How can I improve my system to be able to handle more tracks? What components should I buy (RAM, Hard Disks, CPUs)?
Adding RAM above say 32/64 Mb won’t help a lot since the program loads the wave files directly from the hard disk, and as soon as the number of tracks grows it would be unlikely that you could have enough RAM so that the system would be able to cache all the files. The things to look for are fast hard disks (UltraDMA or possibly SCSI) and a fast CPU. Regarding to the CPU brand, Intel processors should be preferred because their floating point performances are considerably better than that of their competitors, and the program uses a lot of floating point math. The difference becomes particularly noticeable when applying realtime effects. 2.g – Q: When using two soundcards, the lag value keeps on growing and the resulting tracks are sligthly out of synch. A: Using multiple soundcards, one for recording and one for reproduction or for recording more than one track at a time, will be possible some pitch-shifting effects due to non perfectly matched sampling frequencies of the soundcards.
