cool edit real time effects, buffer increase?

[meatballstomach]

im trying to apply real time effects to my mix. tracks are recorded at 24 bit 96k. my computer has 1gb of ram and a pentium 4 2.4ghz processeor, and a 140gb harddrive. I am using an echo gina as my soundcard.

once i get past like 2 real time effects everything starts to skip and freeze up. My computer clearly has enough power.

Can cool edit not handle running all these things at once.

do i need to raise my buffers? i tried this and nothing works. for this kind of setup, what should i have them set as?

any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

dam . . .I've got a much slower system and mine can run as many real time effects as I like (I've never had use for more than like . . .6), so it can't be a problem with cep . . . hows your system setup? is it cluttered with other programs not used for music production? I dunno, seems real strange to me . . .

have other program on computer, but none are running when cool edit is. It really dosnt make since to me. what do you have your buffers set at? I tried to change mine, but now it made things worse. Now when im in the edit window and i preview in effect it will take even longer for me to hear it, or if i solo a track in mixing window it will take longer for it to actually solo
