This is an imac computer and speed may be an issue but obviously I'd rather not replace the computer unless necessary. I've added ram once. I'll check to see if there is any more room to increase it. Booted up this morning and now my plugins "cannot be found" and have been made inactive. Removing them was one suggestion to solve the problem but didn't. It still won't bounce to disk.
I've recorded before successfully but maybe this longer song with more tracks exceeds the limit. I really appreciate your suggestions and hate to admit defeat, but I feel like an infant trying to drive a Ferrari.
