What is THE RTCPU thing anyway?
I really don't know either. I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out why Reaper 4 struggles to cope with relatively low plugin loads. It doesn't make a difference using bigger latencies either. I really like Reaper but this is seriously making me consider changing DAW.

I've searched on this forum and on KVR for an answer but no one seems to have a definitive answer. All I can surmise is that Reaper can't cope with certain plugins or plugin loads and throws a wobbly. It doesn't seem to use all 6 CPU cores even though it is set to do so.

In the SynthMaster example I gave above Win 7 Task Manager is reporting only 7% CPU use yet Reaper 4 is reporting 133% RT CPU. WTF?
