I only have a measely 3GB ram. But for what I do it suffices. But I am wondering. What is the biggest session ever and it's use of RAM?

Please share your experience.

Thanks,

one of my last projects there i rendered the files 64 bit float, must of been something like 4 1/2 gb of files, and i only have 4gb ram, ass must of been running on paging files lol, still got it mixed !!!

8 GB... I think even more...
 
Normal 3-6 GB

3.92gb cpu 48%(at times 55%)no freezing ... it was a pretty big project for me that is.

50 something tracks
2 instances of SuperiorDrummer 1 for percussion
2 orchestra libraries
4 guitar tracks(processed)
2 bass tracks 1 clean 1 dirty
5 vocals and background

i only do rough mixes of my work and i only know how to use 3 or 4 plugins. i had 1 UAD card..
mostly the pultec eq, Realverb, and LA-2A, with Ozone on the master bus..

Believe it or not, you actually _can_ get  a lot done even with only 3 to 4GB of ram under 32-bit. This is mainly because most large sampling synth stream from disc rather than load everything into memory. If you add UAD effects to that, you can save a lot of CPU power. All this can allow you to work on some pretty large projects.
