While trying to mix a project down to a stereo wave file, at 61% rendered, I got an error ("An exception has occurred"). The details of the error were:

I don't have that many plug ins running, and there are only 13 tracks, and the project's only using 35/256 Megs! I have a P3 800 MHz. What's going on?

This project has to be ready soon!

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help in any way

I haven't installed my 3.0 upgade yet, so I can't tell you what your problem is exactly.

If you have to get your project completed "yesterday", then you could do this....

Mixdown each track individually.

Send each WAV. track to another program, i.e. Vegas Audio 2.0 or Cakewalk 9.

Then, you could try to mix them down in that program.

?Just an idea?.....

spin

Thanks Spinsterwun. I've been struggling with it and making very slow progress on the project. I tried reverting to an older version of the project, which was saved under a different file name. I thought I had it beat, but then just recently it started crashing again. I can't tell if the problems are with a particular loop, or with the file, or what :-(

Anyway, I'll keep your suggestion in mind. Thanks. Hopefully Sonic Foundry will reply to my email soon, but I'm not holding my breath. I'm just praying it's a specific file issue, and not a problem with the computer or the program.

Thanks again,
