Track Counts

[Lasse Lammert]

wow, I used to run 130 tracks incl plugins (loads of them!) in Cubase on my 2Ghz dual.
as everyone else said...check your system, something is wrong there

until you can look into your problem. you may want to start mixing down some of those individual tracks to eliminate some heavy plugins.

the key here is to mix down the original track before you've tinkered with it at all as well.
that way if you ever need to go back (which you can't do after you've mixed down a track and reinserted it), you can just go back to the original.

saves TONS of processing power.

every now and then I'll end up with a mix that will completely rape my computer for no good reason. it'll go from 40% processing power to major slug after adding 2 basic EQ plugs.
makes me mental when that happens. so I know what you're going through.

This is what I ended up doing, made a drum stem and guitar stem and then just dealt with vocals.

I've been considering reinstalling everything and starting from scratch but I really don't want to sit through the days of drum sample installation. I guess I may have to to make sure I have no funny business going on.

Thanks everybody for your help. I guess I'll stick to porn on my iMac for now, dual display penetration was too good to be true.

yeah, you seriously shouldnt be having any issues. i have less ram than you, am using 9.1.2 (not noticing any negative performance issues mind). good luck in finding out whats doing it.

Now Reaper needs to break; that'll shut those smug cunts up for 5 minutes.

It'll happen. Maybe. Probably not with all the public beta testing.......and if it did, it'd be fixed with a patch in a day or so!
*extra smug moment*
