Hi, Robert.

Yeah, it's past time for an upgrade, but it's not in the budget.

Usually the CPU issue are the VST effects. I can typically render stems so that I'm working with a plain .wav file, but for some reason getting the Waves VSTs has been a challenge. I think I've got a workaround for that, but that'll wait for future productions.

Also, I've typically added the mastering effects after the mix chain. I think I'll change my workflow by rendering a final mix, and then do mastering as a separate process. That'll take a small load off the computer.

Anyway, thanks for the kudos! They're appreciated.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
