Im having serious problems when trying to make tunes.
I have a 3.2Ghz Pentium 4 processor and have just doubled my memory to 1GB RAM but I am still having serious slow down problems when I use certain VST's. Anyone have an ideas as to how/if I can sort it?
Cheers.

Don´t use reverb or other heavy effects on every channel, bus them! Change vst intsrumet to something more cpu friendly, you can create the same sound with differn´t synths!

My friend has the same problem, he gets insane with vst's (reverb, flanger, parametric eq, delay, wah, all on the same channel of about 5 different samples). Just ease up and make sacrifices, or find acceptable alternatives. Another problem is you might need to increase the cpu buffer speed, I found that can be a problem that a lot of people overlook

I have put the buffer in audio settings (FL Studio) right up I only turn it down if I'm playing something in on my midi controller as it seems to cause a delay. I don't use unnecessary effects (not anymore anyway). The main problem is with a couple of the superwave synths, as soon as I put just one in, things start to get bad but if I use say Vanguard or Superwave Trance then I don't really get any problems at all? Could it be incompatibility problems of some sort or are they just really bad CPU eaters?
I would just use a different plugin but I cant seem to get decent pads or 303's out of any of the others :( I've got V station coming in the post maybe that will help.
Anyways, thanks for the help guys :)

If your happy with something and you don't have the CPU for it, render a section as audio and then play it as audio in a single track you don't have the CPU processing the same bits over again and you have more CPU to play with of the other parts of the track.

Yeah, I made a breakdown in a different project>rendered to wav and resampled into the original track and ppl actually thought the quality of that bit was much better than the rest of the track when rendered to mp3.

Yeah will definitely give this a try. Only problem is once you've taken it to audio and got rid of it it what happens if you decide your not happy?
