Playing Audio Tracks

**plzhelp** · 01-02-2017, 11:38 PM

Today I was trying to make a remix of a song with Reason 4, and I have been having some trouble. Whenever I play this audio track created with the NN-XT sampler it takes 20 seconds, then finally starts playing sounds. Whenever I pause it and then play it again, the sounds do not play at all, although I am still playing the track. Please help!!!!

Thanks,

Is it a large file maybe running out of Ram/CPU?

The file is 39.5 MB. Do you think that is too big? If so, is there any way to optimize it so it is smaller?

What is you system Ram/Cpu/OS..ect?

well, first thing. Cause it is midi triggered, the sound will only play when you start from the beginning of the midi data.

Also, right click and then do edit sample, see if there isnt just a long silence at the start of the sample.

If cpu or disk overload is an issue, you should be able to see it below in the sequencer.

Disk overflow playbakc issues can be temporarily solved sometimes by letting the song playback a few times. This way it starts reading out of your ram more in stead of straight from the disk

4gb ram is rather low for todays OS's and DAW's. You say you are using Reason 4 how is it you are working with audio? Also what are you running Win7 as 32 or 64bit. If 64bit are you running Reason in 32bit mode?
