I went back to clean up my cover and now Windows crashes every time I try to open it. I may have overdone it with the processing. Whoops.

I had a with that with my old setup. Going from 4GB of RAM to 12GB makes a work of difference.

I updated to 16gb not too long ago. I think it's a CPU load problem. After uploading my first bounce, I got a bit ambitious with some of my effects chains and ended up with like 18 plug-ins on the vocals alone between the two vocal tracks, three sends, and the vocal bus. I guess it's my bad for cheaping out on the processor when I was building this machine.

Good news: I was eventually able to keep the project open long enough without a crash to clear out the vocal chain. There's still so much going on with all the instrument tracks and the mixing plug-ins on those, I've had to increase the ASIO buffer to the max just to make the track listenable. Admittedly, FL Studio isn't really built for what I'm doing here, but I've just gotten so comfortable with it, it's hard to let go.

No promises.

I don't know if this is dead, but I replaced the original with the final. Even if there's another extension, this is my entry. How many other people are working on something?

It's Sunday now. Good job all around on the great tunes and particular congratulations to Alt Pants for his utter and complete victory. What's next? I think we should all do covers of Spice Girls' Wannabe.

I'm going on vacation is week, so if anyone else wants to start the next thread go for it. Otherwise I'll get it going on Sunday.
