System:
P4 1.6 Gig
512 Memory
60 Gig HD
Echo Layla 24
Various Preamps, Compressors, EQs, etc...
Sonar 2 running on Windoze XP.
Here's the problem I'm having.
Everything seems to be running rather smoothly, except for the fact that I'm eating up a lot of processor power.
I can get about 5 tracks going at once and when I start adding effects to them, the cpu seems to bog down and the music stops. I have played with the buffering and what not, but I can't seem to get it to improve?
Any suggestions? Is it a setting? Is it the Computer? Is it the Layla? Is it the hard drive?
I've thought about adding a second hard drive to record onto (right now, I'm just recording onto another partition) but I wasn't sure that that would really help since it seems the CPU is what is causing the drop out.
