Ah… I was hoping you would have written “8GB RAM” with 64GB RAM I have no easy explanation.

Is it with all presets?

A specific session or any session?

Haha! Yeah I think my spec is ok…it’s any session in Cubase 12…but stand-alone is great!

maybe it’s a setting in Cubase? Might be one for the Cubase forum actually! But I appreciate you taking the time to help!
