AAE error -9173 stronger than ever on PT 12.5

The issue only arises when a complex bus structure is in place. Without it, I can push it all the way to 99% and it's still rock solid.
If it were the fault of 3rd party plugins, I don't think this would be the case. Of course without knowing for sure, anything is possible.

I agree, I'm just encouraging you to exclude the common causes of issues. That should help you get attention quicker if you find a real core software issue.

Alright. I went ahead and did it. Took out all of the plugins from the plugins folder with the exception of Dverb and SignalGenerator, then trashed my preferences.

Ran the test...
Same results.

So hopefully we can check that one off the list.

It is clearly related to bus structure.

I have a project full of plugins that run quite smoothly and the buses structure is pretty easy.

Whereas I got another project with a kind of "Brauer" busses setup and it spikes from 50 to 100% super quickly.

I really want to be rude here. IS THIS FREAKING NORMAL THAT A COMMON PROBLEM CAN'T EVEN BE CONSIDERED BY A BRAND ???????

I cursed the audio world for being so dumb to stick with Pro Tools and Avid that have the WORST CLIENT SUPPORT I have ever seen in my life.

I mean come on we have to run a thread in a forum to find a solution BY OURSELVES ? Seriously even Apple or UAD don't dare to do that.
What's wrong with Avid.

I can't stand working with them anymore, I'm pretty sure Studio 1 will fulfill all my need. I can't work with this damn buggy PT that only gave me headaches since I've started with it.

Still experiencing some major CPU spikes from 50 to 100. This is unbearable. I can't work like that.

Even with all the windows closed down, I've also tried to play with the Cache Size (even if it has nothing to with) and even played with Block view to helps. Still nothing and still CPU Spiking like crazy.

It's even worse when I create a Mixbus. It seems related to that to me. It became a nightmare as soon as I create it (otherwise it's "bearable"). Force me create a mixbus as late as I can. That's stupid.

I come for an update !

Open your project that is buggy as hell. How many plugins does have the more processed track ?

I've noticed (and it is not a surprise). That putting 8 plugins on 1 track is consuming 2x more CPU than putting 1 plugin on 8 tracks.

Yeah I bet, that would screw up the DC big time

And what's funny is that the more auxes I create, the more it crashes. So it is impossible for to me to optimize CPU usage.

Anyway the maximum plugin I have on one track on the session is 5 (vocal). And the session is clearly unreadable. It crashes every 2 sec. The CPU on PT vary from 70-80 to 100 spike even when I'm not playing back.

It's unbearable, it's a track for a client and I can't even print the mix. PT is getting me in big troubles.

Hey Guilla,
I've reached my wit's end with this issue bogging down my ability to work, so I've been bouncing around on various threads looking for the cause/solution. These are my most recent findings...
