Mixing with Virus TI... How do you guys do it??

ATM I just mix in the virus internaly. It has it's limmitations but it's not bad.
When i'm finished I bounce all parts en mix them futher.
Also i think compression is a bit overrated. Using sidechain compression for something as a bass i can understand, but compressing a melody is not really nessecary untill the song is ready and bounced. You can use the part volume automation

yea, i've found a few work arounds, as my program is also chewing up alot of the CPU time, this helps with that too...I use the three outputs, three different channels of effects, when I use another sound on the channel (just for testing purposes) I just turn off the effects for the previous channel.

It's all about bouncing down when you have a line (relatively) complete. Saves CPU time, and gives you freedom to move onto a different sound. I manage to juggle this balance alright, to where I find I only need to bounce every so often.

I coup with the internal mixer as well.

There are work arounds, it just takes time and patience.
