Play speed is too slow - Adobe Audition cs6

[Guest]

Hello! My name is Julio.

I have Adobe Audition cs6 installed in my  MacBookPro  (I use Windows, pro i5, 4GB Ram...). I bought the audio interface Steinberg UR22.  I've been working with multitracks but I have a problem that is driving me crazyyyy!!! I'm using 10 tracks to make a song! I'm just using 1 or 2 external plugins (for the effects) for each track! For the first 7 tracks there is no problem when I play the sequence... but when I apply 1 or 2 simple plugins or effects to the rest of tracks and I press "play" to listen to the mix... Oh my goddddd... the playing is too slowww and stops sometimes... I hear noise like this "kashhh kashhh ksshhhhhhhhhhhhhhrrrrrrrrrr... "! I already tried everything... I cleaned my pc, I expanded the RAM to 6GB, defragmented the hard disk... I tried all the settings of the audio and recording options... I have set the audio interface in all the ways...!! I even tried the same in the new PC of my father (Dell) but is the same! I even stopped all the services of the pc, stop the firewall... Everythinggggg but the problem persists!!! Help me pleaseeee! Thanks a lotttt! Sorry for my english... it's my second language and not so good! xD

Try 'freezing' (its actually called 'pre-render' and it is the little flash symbol on the track in the mixer channel strip) some of the tracks - it is sort of like a temporary 'render' so that the PC doesn't have to do all the work needed to apply the fx to each track

Hello! Thanks for your help! I'll try this later when I get to work and let you know if it works! xDxDxD

What effects are you applying to the tracks when the problems start? Some of Audition's effects take a lot of processing power and are not ideal for applying when playing in real time.

Hello Ryclark! I'm using a plugin called "Gravel 86", the effect of studio reverb that is in the AA and guitar rig for just one guitar track! That's all!

The 'pre-render' worked really good... it solved the problem. thankssss a lottttttttt!!! You saved my head hehe! Greetings!
