I have always had an issue with this, but recently it's been more pronounced as I just started mixing down a song for a band I recorded recently. I have some compression plugins on kick, and two tracks of vocals, eq on vocals, and reverb on vocals. When I apply a couple CPU intensive fx like this I get pops and clicks during playback and this makes it difficult to continue mixing. I know I can mix each track down with the fx, but I want to be able to refer back to the clean track and then adjust fx settings in real time. I am using bussing where I can in order to cut down on duplication of plugins. What else might I do? I use AA3 by the way.
