Seeing as I haven't been able to remedy the actual cause of this problem, I'm looking for another solution. I heard someone mention that Cool Edit can pre-mix the entire multitrack recording. How do you turn on this setting? I can't seem to find it anywhere. I guess they might have just been talking about creating a mixdown, but I'd like to know. Thanks,

You can also change the priority level, so this may help as well. Alternatively, why not just wait for the mix to be completed before playing it? _________________ Graeme Don't forget to join the new CEP forum at audiomastersforum

In other words, if you have a session which won't replay without stuttering, it will still exhibit the problem even if background mixing is set to premix the whole file. (I'm open to correction here of course....). Locking effects onto tracks seems to be the best way of avoiding stutters - assuming it's the effects load that's causing the problem. If it's plain tracks, and it's a well-specified machine, there must be some other problem causing restriction to 24 tracks, I'd say. Of course, the ultimate answer is to mix down - perhaps just a highlighted section of the file, if that's all that's needed for the moment. - Ozpeter
