OPTIMIZING PERFORMANCE

Songs and Memory

Requirements

Songs not only use up system resources in terms of processing power, they

also require RAM (memory) to load at all.

The amount of RAM required for loading a song, is directly proportional to

the amount of samples used in the song. For example, a song only using

Subtractors and effects requires very little RAM.

If you are running out of RAM try the following:

➜ Close other song documents.

All open songs compete for RAM

➜ Under MacOS; raise the memory setting for Reason.

This is done in the FInder by selecting the Reason application and open-

ing the Get Info window.

➜ Under Windows, terminate other applications.

All running application compete for the RAM available in the computer.

➜ Use mono samples instead of stereo.

Mono samples require half the amount of RAM.

➜ Try sample rate converting sample files to a lower sample rate.

Note that this will affect sound quality negatively. Also note that it will re-

quire an external sample editor with good sample rate conversion facili-

ties.
