Default The Edit Limit

There is a phenomenon that happens to me on audio apps, I call "the edit limit".

I do HEAVY editing, splitting and crossfading across 11 or so drum tracks. Sometimes a measure doesn't go by where I dont nudge and crossfade something. After a certain number of splits and such, the whole deal starts to slow down. It gets "sticky", events are harder to move and start trying to move in discrete chunks. Cursor placement takes a while after you click. Everything you do just takes longer and longer and gets stickier and stickier.

I dont see anyway around this, except to render the tracks out. Is there another solution?

It sounds like any application is going to struggle with that amount of realtime processing. It will be interesting to see if you experience less of this on your new PC.

The only real solution, as Shane said, is to get better players ...

LOL not up to me!

I always say this

I could save up all week back in the day, to buy a cassette from the record store. Buy a guitar mag or two a month, maybe a tab book

I would hear about SO MANY bands in the guitar mags, but of course couldnt possibly afford them all!

cut to today

tabs=FREE

powertabs to actually slow it down and play it for you = FREE

Video lessons= FREE

songs= FREE!!!!

so why do they suck so bad now?

and worse every year

but you know what, even if they WERE as good as they were back in the day, the market will not necessarily tolerate it. So much calls for absolute perfection. I mean people throw auto tune ( in auto mode YUK!!!!!!! ) across things whether they need it or not

I always say " we live in the age of the million dollar demo"
