Re: Real CPU Usage vs. Pro Tools System Usage Window
What is actually happening? You describe lots of stuff but not what the exact issue is. Nobody can guess what you mean by "it's hitting its limits and is acting accordingly."
System wide CPU usage numbers tell you next to nothing useful, per core numbers tell you more. Even then if you are getting CPU errors you don't need to look at the meters. Just try solving the problem.
Turn off "ignore errors" and see what exact errors get thrown.
Always suspect plugins.
Standard troubleshooting:
- Trash prefs
- Pull all third party plugins out of the plugin folder
- Look for denormalization problems with plugins, like Sansamp, D-Verb, etc. don't use them or stick a dither plugin in front of them. All widely discussed on DUC in the past.
