playing back, you will hear dropouts.
Do the following to avoid disk overload:
Reduce the amount of audio channels being written by choosing mono inputs instead
of stereo inputs in the Audio Preferences' Channel Conguration dialog.
Use RAM Mode for selected clips.
Reduce the number of audio channels playing by using mono samples instead of
stereo samples when possible. You can convert stereo samples to mono using any
standard digital audio editing program, which can be called up from within Live.
