Anyone ever hook a Boss br-864 up to logic as MMC? Im having trouble so I\ufffdm just wondering if I\ufffdm not barking up the wrong tree. Thomas Grise <tomgrise@...> wrote:Thanks. I have a 1.33 MHz G4 iBook. I've had 512MB in it for a while but am updating to 1.25MB today. Pretty pumped. By the way, this may be common knowledge, but crucial.com is ubercheap for memory upgrades and it was recommended by a pretty seasoned apple-geek friend of mine. My gig chip has half what I would've paid at the apple store. Rock. Anyway. So, I've received both "too slow" problems, each for the reason you'd expect. Too many plugins -> "cpu too slow" or "Core audio too slow" (Hopefully my new memory situation will alleviate this problen) Too many audio tracks -> "Disk too slow" This is the one Im hoping the external firewire drive will help with. Im going to try out the new memory before i go and buya drive, but I want to have a solution in mind when it happens again so I don't superfly-snucka(sp?) my iBook.

However, note that there are two "too slow" errors: A CPU overload and a disk overload. CPU overloads, caused by a lack of processing power to deal with all the plugins, _can_ be relieved by an external firewire harddisk as this can induce slightly less load on the processor than an IDE drive (the Firewire filetransfer protocol is simpler and the interface does more of the work). On the Logic User Group, I've read reports both confirming and denying this, so your mileage may vary. To get the best peformance overall, go for a fast disk, preferably either SATA or SCSI. SCSI drives are not necessarily faster than SATA drives, but they certainly put less strain on the processor. However it is quite an expensive solution and SATA might well be good enough. What system do you have, which of the two overload errors do you get and in what situation (how many tracks, softsynths etc)..? There is no definitive way to get rid of a too slow-message for ever; it's just a matter of having a machine that can deal with your requirements. Maurits. --------------------------------- Yahoo!
