How to reduce peaking while mixing

[iceman666]

Hey people
Im not sure if peaking is the right term so correct me if im wrong but whenever i try to mix smth using Cubase 5 as my DAW and Line 6 ux2 as my soundcard..As the tracks increases in number i hear a great deal of peaking..The speaker suddenly sounds broken..
Now i heard this happens because of having low RAM..But i mix in my HP Pavillion g6 which has 4gb ram space.So is there any way to reduce peaking..My latency is already very low..

Thanks in advance
Stay SIC

Peaking is when a sound or instrument's level is too loud or over-driven.
What your experiencing sounds like a CPU issue.
If your using an ASIO driver it's probably going crazy cause of a weird buffer configuration.
L6 UX2's aren't the greatest interface when it comes to latency.
The driver is probably just wigging out.
I had the same problem.
I upgraded to a MOTU Track16 and never looked back.
