I'm writing a dnb track with around 5 concurrent drum patterns, a few synths and a bass - now my computer is 'cracking' (it pops and jitters, and mouse goes funny), and this proving annoying, debilitating further composition and mixing/eqing. I have 256mb ram, should I get more to stop the prob, or is there a way to get more power from the machine? I've got my sample rate set at 44100, and buffer size is maximum, should I change the 'latency compensation' to lower, or the sample rate, or upgrade more ram (is that even possible?)... I know that spending time exporting and minimizing would do well for the problem, however there's limited space on the hard disk, so oing this would create another problem... any ideas?

I suggest the frist thing to do is upgrade your ram to 1024mb ram at least. Let us know if this does the trick

I've got the ram now, everything seems to be smoother - I'll post the track onto soundclick when it's mixed up and finished... it's complex
