I count on me
A RAM horsepower question for the PC experts.....
PC Setup
Dell P4 2.8 processor
512 RAM
Internal drive 60 gig
External drive via firewire 160 gig
Delta 2496 soundcard
Adobe Audition 1.5
I defrag both drives at least 1X per week. PC is optimized for audio to the best of my knowledge/ability....DMA enabled on both drives, optimized for background processes, start-up initiates system tray only, etc....
I've recently started to experience skipping/hanging during playback. The complexity of my mixes has increased, usually 20 - 30 tracks. Probably 50% of the tracks have at least one effect.
Is 512 RAM enough? I know I need to play around with the buffers some more, but past efforts with that have not yielded any better results. Any other suggestions.
Advice would be appreciated.
