cpu drainage problem....

Post by msam »

ok,
from my experience with vst integrated software sequencers like fruity loops, ableton, etc...I find that my cpu meter is constantly being bogged down...you know, I get clicks, pops and other strange noises from using too much vsti or audio recordings...

I'm running a:
Intel Pentium M processor 1.86GHz
512 MB of RAM
Realtek AC97 Audio
Directx 9.0c

hmmm...I think I have a pretty decent/ok setup (computer)...but why does my cpu meter drain so fast?

can anyone suggest me a possible solution or recommend me some sort of hardware to deal with cpu drainage? will an audio interface or mixer do the trick?
thanks

Fantomized section is not the place for these arguments...BTW...you need 1GBRam and a better sound card I suppose. Anyway 1.8GHz isn't a good CPU for A LOT of VST.
Tip: Don't use too much the VST technology...go on Hardware stuff...

it's all about what vst you use, some like a little bass synth could take up 5% of your cpu, where as one reverb unit could take 80%. so what are you using? in more detail.
