Ok, so we are finishing up our EP today for my band, and it's sounding really great. But all of a sudden we seem to be running out of resources.
Even with every track frozen, we are still hitting between 40 and 50% CPU usage on a 2.2 GHz Athlon.
Even more interesting is that only about 10 of the tracks are played the entire time. The rest are simply leads or backgrounds or acoustic guitar. So it's kinda odd that they'd be killing the CPU as well if they aren't even touched during the majority of the CD.
Without bouncing tracks, are there any tips for getting more speed from Sonar? (And my dayjob is being a computer tech, so I know all about making Windows as effecient as possible)
I'm looking mainly for Sonar tricks. Hopefully Sonar 5 will help us out as we are using so many tracks because we need different effects on different parts, even if it's only a 20 second section. So with effects within clips, this would be about a 15 track operation.
Thanks again, you guys are always helpful!!!
