'Ello chaps!
This is my first post on the forum but looks like there is a lot of very good information here so will certainly be sticking around!
I just had a little question for you tech genies out there. I am running Logic Pro on my Mac Book Pro (2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 3GB 667MHz DDR2 RAM, and a couple of speedy external Hard Drives.) Everything runs smoothly with no latency or lag issues until I start to layer up my project with a fair amount of reverb channels, vst soft synths etc. Basically, once the CPU hits a certain load I begin to get out of synch issues, crackling, lag, the lot.
So I was wondering if there is any way to combat this without having to dish out for a whole new computer with a bit more of a punch. I have a vague memory of a producer friend of mine saying I need to grab myself an external soundcard. Is it possible for some of the audio processing to happen outside the box to take a bit of the workload off my laptop's CPU?
Any advice or knowledge in this area would be greatly appreciated and permanently absorbed!
