Hi Tom What bit depth, and sample rate are your tracks, and the project? Are they mono continuous tracks, or are there loads of different multichannel small slices?
I am running over 100 3rd order non continuous tracks (mono, stereo, 5.1, 1st-3rd order files) to a 36 channel rig, on a 2009 macpro. Yes it gets a little sticky, and delayed play/arm etc as the tracks and plugs mount up, but no drop outs. I am running from internal 6 drive raid and ssd. So that may be your problem... Are you using the block decoders from blueripple? Because if you aren't, then that rig maybe a bit to much for one core/thread. Fire over your settings, and i will see if i can help.
