Hello,
I apologize in advance for my limited knowledge; therefore I have many questions.
I have a MacBook Pro Mid 2012 operating High Sierra. It has a 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7 with 8 GB RAM.
While mixing my last couple sessions, I get the system overload message very frequently. I am guessing this is because of the 96k sample rate and plugins I use. Anyways, I changed the I/O Buffer Size to 1024 and made the Process Buffer Range Large, and that helps, but I still get the message often. Are there other tips or tricks I can use to not overload the system? Also, I've read something to the effect of users moving their sessions off of their hard drives. Is this as simple as saving sessions on an external HD, and then opening and working on them from this external drive?
Getting the system overload message so often made me think I should purchase a new computer, but in researching this, I discovered maybe I should try adding RAM to my current computer, or swapping out the Startup Disk for an SSD.
If anyone has any insight or advice into modifying my computer vs. purchasing a new one I would really appreciate hearing from you. And if you think I should purchase a new one, I already have questions regarding what specs I should purchase.
Thank you.
