man, same here. i hate it. are u a Virgo by any chance?  That is something that really irritates me and even stops me from making cool music. we need to overcome that.
I remember when I had my P4 back in the day I could load it fully when like 60-70% of the track was done. Then Core2Duo were introduced, I bought that at once for plenty of $ and for some time it was sufficient. But now same shit again - I can barely do 75% of the track when it starts crackling like hell. Keeping in mind that I have 2 uad cards and use maximum latency (~30 ms) I go mad about it.
Ok later this year I will probably upgrade to some posh i7 but now Diva comes into play.
WHEN IT IS GOING TO BE OVER, may I kindly ask.

Just don't have VST running on all those guys... render to audio and you'll be fine.
I keep my core2duo meter not so high even with 100+ channels. |

50-70 usually.
I used to have a crazy amount of sends but now I almost never use sends - now I just use lots of Audio Effect racks instead and my projects are *much* cleaner and easier to manage.
Having a shitload of sends all with automation on them is such a hassle - especially when you want to bounce down sections and work in audio. Racks FTW.

Will, so u put a new reverberation unit on each audio channel where you want it? I mean isnt that much more hassle than setting up 2-3 verb in the beginning and sending there everything.

I feel like putting individual verbs maybe a little better, you can then toss an EQ on the reverb out put for each sound instead of as a whole. honestly i usually bounce my thing with revrb anyway becuase playing with the tails is really fun, adds lots to the track too. this is probably why i end up with ~100 tracks each time. but some only have like 10 audio clips in them or something. I usually use groups to organize everything so i can navegate easily.
its really a matter of each persons way of doing it.. no right answer  only DAW fun
@Will - absolutely - ableton is worth it just for the audio FX rack. and the resample mapping possiblity. sooo nice --

Yeah I just put a new reverb on the channel, set it to 100%, group it into a rack, add a new chain then tweak the reverb chain's volume to taste.
I'm not going to say it's faster or sounds better but it noticeably cleans up my projects and I think it focuses my workflow because I know that everything going on with that track is *in* that track
I don't have to go hunting elsewhere, and I don't have to worry about automating one parameter in the send and having it effect multiple elements - and if I want to freeze a section and get all of the sound + FX I don't have a huge routing hassle on my hands.
It is possible that I lose a bit of mix clarity doing it this way as my elements don't share a common space, but I haven't noticed my mixes coming out particularly dry or wonky in terms of different spaces going on.
I really don't miss opening up a project and seeing that it has 10 send channels all with automation

a finished track of yours has?

Synths(Kick+Bass+Leads+Pads) - 10 Channels
Samples(FX, Percussion) - 10 Channels
Sometimes gets to 30 but not much more than that. I usually try to combine similar sounds in the same track, like all the sweeps go into this channel, all the speech into this one, etc.

I'm getting crazy each time, when in it & scrolling down to orientate what's going on for symetry etc , especialy when trying to get an image with lots of small bounced fx.I wish I'd have a sort of beamer and the screen is a wall^^
