Vst Lags And Consumes Cpu In Pro Tools – Does Anyone Have An Effective Solution? Options

[branwenarianwen]

Hi everyone,
I am using Pro Tools 2022 with many heavy VSTs like Kontakt, Omnisphere, etc. Although my computer is quite powerful (Core i7, 32GB RAM, SSD), when opening many tracks, the software starts to lag, hang or crash, especially when switching sessions.

I have tried:

Increasing buffer size to 1024

Reducing voices in Kontakt

Moving VST library to separate SSD

But the situation is still slow and consumes CPU.

I want to ask:

Does anyone know how to optimize VST performance in Pro Tools?

Should I use a plugin that supports RAM/CPU optimization, and which one should I choose?

Does splitting sessions or using SSD cache help with stability?

Looking forward to sharing experiences from those who have encountered similar situations.

Thanks in advance to the Plugvery community!
