I have a pretty serious problem with Live 4. The problem is that i can only use around four VSTi plugins at the same time before the computer starts lagging. The Plugins I´m using are: Albino 2 and V-Station.
I´m running Live 4 on a Laptop with P4 1,7 Ghz, 256 MB DDR-RAM,
M-Audio Ozone Soundcard/Midi-Controller.
Can someone figure out a way to help me, or do I have to buy a more powerful PC - maybe more memory might solve the question?
will there be a freeze function avaliable for Live 4?

Currentyly there is no freeze function. I really don't see an immediate need for it. Really all that the freeze functions on other DAW software works by rendering the part to an audio file. Instead of having to do a bounce or mix down of the part you select the freeze function and the process of soloing the track, rendering the part and disabling the vsti is all done in with one function/command.
In Live there are two ways to go about this. One, which I have been doing with great success and flexibility is to create a audio track, select resampling as the input, solo the vsti/midi track to be rendered/resampled and then arm the audio track and click on an empty clip slot to record the piece as a audio clip. You can then just turn off the vsti and deselect the monitor on that vsti's midi track to release cpu power. Then move on to the next piece.
The other way to do it would be to solo the track and select render from the file menu this will render the selected track within the loop selection in the arrangement.
The main reason I use the first way is that I can create several clips with the desired changes in the midi and move on to the next track and do the same. It sounds like a lot of steps but once you get it down it goes very quick and is easy to manage.
As you see in my sig. I'm not running a fast computer by todays standards yet with resampling I'm able to quickly create the needed clips/parts and clear up cpu as I go. I end up with all audio clips in the end and then delete the midi tracks and save as a new Live Set so that I am not confused by the now unused midi/vsti's but can go back to the original Set to make any changes to midi clips and just import the audio into the new Set.
