Yo,
Im using cubase 6 through a firewire audio interface/mixer - on an imac 27" - 8gb ram.
Working on a project with 5 Audio tracks and 4 Vst instrument tracks (3 halion orchestra, 1 superior drummer.)
Each audio track has maybe 3 VST effects. eq, compression, reverb (on vocals) and Guitar Rig on 2 guitar tracks. like this everything is working fine.
I just tried duplicating the 2 guitar tracks to experiment with panning and effects etc. each of the guitar tracks has guitar rig and an eq plugin - 1 track is a solo, one track is rythem wit distortion. when I duplicated the rythem guitar track playback goes choppy and the performance monitor also goes mental...
With the duplicated tracks - I now have 7 Audio tracks and 4 midi. surely my comp should be able to handle this?
Any ideas why this is happening? Should I be making my vst effects as in insert so Im only running one instance of them? or should it be ok to have the effects on each track?
all my other projects are fine, but I havent used as many vst instruments, probably the same amount of vst effects tho... surely my system should be able to handle this?
thanks for input anyone has. if you need more info lemme know.
