Hi Leon,

I upgraded to Logic 7.  My sample load isn't as heavy as yours, but I
use many of the same plug-ins, in addition to Waves, Arturia, etc.  It
seems that no matter what I do, L7 crashes on my G5 2X2 with 2G of RAM
and a MOTU 828mkII.  I went back to 6.4.1.  While I still get the
occasional unexpected quit, more often than not, my 6.4.1 sessions
work without a hitch.

I'm going to sit on 7 until an upgrade is released.  Hopefully, things
run better at that point.

Regards,
