Here a really strange one for ya.
I'm running windows 7 Ultimate x64, TI soft 3.3.4 And cubase 5.1 (64bit + Win7 Support) All legit. I put the TI in a project and open VC and every time I tweak something in the interface with the mouse or a actual know, lets say cutoff, the cpu spike through the roof. Here is the kicker, I deactivate VC, adjust the knobs and still spikes even with the plug is turned off. I can move the knobs on any other VSTI and I do not get the crazy results the TI gives me. Now here is what I have done. I have set the latency up to give it plenty of buffer room, and I have pulled all my USB devices accept for the mouse keyboard and the TI. I have shut off every service that I can safely shut off. Im at a total loss. I really need help.
Here are my specs.
I7 920
Asus rampage II extreme
6gb Corsair Ram
ATI Saphire 4870 <--- not for games, for rendering
TI desktop
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
