Hey guys - I could really use some help. I've been a Reason user since 3.0 and I LOVE it! It is my DAW of choice. One of the things I appreciate about Reason is how efficient it is. I've spent a ton of money on upgrades and I was pumped for the Rack Extensions. I bought the producers pack and got to work. My problem is I add some of the REs to my tracks and it just blows up my CPU. I'm running it on an Acer laptop running Windows 8.1. I upgrded my RAM to max it out at 12Gb and my chip is an i5 quad 1.75 2.45. (Not a computer guru so I don't know what that means.) I even upgraded my hard drive to an ssd to try to get more speed. I know I don't have a "top of the line" computer, but it is powerful enough and I've never had a problem - even running 40-50 tracks.
I've tried different settings with my audio card, maxing out the buffer, etc... no help... grrrr...
Can somebody who is smarter than me tell me whether I can "optimize my computer" to make it work or if I'm just out of luck with REs until I upgrade my entire rig.
Thanks a million for helping me out!
