More cores is a good improvement, but just going to 4 will be a modest one. Track transform is a great solution, but can be limiting your creativity / mood. Especially if you don't have really short (impossible) deadlines.

That's not a bad plan, and is a valid way for you to continue to work. It seemed that by the time I would add a virtual drum kit and 3 or 4 more virtual instruments, it would start to give me issues and I would transform to audio to get freed up. On the old machine, I would run out of horsepower before I would run out of memory. I first tried to do small upgrades to my computer with limited success. I went from a 6-core 2.8 Ghz AMD with 8 GB RAM so I was in the same boat and made some mistakes along the way.

Your question has sat around for too long with no reply, so I'll take a stab at it. Georgegidzinski wrote1) My CPU’s can go to 4 cores i5 or i7Ĥ) I can upgrade S1 as I understand that 4.5 may use cores more effectively
