Computer Memory

Hi

As my Reason 12 sessions are getting bigger, I was getting out of memory error

I had 16GB (DDR4 3200), and the memory percentage was from 50% to 80%

I have upgraded to 32 GB and now the memory is worse, the same song is at 92%

I feel like I'm in clown world, any body else experienced this or has an explanation

Don't know why but leaving the computer for 10 minutes with not modifications and the memory came down to 25%,

So since expanding the memory you never left your computer for 10 minutes? What makes you think the problem is solved?

I don't know, I'm now paying attention here's the behavior since adding the RAM

I only use Reason on the computer.

I now open the project, it uses 92% or 32GB memory, it used to use 80% of 16GB, trying to figure this one out. Same project, same size .

Now after about 10 minutes, the memory drop to 20% - 25% without any modification to the song.

Shot in the dark here, but is your project maybe using an extensive sample library with Kontakt?
For example: whenever I load Damage 2 by Heavyocity into Kontakt for the first time in a project, it takes about 15 full seconds for the samples to be loaded into the memory. When I load a second instance it doesn't happen because the samples were already loaded from the first instance. However they have to load every time I open the project. Never used a library where it took 10min though.

Maybe a project with lots and lots of audio tracks that Reason has to load into memory to check for file Integrity and purges from memory afterwards. When played back it reads chunks of the audio files from storage so it doesn't have to hold the data in memory. Just guessing here.
