your pc is absolutely fine for music production. you will just have to get used to bouncing your synths to audio. cubase was running on pc's of your spec ages ago, sequencing audio to a professional degree. im sure 16 tracks of audio is an easy task for your pc.

it takes a little more time, but it will lengthen the life of your pc till you can afford a new one.

"Bounce your synths to audio" - You know this is something i never thought of I've got me kick and all percussion bounced to audio i can't believe i didn't think to do the same with the synths... i guess that's about the end of that then.. Thanks!

Synth1 is amazingly light on the CPU. And it has BOTH a supersaw and unison (Which I think no other VSTi has). I love that synth.

Originally posted by Liamh What are your top tips for soft synths that don't completely destroy any processing power my laptop already doesn't have? The problem i've got is for now i have a toshiba satelite laptop with a 1.2 GHZ processor, 40GB HD and 256mb ram so not particularly ideal but i'm stuck with it so i need to make the best of what i have... It's getting particularly annoying at the moment as i have battery, imposcar and audiorealism bassline running with sonalksis filter and the cubase built in delay (can't remember what it's called) but my tune won't play without stuttering and skipping then eventually cubase loses all interest and crashes..

???????????????????????????????????????

i use a p2 300 with 192 megs of RAM. stop complaining. If you have trouble with your cpu, try exporting your melodies into wav and then import them back in.

V-Statin, and I think Discovery and Pro-53 have unison. SuperWave has a supersaw.
