Agree with everything said here. That cledx.exe file is a software emulated dongle that emulates the security key

Yeah, that's what I figured. Not something highly looked upon here. It does explain a few things though. A person who is prone to using p2p software will have more problems than a person who pays for their software.

My nuendo is legit i bought it with my university loan before we go on to that. I ain't good with computers to understand these p2p programs.
The cledx i aint sure what that is or what it is for though it has been on my pc since I have had a CD of plugins that I installed from a friend of mine so I have not wanted to touch it. I presumed its for one of the plugins. He did mention to let it install so it works with my sound card.

Back to subject at hand to answer some quick Qs and add some responses:

BrianaW - having that few amount of proccesses only suggests that you are not on Vista, vista is entirely different amount of procceses the lowest i have seen processes count wise on Vista (on a fresh install with no extra programs installed at all except the factory default) was about 31 processes. And Greener mentioned they had 57 processes using vista on a laptop which leads to suggest im in the normal range.

Yes xp is better option as it uses less ram, but I aint got the cash to buy xp as with university i live on the edge of money, with a special interest in one of the most expensive hobbies, music recording lol (im trying to get professional so bog standard sound cards etc, never bodes well with me)!

I have 2 physical hard drives 500 gig each and one 80 gig external for backup of music projects but I don't save to that hard drive I back up usually every friday evening. What svchost is I have no idea, nor do I know why there is how ever many there are. So I shall ask on a vista forum for that particular one.
Mind you looking at BrianaW, you have more than one svchost anyway and if thats XP then vista is probably using more than 2 which would explain its RAM usage being higher for a start. But yes seven does seem over kill but i shall let you know on that one.

Nuendo priority = High, how ever many things have been set to low to counter balance. I will put it to normal for a while to see a difference.

Right now I'm on Ubuntu. 20.7% of 1.5GB in use.
But I don't have a working soundcard for linux so I use XP for audio. I think it sits around 40 processes.

If I ever get into serious audio, I'm going to try staying with linux and using Ardour.

Edit: on XP now. My mistake: at bootup it would appear to be 27 processes and less than 250MB used. I think 40 was at the last time I formatted.

Nuendo 3 is not Vista optimized, so will run poorly but Nuendo 4, like Cubase 4.1 is supposedly fine with Vista. Assuming we are running legit versions and not dongle emulated cracks. They don't run great even under XP.

This is just factual, not a judgement on the OP b4 anyone misunderstands. But on the same subject, the plugins you mentioned, if you have stuff like the Korg Legacy plugins, Sampletank, Miroslav Philharmonik or others that are shall we say, reverse engineered trial versions, the original plugins used the same Synchrosoft dongle as Cubase/Nuendo, which is why an emulator would be needed. So you should investigate your plugin collection from your friend to ensure it's legitamacy.

Well I wasn't using any plugins for the recording so would they sitll have a effect when not in use? Other than EZdrummer for the drums and a free Hammond B4 plugin effect which was freeware on a site.

And yeh that is a good point with vista and incompatibilites. hmm, ill go on their forums there might be update or patch perhaps for earlier versions of Nuendo.

FWIW:
svchost is a manager of services that run on your computer. Services are things like Print Spooler, Auto Updates, things for networking etc. They run multiple services each and having 5 is normal. Many more than that, or if it's not found in (XP) \Windows\system32\ then you have a virus.

Thankyou for the infomation on that! Was still waiting for a reply on the vista forum about it.
Well anyway, i think its due to Nuendo's compatibilty issue with vista which is a good point made, so am waiting a reply on the nuendo forums about it now.

Thanks for your kind help and time everyone! Smile
