hey guys, didnt know whether to put this here or in the recording techniques section

im recording at home thru a firepod into my computer. the recording is going great but my computer just cant keep up.. using 5 mics for drum track, 3 of which get compression and reverb and then the guitars also get compression and reverb and my computer cant keep up when all the tracks are being processed in real time and my computer just freezes.

is it wrong to actually apply these plugins to the track once im happy with how they sound? so that the processing is done immediately and i free up some processing power for the other tracks im recording?

also what is the best order i should apply the plugins in? basically all im applying is compression but that means it goes compression -> then EQ -> then reverb rather than sending the EQ into the compressor

is this ok? is it common practice?
 
Please don't post the same question in more than one forum :). See the answers in the Recording Techniques forum.
