does anybody else find freezing tracks in sx3 to be not so good

is there any other method?

Yee im running reason 3.0 and ableton, rewired with like 12 VSTs and when i get to a part in the track where its more full and using more synths... it s upp n like i have 2 wair for like 2 mins.. im running on a 3800+ AMD athalon and 1 GIG of ram.. if i get more ramm is the problem going to solved??

VST instruments are quite CPU intensive. In your situation, I'd freeze some of the VST tracks.

If it still messes up, try recording the individual reason tracks to their own audio tracks in ableton and then playing them from there. Then disable the track in Reason.

yeaa i was reading somewhere els that freezing the tracks helps, and i tryed what u said and it does work.. but sometimes u hhave 2 edit a little small things.. then ur screwed, u know. but what i wana know is by adding like another 2 gigs of ram can i runn this with out freezing orr do i need a more powerfull proccesor. cuz getting a couple gigs are ram is soo much more worth it then keep going back and forth with WAV files from reason u know.. thanks for the tip tho

Ah yes, the big problem with freezing and exporting wavs. The ram definitely helps though. Before I purchased my laptop, I was producing on this old but ok computer with 1 gig of ram. Oh my god, the production fluidity was terrible.

Haven't had any trouble, yet, with SX3 freezes. On the real CPU hogs it'll take a minute or two to freeze the track, but no big deal.

What's going wrong for you?

If you route stuff properly you can get away with using much less fx, routing is key;)

Thanks for the tips, MERiDiAN5i2!

I like the idea of creating samples out of VSTs... I'll try around with it a little bit.

Freezing sounds interesting, too - I didn't know FL supports freezing . Hopefully the older versions are doing so, too...

Just can't wait getting to my producing pc to try all that :cool:

I've massive CPU problems today... makes me sad to see my good, old producing pc who did so good work all the time is 'leaving' my demands...
MERiDiAN5i2
Good point, Ry! You motivated me to explore routing tricks some more, thanks :D

YW, Cileos :)
