Is this a precise error message, or is it just Live telling you "fuck it, I don't know how to deal with this shit, so I'm shutting down."? I installed 8.2.6, to see if there were any improvements, and, after a while, this box popped up, and Live shut down. It's not that I find it completely unthinkable; I was at my desktop computer (which is completely outperformed by my laptop now), and I was getting some pops and cracks in the audio stream now and then, but the "out of memory" message came out of the blue; I was editing some midi notes, and all of a sudden, the app froze.
I got that same message in some graphics app too, a long time ago, and there was no way lack of memory was the actual problem.
I am using quite a few VST's (softsynths), but I'm not entirely sure how VST's tax the RAM — I thought that was mainly a sampler thing, and that softsynths that aren't sample based depended more on processing power?
Anyway, not a huge deal, but it kind of bugs me that every time I'm ready to declare Live bug free, something like this happens. I just have to remember to hit ctrl+s more often.
