Is there really any difference in memory usage between XP and W7? I've always thought any 32 bit system can utilize approximately 3.3 Gb of RAM, not more, not less, be it Vista or XP or W7. At least my XP 32 bit does that.
If your W7 is 64 bit, it can utilize more IF your Home Studio is 64 bit as well. If you only have 4 Gb of RAM, that 0,7 Gb difference doesn't matter.
Exporting is not the solution anyway. It's for exporting projects and tracks to wav or whatever. Allthough, selecting "Tracks" as the export source you get each track as a separate wav-file, but bringing them back to SONAR one by one then takes much extra work.
To start with, I don't know if Home Studio has "Per Project Audio Folders" feature. The following works best when that is selected.
Do just like you begun with, then either:
- delete everything except for the one desired song and save under a new name in a new folder with "copy audio" option selected,
- or simply copy the tracks/song and paste them in a new project.
Then you need to do the same saving under new name in a new folder.
Your comment on memory restraints puzzles me a little. In SONAR, if you select and copy, say, all the tracks for one song in your project, the copied data does not include all the actual wav-files, hundreds of megabytes of data, but the song structure and the links to the audio folder, where the audio remains untouched untill you save under a new name, in a new location with "Copy audio with project" selected.
SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre - Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc.
The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.
