I have a Ti 15inch Laptop
1GHz PowerPC G4 512K L2 cache 1024MB DDR333 SDRAM 60GB Ultra ATA/100 10.2.6 OS X I have all sounds and songs saved to an external 200Gig hard drive. I'm running Protools off my DigidesignRack 002- I have about 6- 8 tracks and a few Plug ins (say 4 to 6; not much in my book) And I'm running out of CPU. I just don't understand how just a few plug ins can run my CPU down to nothing. I want to know what I can do. Is there any way of getting an external processer to take the load off my computer? If any one can help I'd appreaciate it greatly - this power outage is really holding me back. Thank you! rufus |

bingo Jason... I was thinking of suggesting same thing.... D-verb is not as bad as say RealVerb or some other reverbs but yes it can be taxing on cpu especially if you have more than one instance of it
