It's A3 taking something like 330 MB just for an empty

is recording (which worked perfectly well for years using
A2), no plugins or anything else.
I replaced A3 with a simple GUI app doing multichannel
recording, metering, playback and a stereo monitor mix with
EQ, solo, mute and two aux sends, but ATM no editing.
It also allows to set markers and maintain a detailed cue
sheet of the recording. It does all I need for a typical
classical music production or live session and takes less
than 1/10 of the memory plus 1M per channel. Maybe I'll
add 3 and 4pt editing, that would make it complete.

A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia.
It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris

Is it your plugins that are so heavy, or the
app the hosts them?
I've got a similar setup: 512M, Arch + windowmaker,
but can't get A3 to run on it in any usable way - it
just eats too much memory. Any tricks ??
Not really, sorry.
And honestly, the only thing I am able to do with so little ram
is to record. No way I can do editing, and plugins neither.
