So heres my problem:
Recently I upgraded my ram in my computer to 16 GBs and its been working very well. I did a large project recently that used a ton of CPU draining plug ins and it was starting to peak the performance a little bit, but it never became un-usable. The other day out of nowhere, studio one is acting like I never upgraded the RAM, and its starting to pop, crackle, freeze and lag, and basically become unusable from not nearly as many plug ins as I typically use, just for writing music...let alone trying to mix and master.
HERE IS EVERYTHING I HAVE TRIED:
I mix and master seperately, bouncing the tracks down with the plug ins so I am able to free up resources, its still peaking.
Obviously I turned drop out protection to max, and block size to max.
I bus out all my effects
I clear out all programs that my computer is using.
I suspect that studio one is not utilizing as much RAM as it should be, because 16 GB should be more than enough for me to use the plug ins I was using before. And yes, ive checked, I installed the RAM correctly.
Im not really sure where to go from here, but im at the point where I am going to have to switch DAW's soon because I cant do my work.
