yeah, i plan on going desktop anyway. I don't use ozone on tracks, just my master bus. What did you mean by mixing ezdrummer so it isn't using the vsti? Like do drum tracks, and export them to just be an audio track? Then do guitars, and such?

Yeah, that is your best bet for now.

Master bus - ozone shouldn't be loaded when you are mixing - what I mean by mixing easy drummer is the same thing - make your mix (no ozone on any bus) get it al perfect and the way you like it - then export it as a wave - Then open a new project, import the wave - load Ozone and master it.

Or if you want to use Ozone in your mix - do what Richie said - export just the drum track as a wave then load it into he mix as a wave file instead of actually having to use EZdrummer while your mixing.
 
So i think i may have figured out a few things that would help me out alittle bit. I think my problem was that I was running emulations, and impulses in real time, playing to ezdrummer all real time. It was killing my performance. I think that I will give this a try, I will get my drum tracks, mix them down, to wav. Record dry guitar tracks, use the vst's on my guitar bus. Export those as a wav. And so forth with bass and vocals, then import all my tracks back in to master with ozone.
 
That's totally your best bet without throwing money at a new PC. Tons of audio tracks can be done with even a meager comp. :D
 
Nathan,

Have you optimised your OS? Is it XP, Vista Win7 ? You can find optimization settings at the Sweetwater website. Also, have you updated EZDrummer lately? Toontrack says its light on CPU. When I was first running it 32bit on my Cubase 64bit it was a total HOG. Its a bit technical but worth learning whats gonna run best on your system.

Also, 1.6CPU is kinda slow even though its a dual core. Maybe look into getting a Dual core in the high 2's that you can just plug into your Motherboard.

Your system with a Dual Core 2.8G CPU, optimized/setup right should run 2-3 VST's and 16-24 tracks audio (all real time), before its starts to stutter. Maybe worth the work?
 
Yeah, i thought about upgrading my laptop but it is like 5 years old. With alittle patients and saving I could just get a new computer. I have been looking on amazon for a gaming pc for recording lately. I think I may go that way and get a cpu that has a phenom II x6 processor and like 12 gb of ram, with a 7200 rpm hard drive, that should be a pretty excellent upgrade instead of having to put alot of work and money into my laptop.
