Resources

[VSpaceBoy]

I've been running 512mb ram on my dedicated machine for a few years with no problems at all. Now that I'm recording and mixing my full band, I'm running low on resources and Cubase is acting up. I bought a 1g stick yesterday and am now running 1.25g of ram, but that didn't change a thing.

Where does Cubase use resources from if not ram? I already have the pc's services stripped down to nothing etc... what else can I do?

Thanks!

Hi, I've been looking for a guide on cubase.net that I KNOW is on there somewhere, which lists all the tweaks for a well-functioning Cubase on the PC. Can't find the bugger, it used to be a sticky but seems to have disappeared.

In the absence of that, this might be of some use to you:

Check your HD for enough space and defrag it. [Also check if it's in Ultra DMA mode, it probably is, but have a look anyway]. Record without any plugins. Turn antivirus off.

I may be off base here, but in your first post are you saying that you have a 1gb stick and a 512mb stick in there at the same time? If so (and somebody please correct me if I'm wrong), I think that may have something to do with why your machine is not showing any signs of improvement. I always thought (again, please correct...) that any extra sticks of RAM always had to be matched pairs or they wouldn't run correctly and perhaps could even make the system crash...

I had 512, then took out a 256 and put back in a 1 gig. So now have 1.25g.

and yes, you can mismatch ram. Up until around the mid-late ninties you had to keep ram stick matched, but not these days.

Thanks for you post though.
