Memory

I just recently saved all my tracks and sounds in an external drive and I only use that to run acid pro. I thought I was saving memory by taking everything out of the c drive. Acid pro still has the audacity to tell me my computer has low memory. It seems to be worse than what it was before. I have over 200 gigs on my computer this make no sense. I can’t seem to understand why it’s running so slow. Has anyone else ran into this issue.

Any reference to "Memory" is, almost always, a reference to the installed RAM on the host computer, nothing to do with the amount of free space on any hard drive. This "confusion" is quite common.

How much physical RAM does your computer have? It might be possible to install additional, or larger, memory chips but it is not guaranteed that this would solve the problem, unfortunately.

When the error message appears, have you tried opening Task Manager (you can do this by right-clicking on the taskbar and choosing Task Manager) to see exactly how much of your available RAM Acid is actually using?
