What the heck gives? Have any of you had a similar problem with string libraries and then had an Ah Ha moment where you found out what the problem was and where able to fix it? I'm begging for help at this point. I just today bought still another string library - Heavyocity's NOVO strings in hopes that this would finally be the library that doesn't bring my Mac to its knees but I'm having the exact same freaking issues. One instance of say a Staccato string patch and the processing bar goes immediately into the red, clicks galore and the strings won't play on the beat. as soon as I try to use one of my string libraries - Hollywood Strings, Cinematic Strings 2.0, CineStrings, UVI Strings, etc. Omnisphere 2.0, the newest Kontakt Ultimate, etc. All my hardware synths and in the box synths are running nicely. I have no problem doing big pieces of music (I score TV shows).

The last tower they made before going to the cylindrical one. I use DP 9.01 on a 12 core Mac with 28 gigs of ram and Solid State drives. Robert Sands wrote:I have a very frustrating problem that is driving me bonkers.

If neither of these work for you, do put in a TechLink at and have them look at this. There are some old notes on this written by magicd from MOTU support. Second, how many instances of Kontakt are you running? Try one per instrument till you hit your core size-12 in your case. The first thing I would do is increase the buffer size. Thanks guys, I really appreciate your suggestions on what to try because I'm at my wit's end. should not be happening with a Mac this powerful. Lol What is the very first thing that comes to mind that you would do if you were experiencing this issue? I might be missing something very obvious. Don't assume I am not an idiot with some of this stuff. It might be something very obvious that I'm not aware of when using sampled string libraries. I just go and load in say violins in one of these libraries and bam, it maxes out the processing immediately. Robert Sands wrote:I haven't tried any optimization. I can 90% of the time run more CPU hungry plug ins with 9.12 than previous versions, so it could be a solution for you. Power user = by the very nature of the beast the most demanding set ups. I know for a lot of people it's unstable so be prepared to roll it back if that's the case with you, but not everyone is experiencing the bugs with certain set ups that a lot of power users are. The other "drastic" measure here is to update to DP 9.12. You can even get third party apps that route audio back to DP from Kontakt stand alone. DP like most DAWs assigns a single CPU to a single track in the Mixer, so while I have a modded 12 core that shouldn't ever run out of CPU theoretically, I can easily max out a single track by stuffing it with pigs.ĭrastic measures wise, it's possible to run Kontakt as a stand alone, and route via IAC MIDI from DP. Cinestrings comes to mind where I ended up maxing the CPU out but stacking just two heavily scripted libraries on a track. Right away especially with heavy scripted Kontakt libraries do not over stack a Kontakt instance. I play dark rock music essentially, but even then string libraries can be an issue. I'm sure other people are better qualified than me to help with this. Please, someone tell me what I might be doing wrong or have set wrong in my Mac. I have such great string libraries (and so much money tied into them) and I can't use any of them. I have a very frustrating problem that is driving me bonkers.
