dwardzalaAre your samples stored on the same drive as your projects?
JonDAre either of your hard drives "green" drives? These are not good for DAW use because of the power-saving features.
AdqDo you use freeze? It is hard to make big projects without it, even on powerful CPUs.Anyway I strongly recommend you never use 16 bit, if you are not making final mp3.

JonD I don't mean the actual color of the drive. By "green" I mean eco-friendly (with power-saving features), like your power supply. And you don't need to open the case. If you go to Device Manager - Disk Drives, your HDs will be listed by model. You can then google them to see if they're "green" or not.
