Tracktion 6 high cpu usage

[Gyrosound]

Why is it overloading my CPU when mixing down tracks?

[Peter Widdicombe]

Platform? Processor (s)? Memory?

How many tracks and VST's in use?

Have you looked at the CPU details on which VST's may be using heavy processing? (click the cpu meter in the upper right).

In the absence of any other data in your post, I'll suggest 'alien incursion'.

Maybe take a look at the cpu usage meter and see if there's any greedy plug-ins and freeze those tracks.
Rendering at 1X play speed doesn't hurt either.

When you found the sound you like for your edit Make a copy of your edit first, then in your copy of your edit render all your tracks that has plugins this will kill all you cpu usage from plugins giving you more could to mix and master with an you will still have the original saved for safekeeping

Or use Freeze Points which basically does the same thing with significantly less hassle and more flexibility.
