Hi guys, since a while I have some trouble when using Arena live....
I use Arena with a lot of clips and a lot of decks, say 14 decks with aprox 5 (layers) times 40 to 80 loops in them, when I start my show everything runs smooth but during the night after some time, say one or two hours Arena starts to stutter and hang when I click a clip for preview or to run, not only the preview clips hangs for a sec, also the output running to the screens hangs that moment...
My guess is that it has something to do with my HDD's in my laptop, I run Arena and most of the clips from the same HDD (C: and D:) but some, because my discs are getting full, are run from E: which is a physical different disc.
How much I would like to buy a new rig with a better graphics card and SSD's in it, the only upgrade I could afford myself now is a BIG SSD (Samsung 840 EVO 1Tb) which would replace all the other discs containing content so Arena would run from a HDD (C:) and the content would be loaded from the SSD (E: or something).
Would this solve the problem or do I overlooked something else that would help?
Specs from the laptop:
i7 proc.
12Gb RAM
2x 750Gb sata HDD
GTM 560M 3Gb DDR5 graphics
Win 7
A different thing is that I got a "low memory" warning some time ago running big video's, but the taskmanager said my RAM was almost unused ( just 4Gb or so) so it had to be the RAM on the graphics card and I have no idea how to empty that cache/memory when running Arena...
Thanks ahead for any help
