VST plugins (Native Instruments) popping and crackling

Sometimes my plugins crackle and pop. I've messed with multicore processing on and off, and buffer size. Doesn't seem to help. Any suggestions? (Live 6)

What CPU% are you running at? If you're into the 70%+ range then it's not uncommon (for my setup anyway).

Which NI plugins.

What is your computer set up and specs?

I run FM8, Massive and B4II with no problems on Live 6 *and now Live 7*

Massive can be a big resource hog, turn that to ECO mode while you are tracking, and just before final mixdown/render switch it up to HI. ECO mode is about 60% less CPU intensive.

FM8 and B4II are both just fine. I also demoed Absynth 4, that worked fine too.
