Another CPU overload thread

[aaronbagby]

Hello out there. I am desperate to solve my current overload problem (AAE -9173).

I am using PT 2019, on a 2018 MBP with 2.9gHz i9 processor with 32 GB RAM running Mojave.

The overloads are happening while trying to print a fairly articulate passage of drums coming from Steven Slate Drums 5 (a full verse of a snare roll, marching band style). The spike to 100% happens at nearly the same spot EVERY pass, with literally every non-related track/bus made inactive and every single plugin disabled. Buffer size is maced at 2048, and I've tried various dick cache sizes. No luck.

The spike is coming down thread six in System usage. Drum samples are stored on a Lacie 2TB external, while audio is being recorded to a separate 2TB SSD. Session is 24bit/96kHZ, which may be a factor. But I'm really hoping I can solve this, it is literally destroying my workflow because I can't get past this verse. Thanks in advance for any insight here.
