hey all
i have encountered another problem as i try to make the best of my Live Lite and an old lappy...im recording entire songs, guitar, vocals, piano...everything, im limited to 8 tracks with the lite version and running a 2 gig processor...so im bouncing audio tracks together in real time to make room for more but the more times i do this the slower it gets. on the song im currently working on. its to the point where i have an empty track but there's so much going on that the cpu is overloaded (i assume)...it freezes during recording sometimes for as long as 2 -3 seconds...is there a way to force the program to ignore all tracks but the ones im actually using at this exact moment so the cpu isnt overloaded?? or any other tricks??
thanks!!

Re: cpu overload
I'm assuming you've frozen and flattened everything you can. The best you can do is mute the track and buy yourself a little bit of space to work. If I were you I would just download another free audio editor for when you want to mash everything together. I'm running into this same problem with a particularly CPU hungry plugin. I'm on a brand new MacBook though.

Re: cpu overload
Read the manual for one. That will better explain freezing/flattening. Long and short: freezing disables editing the content of the track, flattening renders it with effects and all to a new audio file. You can do this in arrangement as well as session. To mute the track click on it's highlighted number in session or arrangement.
