Hey DJX.
I actually am planning to run multiple synths with plug in effects,
but I wont test that out till next week. I need to look at the cake
talking tutorial for a lot of those functions, but I guess I'll have
to try to prepare this laptop for music production. My laptop has a
slot for adding 4 gigs or ram. You think that will in hance the
processing power? Just a thought. Also freezing tracks should help me
out though am I not right?
Thanks
