Ah.. thanks Mac... Yeah... what I meant to say what will rendering the AIFF files help speed up when the song is generated? In other words... I render the AIFF file for my bass part on a tune, and I save it to the default location. The next time I open up that tune, is there a way to have it use that pre-rendered bass part to speed up the generation process?

In the meanwhile, I'll grab one of the demo songs and generate it while timing it. I've got a macbook 2.2 Ghz with 4BG or RAM. Should be enough, no?
