You are probably starting to tax the resources of your system.

When this happens, you can try raising your latency setting to see if that helps.

Another approach might be to mixdown some of the tracks to a single track, and archive the original tracks.

Also, if you don't already have a separate dedicated hard drive for your audio, that could help as well.

Hey Jamal, What is your computer system. I'm running a P3 800 with 512 ram. I've had 20 or more audio tracks running with no problem. But once you start adding real time affects it really starts working the cpu out. What does it say in the bottom right hand corner for resources? Are you using Sonar?

i dont have a pentium. And im using pa9

i dont have a pentium

So is it an AMD or an old 486? I didn't even think PA9 would run on a 486.

What soundcard are you using?

[Jamal]

i have a celeron and a m audio 24/96 sound card

[Jamal]

is it because i only have 192 ram?
