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.
