On top of that I'm toying with bass samples so there is another 200MB.

I ordered Kontakt 2 last night so when I start adding more instruments with the sampler, I'm going to be really screwed!?

It's quite clear I'll have to commit to the programming of the drums and render them down to .wav files before I can get serious with my sampler.? Luckily, Cubase SX3 has the "freeze" function which allows you to push a button and it will essentially render that track down (saving possibly GB's or RAM).

Ableton Live has that freeze feature also to save RAM.......I guess I never really got it until now......(light bulb comes on)
