DROPOUT, Wow!

Mixing orchestral sections down to audio from 4 instances of Philharmonik, about 70 tracks. Got everything mixed down to 5 tracks of audio except 4 tracks of midi percussion. When playing it I suddenly get a red DROPOUT bottom of screen and Sonar freezes up. Get into Task Manager and find Sonar using 153,000 memory, Bitbridge using 605, 000 and processor running at 100%. Try and stop Sonar in Task Manager but doesn't work. Have to hard shut-off computer.

Could this be the reason? After mixing to audio I delete the midi tracks. So there are three instances of Philharmonic that don't have associated midi tracks. I can't think of anything else.

This has never happened to me before. Running an i7-950 at 3.09 with 12g memory at 1333. Every so often I get a blue screen of death memory disaster. I think it's my new Gigabyte  board. It won't run the memory at 1600 at all even though the memory cards are rated at that speed. Have a new board on order.

What's your buffer size?

Not real clear about buffers. In Audio Advanced they are both 512. In Audio General, Buffers in playback has 2 but looks like that is all greyed out.

I bounced the rest of the percussion without trying to play anything, deleted all the Philharmonik and am now mixing just in audio and it's working fine. Saved to a different name though so i can try some things with the one that didn't work.
