![]() ![]() Should I get more? I think my processor is running at 3.19GHz. The CPU meter also hits 100 percent every time it starts stuttering. It takes up a lot of space on my hard drive (3GB) and it's now come to the point where, if I add more than, say, six channels of it into FL Studio, the whole piece stutters so much that I can't play it for more than three seconds. The Problem: "I'm having big problems ever since I bought Spectrasonics' Atmosphere to plug into my Fruity Loops Studio software. To help, I decided to take some typical problems reported by SOS Forum members, explain their most likely cause and point out the best solution, as well as offering temporary workarounds for those who can't afford to upgrade at the moment or have a project that urgently needs to be finished. However, many musicians face the opposite dilemma: they have a PC that has problems running some songs and are not sure whether they need to upgrade their soundcard, install more RAM, buy a faster processor or get a larger, faster drive to resolve them.Īs you can see from the SOS Forum survey results in the box on page 70, there's no such thing as a typical song, so if you're in the situation described above you need to do a little detective work to find out what's causing the problems in your particular case. In my PC Musician feature of SOS June 2003, I explained how the various PC resources (CPU, RAM and hard drive) are used up by audio tracks, soft synths, soft samplers and so on, to help PC users decide on the spec that would meet their needs when buying or building a new model. But how do you know which is to blame, and do you have to upgrade or can you work around the problem? There are many factors that can cause your PC to struggle when playing back your songs – including RAM, your hard drive, your CPU and your system settings. With mixing it's not a problem at all, can easily mix 30 different audio tracks and some midi as well, but recording 1 single guitar is a problem.You don't need to make 'guesstimates' about how much of your system RAM is being used in total by all your currently running applications - just use a freeware utility such as Cacheman, shown here. It's basically yoyo-ing between 5% and 100% with all the other cores being well below 6% Only in the program's system-meter/viewer it shows an overload. Could that be it? I can upload a video to youtube soon and link it, so you can see what's happening. I saw someone having the same problem, who fixed it with flipping a small switch in the SATA thing in the computer itself. ![]() It's the strongest computer I've ever had and I'm really pissed it doesn't work as it's supposed to. For a long time I thought it was my interface, but I think it's my computer (which I bought on my audio engineering teacher's recommendation). Now and then it clips/gets a system overload (only in the program), leaving the recorded track useless, due to the clipping When I try to record my guitar through my interface (Tascam US16x08) I get signal in the program (ProTools), but every ![]() Business PCs, Workstations and Point of Sale Systems.Printer Wireless, Networking & Internet.DesignJet, Large Format Printers & Digital Press. ![]() Printing Errors or Lights & Stuck Print Jobs.Notebook Hardware and Upgrade Questions. ![]()
