“Everybody to the Limit” – Strong Bad

And by everybody, I mean my processor. Figures, I get stuff settled down in one arena, and then I create a song so loaded with post production effects that even after knocking out every last redundant piece of virtual hardware in the track (might be able to weedle it down a bit more, but I risk losing what I want in the mix by doing so,) my processor can’t even properly render it out let alone play it back in real time. Now, I might be able to cheat that for now by breaking up my big vocal files into a series of smaller pieces, therefore negating the noticible latency issues in Reason that exist when rendering processor intensive songs out of the software, but I really need, as Tim Taylor of Home Improvement aptly put it back in the early 90’s, “more power!” I’ve got a plan for this involving swap outs of processors from the main family machine to my machine, and from newegg.com to the main family machine, but this means that even though I should be able to lay down the rest of my vocals this week, I may not be able to render the finalized product out until whenever I get a new processor.

If I were superstitious, I’d take these headaches as a sign that maybe I shouldn’t release my CD. OTOH, the traffic to my site keeps escalating, people are waiting for the reprints of my old disc, people are waiting for the release of my new disc and frankly, I want this new CD to get out there cause I think I’ve brought my skills up a level or two, and I want people to hear it. Besides, I’d rather think of this as a test of my perseverance, if it’s anything at all.
