-26 mono tracks of loops
-5 minute piece of music
-No plugins
-Trying to export separate tracks (so mix person can load them into his protools environment)
-Rendering each track to mono takes 14 minutes each (do the math...14 minutes x 26...!!)
-More than half the rendering time the process bar at the bottom is stuck on 37%. Whips through the remaining 63% as expected.
-Live is the only app open. CPU pegged from 95% to 100% for entire rendering process. Activity monitor indicates LIVE is using 308MB Ram (out of available 768MB).
-I just updated from Live 4.03 to Live 4.1.4 in an attempt to remedy the situation. Same deal.
-Also tried running the file off a 7200RPM external firewire drive to see if that would improve things. Nope.
PLEASE, does anyone have any ideas??? I'm open to anything.
I have to export an entire albums worth of material. At this rate it will take one day per song.
Thanks!
