yes, i really do not know how i am doing it. I reached a point where i just froze all tracks in the project and the ssd largely makes up for it. but im really pulling my hair out here and can't wait for a new machine. What a beaut of a machine to of lasted so long though.
hopefully they will implement this pre rendering type of thing in the future. it just seems like a waste of time and resources for me with the machine sitting idle when it could atleast be doing some preperation before.
