Reaper freezing during mix
Hi everyone, I am having a freezing problem with Reaper. I work mostly with virtual instruments and when this issue occurs, it doesn't bother me because I use a lot of heavy Kontakt instruments. Once I've done writing, I render all the MIDI tracks and start mixing and that's where the problem starts to bother me: yesterday I worked on a project with less than 40 tracks (don't remember the exact amount and I can't check the project right now), I rendered all the tracks and started mixing using almost exclusively the Solid EQ and the Solid Dynamics from Native Instruments. From time to time the program had some hiccups which lasted a few seconds, ranging from 1 to 6 seconds (during this hiccups, neither Reaper or the plugins weren't answering to my inputs, the GUI of the arrange view and the mixer was frozen etc.). I thought this was happening due to the Imperial LCS theme, but switching to the Default Theme didn't change much.
When I closed the mix and started mastering, I loaded in my master track a Luftikus EQ, an LA2A and a tape simulator clone from an italian independent developer (they're x86 plugins), the YouLean Loudness Meter and the spectrum analyzer that comes with JS ReEQ and I noticed that all the plugins froze with Reaper, except for the x86 ones who kept running (the GR animation and the tape reel on the GUI were respectively moving and spinning) and they also moved according to my mouse input.
According to a friend of mine, this happens because of a plugin that's causing all this mess, any idea on how I can test, verify which plugin is the "bottleneck" and troubleshoot this issue? Because it's really annoying.
