how bout, for example, if i want to do a slow buildup, or use cutoff, or pan, or volume... and this is done with midi.
would it be a better option to do all this with midi, then bounce to audio, or bounce it untouched first, then do all that to the audio?
i'm thinking, what if i have certain velocity values with the midi, but after i bounce it, i think it's too hard, or too loud. should i go back to the midi and change that or apply the changes to audio? |

| ive got to the point that even after bouncing everything down to audio it still stutters and the cpu is maxed out so i cant finish my track. im thinking of solutions, has anyone made a track in two separate project files then joined them at the end for the final mixdown? this seems to be the only option i have left. |

| Tell us more about your project, how many fx you use, what kind of computer you have etc.. |
|
|
| dj_kane |
computers runs very slow.
2.8 ghz processor
512 ram
i have 3 tracks set for my fx and different fx's combined in each one.
ive 8 other audio tracks. one for the intro lead, one for fx sound on the left and one for the right, a pad, main lead, sub lead. then i have my layered bass, high, mid and low.
all the midi tracks are at the bottom of the screen even though they are not being played i think they must be causing something for it to stutter.
my kick and percs are in reason as a rewire so i dont mix them down i leave them as they are. |

Don't know if you've turned all the vst(i) off which you're not using.
Even if they aren't being used at the time they consume some precious CPU cycles.
Don't know if all hosts act like this, but Cubase certainly does as well as Ableton.
And if recall right, Renoise is a bit smarter with all this, but you'll have to ask Storyteller about it.
Same with RAM, but this time even if you turn them off they are actually still loaded into your RAM.
Maybe a solution for you would be to bounce the parts down and import them in an new project.
Sequence all the stuff again.
If you did all well in the midi-project you won't need vst(i) in the audio-project or at least not that many.
Just give it a try.

| Isn't just freezing the midi track effective enough? |

great idea mate. after imprting them to a new track i was also able to use more vst's. strange are sequencers work.
thanks |

ok say ive eq'ed my bass and synths then bounce them down to audio wil i have to eq them again? |
no. if its rendered with fx and eq option.
if u feel u need further eq or fx, do it, but ure trying to save cpu, right? |

You could always write a mix using the Microsoft sound bank, or your soundcard's built in PCM or soundbank, and then once your track has all the basic elements, you apply hardware, and software to your tracks, and effects.
The sucky thing about this method is that it sounds like a horses fart until you apply all the good effects. After like 5 minutes of hearing horse farts it just fatigues your ears like nothing else. |
