n-Track Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a fast CPU to use effects?

Most modern dual-core CPUs are workhorses and can process a vast number of effects and tracks. Faster CPUs will be able more effects and/or more tracks. If you don't need too many tracks chances are that you'll be able to use many effects even if your processor is not the faster in the market. The best thing is to try: if you can hear jumps in the playback or the system nearly freezes, then it means that it hasn't enough power to do that, and you need to freeze or bounce tracks (so that the effects are temporarily no longer computed in real-time during playback relieving the CPU).
