I wanted to ask how you guys deal with this - I mix on a laptop with 2GB RAM, a typical song has 25 WAV file tracks. When adding compression and EQ to the tracks, the system can start to slow up and prevent me from having compression on some of the tracks. For instance, I want a certain kick setting and a certain snare setting. Is it viable, or even normal practice to 'write' those effects to track or will that affect the way the compressor sounds on those tracks as opposed to running it as a live plug-in etc. I'm thinking of ways to best use memory with so many tracks running. I know the simple answer is to upgrade the PC which is going to happen later this year hopefully, but I was just curious. Cheers
