Firstly, when a project takes ages to load the hard drive light pulses once or twice every few seconds.

Those SAME projects when they load properly the hard drive light ...

My tracks are not even that complicated.

I sit here replying to this thread while waiting on the loading of a Live Set... It's been 2 minutes so far.

My Lives sets do get fairly weighty when it comes to messyness, my friend and I 'jam' a lot and ditch a lot of material that stays in the project ...

Hi folks, I'm fairly new to music production on PC, so please bear with me.

I downloaded my first 'pack' today, and it set me up for coming here to ask a few questions pertaining to their use.
