Yeah... It's stupid, I know. But I don't like having limits. I had a ton of synths playing together to create my sound along with my drums and percussion. Add to that all the guitar/bass recordings...
That worked fine. Then I loaded up piano... Fine. Strings... Fine. Brass... Fine. WOODWINDS?! BOOM.
Failed to load every single time. Turns out my laptop was trying to commit 17gb to keep it stable. u_u
My latest track didn't need it since I didn't add an orchestra, it was the one before last. I think the latest one sounds better though cause of my new guitar. n_n

I'm in the same boat. I'm also using a laptop with 16gb of RAM, and my projects are getting quite heavy. I didn't think to split them into multiple projects though.

It's frustrating! But at least by splitting it I can use all my plugins to their full potential.
