So, we'd networked my shiny new laptop *(1.8GHz, 512meg Ram - nothing special) to the main studio computer and transfered a bundle of Cubase Projects over for me to work on at home. I've downloaded a whole load of VSTis and FX recently, and so I ended up - on the particular song in question - running 28 audio tracks, a couple of instances of Autotune, two VSTis, six (!) instances of Drumagog, various delays, compressors and filters etc and 2 instances of SIR - a convolving reverb. My disk activity meter in the VST performance window was showing 60-80% and weird things were starting to happen.
So I left the machine to defrag overnight, sparked it up again this morning, and disk usage was registering at 0%. No glitches, nothing.
As I say - a lesson learned. Keep yer pooter clean'n'tidy!
