Has anyone had this error ‘Your system has run out of application memory’? Im using a 2020 M1 MacBook Pro 13" 500gb ssd 8gb Ram. This error is now constantly appearing every time I try render stems. This error message is also accompanied by an Engine error message ‘there was a problem rendering stems - Ignore / Abort’. If I click ignore, it simply pops up again within a few seconds. I tried to clear all the caches, of which Air Music Technology is sitting on ridiculous amounts, between 50-80gb depending on how many stems are in the list to render. But even after clearing the caches I still can’t seem to get to render more than 10-15 at a time. If anyone has an idea why the problem could be, please chime in. I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
Clearly the stems process is running off with the available RAM and it’s causing a problem. 8gb isn’t great in the first place but probably the process for stems rendering needs optimized or set so it can only use a percentage of what’s left after OS, running programs etc.
In VDJ the stems rendering uses the GPU, where it seems the Engine ones use the CPU.
Thanks for your input. That seems logical, but this only started recently. A few days ago I rendered about 1000 stems no problem. So Im trying to figure out what has changed.
To me. there should be an option for it to process one file at a time, so you can choose how much load is on your PC. I was using 11gb of RAM last night processing one folder of music.
Go into disk utility, and check the purgeable space on you in built HDD. My educated bet (from having this happen multiple times to me) is that you have no free space left, and therefore no possible virtual memory.
Use an app like DaisyDisk to free it up, and away you go again.
That seems to have worked. I have about 180gb free on the internal ssd. I purged & rebooted the mac. It seems to be working properly again. Thanks for the advice.
I agree, also perhaps an option for the render to simply skip any dodgy mp3’s that it runs into. At the moment, it seems like the process comes to a halt if it encounters a problematic mp3, waiting for you to select ignore / abort.
