As the title says I'm having major issues with Ableton + Kontakt 7 or 8 (I tried both)

Buffer size: 128
Sample Rate: 48000

Even when using one Kontakt instance I get crackling and popping along with 100+ CPU. Example setup below:

  • Kontakt: Spitfire Symphony Orchestra (testing with Violins and Violas)
    • Using midi channels to play different voicing
  • Ableton 5: midi channels - Kontakt on channel 1, 4 midi tracks with External Instruments to point midi at the different midi channels in the Kontakt Spitfire instance.

Screenshots of activity monitor and Ableton setup here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Yavhr95ttGmGD23u2cU-NMFLIEtDk--g?usp=sharing

I'm posting because I see videos of 50+ channels with Kontakt or other similar VSTs and they run fine so I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Thanks for any and all help!
