hi, i have a dell dimension 1100, it has a Intel Celron 2.8GHz CPU with 512mb of ram

I'm running a Sonar with an oldish PC. Now, I'm having troubles with mixing i.e. dropouts while recording a complete mix. Is there an easy way to give a little help for the poor PC? I'm almost done with mixing but few songs just won't go. So I'm not going to upgrade the PC for this purpose. That will happen later. It's the CPU meter that is running red, not the HD.

hey guys I'm using RME FF800 with Cubase sx3. Everything was going fine but now when i playback my audio files my cpu usage goes to about 50-60% which starts to click on the audio. I'm running my latency at 48ms but when i increase it even to 100ms the problem is still there which makes it impossible to track a song .

Hi all

Hello all.

I've just sold a G3 pismo powerbook, 400MHz 320 RAM. He's installed VST 32 but when he opens vst performance the overload light is flashing on and off. There is nothing at all happening, a couple of audio tracks, no plugins nothing. Any ideas on how I can help him rectify this?

Hi - I have been using PT-LE on a fairly powerful PC (Carillon P4 3.4 GHZ, 1GB Ram etc...). I have 2 UAD cards with my system. I find PT to be limiting in ways to numerous to name but my question is this;
