"What's Sampletank setting file? How do you do it?"
It's the file that you modified to install Sampletank (Since the sampletank dialog crashes). I would just take a look at the file to make sure the directory paths are correct.
"Also, i have a 14 track piece utilizing all sampletank sounds. However, it's giving my 1gig processor some trouble....Can you recommend how else I can reduce the CPU usage ?"
What I usually do is use sampletank on aux 1, turn off all the reverbs and place a reverb on aux 2 (I like the reverb from wavearts because it makes nice use of processor resources and still sounds good). Then I route the sampletank sounds that I want reverb on, to sampletank outputs 3+4 which I route to aux 2. Other effects in sampletank besides reverb can be processor intensive, so if you can, turn those off as well.
If you want the original sounds or if you just don't have enough processor power, simply mix the desired tracks to audio. To do this Solo the tracks you want and then use file:mix-audio-tracks. Then archive the originals.
If you ever need to change the tracks you can go back, unarchive and edit the MIDI and then re-mix to audio.
