Studio Drummer which seemed to be triggering it. Even when I disable the Kontakt tracks I'm still getting CPU error messages every 2 seconds or so in playback, so I'm at a complete standstill. Correct me if I'm wrong (and I'm often wrong) but I thought the new 64 bit engine was supposed to eliminate the CPU error message/'you ran out of cpu power' type problems.... |

Re: CPU Overload in PT11..?
Have you tried moving aside all plugin files from their folders so do they do not load at all?
