Can you upgrade the memory on your system?
Hi how are you? Upgrading the memory would be the first place to start.
If the memory won't do it, then the next place would be the processor but
that may not make that much difference unless you know that the front side
bus speed on your current system is slow. If the front side bus speed is
less than 800mhz and you don't have level 2 cache at 1 or 2 megs, then i'm
not sure what to tell you.
Another rule is that now these computers come with onboard sound and video
cards, make sure that you get better cards for both the sound card as well
as the video card.I hope that this information is helpful.

Hi,
I have a 2.9ghz intel cpu, 1gb ddr ram, and 2 300gb sata hard drives.
At first, I was doing small production like rhythm section plus vocal, and
I had no problem in terms of computer power.
But as I aproach my graduation from a music college, I found myself
involved with bigger projects such as dealing with studio orchestra with
lots of additional tracks (rhythm section, synth, voice, and so on).
My school provide record session at a professional commercial studio with
protool, then I bring the entire session on a hard drive and import on a
sonar project that I've been already working on with some midi tracks to
be added with live recording.
When loading the heavy project, jaws started to become sluggish, and it
caused drop outs especially when inserting some indivisual effects for
certain tracks and bus effects.
I'm using asio with 512 latency. I can't even think about 128 latency. it
won't even start playing. Just drop out before playback!
Anyways, I was thinking about upgrading my system, but I realized there
are quite a few upgrades coming up.
Sonar upgraded to 5.2, and jaws released public beta upgrade, and I
believe windows vista is coming out sometimes later.
Top of that, there's new jaws script for sonar from JSonar Development.
Not to mention, there's sibelius that I need to use to make scores for
orchestra and so on. Sibelius also upgraded.
I'm lost with all those near future stuff. What do you all think I should
do? I'd appreciate all of your oppinion.
thanks,
PS: Does jaws and caketalking run on windows 64 eddition?
