Cubase overloading on basic tasks

[dovroc]

Hi

I am having problems with Cubase overloading when performing what would seem to be very basic tasks.

My setup is as follows:

MSI Laptop iCore 5 2.3 Ghz
4GB Ram
Windows 7 64 bit

Cubase AI
Emu 0404 USB.
ASIO4ALL Software

When I insert a plugin e.g. Cubase Room Works on even one audio track, the VST performance bar starts rising considerable and if I dare insert another plugin the infamous “CPU Overload” Cubase message appears.

If I import a midi file with mupltiple tracks and insert a midi instrument from HALionOne on one of the tracks, the VST performance bar almost reaches its maximum and Cubase promptly displays “CPU Overload”.

I have tried changing the ASIO buffer size within ASIO4ALL, but this hardly makes any difference.

Cubase has no problem playing many tracks at once (audio or midi) the problem only seems to be with plugins and midi instruments.

Does anyone have any suggestion as to what the problem could be?

Thanks

The specs don't seem to be the strongest
So depending on how much you're running it could just be the specs reaching there max

Have you switched your power settings to high performance?

I've been having VST meter issues when I open up the Maschine sequencer.

I've decided to just bypass it by setting an output as a send, and using that output as an input on an audio track. That way I just bypass whatever VSTi I'm using.

I only get the issue with Maschine though. Definitely not with Cubase's own plugins and instruments. And I don't believe I get them with other Native Instruments stuff. At least I hope I don't So it's probably an N.I. issue. They've had the same sort of thing in the past with Reaktor. Hopefully they patch it up.

And
Hopefully you get some more help though.
