Especially back when most CPUs were about 200MHz tops, drives were much smaller, and turning on a single reverb brought everything to a screaming halt. (Freezing trax was not an option.)
One of the better DAWs at the time was Opcode's Vision (still is, tho they went out of business back then)(Live didn't exist, Pro Tools didn't have MIDI worth mentioning) and the first decent plug-ins were just being released... nothing worked together and crashes were frequent.
Very tedious ... not to dis this production which is madly skilled. I'm still not convinced that Prodigy did all that in software.
