Thanks for the responses, guys. I'll keep the freeze function in mind. I guess I'm scared of it since there's no more adjusting the effect after that. Thanks for that link, MetalDave...I'm sure I'll find something on there that will help me out. I'm slightly computer developmentally delayed
The weird thing the other day was that when I stopped playback my CPU meter stayed at 40%. Why would it do that? When I shut down Cubase it went down to 5% or whatever. Do plugins still eat up CPU even when your track is not playing?
Oh yeah, I neglected to mention I'm also using up to 5 instances of Drumagog as well. Oops.
