How many VSTs do you usually have running at once?
What types?
What DAW software do you use?

I'm trying to troubleshoot something so any info on this
would be ace.

depends on what i'm working on. sometimes i have none
running, sometimes more than 20. vsti's are heavier though,
my computer wouldn't be able to handle 20 vsti's...

I usually have 1 - 3 instances of my Synth1 open
simultaneously. I usually just stick with the standard stuff
in FL for FX because they work incredibly well.

I try to stick with the basics... I use allot of eq,
compressors, stereo splitters etc, pretty much on 30
channels, sometimes more sometimes less and I usually use
10-20 reberbs.. the reverbs takes a bit of computer power,
but im trying to use send with reverb to minimize cpu
usage.. but sending sucks so it often becomes too many
either way, then I try to stick with just a couple of
synths, maybe a synth for the bass and lead synth, it often
happens that i double the same synths though, just to be
able to keep the old setting while tweaking a new out of
it.
I just got an 3,2ghz with 1024 ram running it in 4ms latency
on the bigger projects and it works without any problems, I
usually run stuff in 2ms latency though untill the end of an
project where stuff get's really heavy on the cpu.

Yesterday I was playing a "theatre soundtrack set" on
practice for a play, was streaming large audio files and the
latency was set to 2ms... got buffer problems in the middle
of it even though I didnt use more then a few parametric
eq's, so if I ever go to play live, I would use allot lower
latency, just to be sure.

A good way to save cpu is to make most of an track without
adding reverb etc untill the end, you can also add all the
fx you want, save presets and just remove them while working
on parts that are heavy on the comp, bouncing certain parts
with fx on can be good to but might be a bit of troubling
when working with stuff that varies allot.. I usually bounce
certain parts of beats that require allot of fx and then
just load it up as a wav file back into the project..

But really.. it's from time to time too, I dont trust
computers... sometimes things works great with a shitload of
vts's, sometimes it hardly works at all.
