what is best ?
keeping the midi+vst as long as you can in the process of writing and mixing ?
Or bouncing it all to audio like on the track from the screenshot ?
Is there a sound quality or sync precision issue here or is it just for the sake of saving cpu power ?
and another question fo colin ...does it take like a raid system or scsi hard disk to have so many audio tracks running ? can SATA do it ?
wow that's a lot of questions ... thxs for help |

I use a little blue thing. Despite owning the real box.
The speed difference is huge. |

i think the only issue when bouncing midi channels is that you loose the possibility to edit the sound you've done, (sequence and synthesis), but nothing else, exporting in 24 bits will keep the same quality and of course the sync'ing.

yeah, probably for this ammount of audio waves playing and sync'ing at the same time u'll need a raid0 configuration (or if you've got the budget a scsi configuration, u160/u320). specially i notice a really big cpu need when cutting and editing little waves, for ex, when you chop a wave into little pieces ....
hope it helped a little bit at least

Thanks zIP^ for answering the question about my studio system so authoritatively.
However...
No RAID system. My HDD is a 60GB Seagate Barracuda - EIDE. AMD XP3200+ CPU, 1GB Geil RAM. Having this many tracks in a project is hard on memory but disk bandwidth only comes into play if you want to play audio on all of them at once! On this project the disk meter works quite hard but doesn't max out at all. I'd love to run everything live but unfortunately my CPU isn't up to it, and besides, bouncing to audio opens up certain creative possibilities.

did it bothered u Colin?
im sorry if I did, but anyone can answer that, =)
my case:
i have a wd raptor 74gb (not in raid0, just one)... ableton live lights the 'd' (disk overload) button very quickly when there is a lot less audio than what you have there. but specially when choppin into really small pieces, anyway, i work very diferently, i keep everything in midi as long as i can ... =) my tracks have a average of 20/30 midi and 20/30 audio tracks.

wow you have the same specs as me... i thought everyone here got a monster pc lol. i don't like working with audio because of automatations are so essential in psy and also because it's much more easy to midi drums than to have it in audio...
... in my humble opinion.
but yeah impressive setup... that would be too much confusing for me. |
