Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Hi,

 

I'm a relatively new Logic convert (from Cubase). In the last few weeks,
Logic has started to slow to a halt when I open files or create a new
song. In fact, on some occasions it stops responding completely. As well
as that, new files are losing links to the media library - I can play
loops but not drag them onto projects.

 

I'm on a G5 with plenty of RAM and I have not added any instruments or
effects. The only thing I have done is followed the auto update of the
system and (I think) Logic itself. Is anyone else having the same
problem as a result of Leopard upgrades?

 

Thanks in advance,

Mike Norton

I have found that if you keep your projects on an external drive, I  
use an exernal LaCie FW-800 drive, and record your files to this  
drive, performance is much better.  You say plenty of RAM.  What is  
Plenty?  I have 2-gigs.  Also, what KHz are your projects?  44.1, 48,  
72, 96?  The larger the number, the more taxing it is on the system.

That shouldn't happen. I would suggest :
- Making a separate hard drive for your music system (Mac OS, Logic, etc). If 
necessary buy an additional disk, and do a clean install of the system and 
logic.
- Open the TERMINAL and to the periodic cleanup routines (sudo periodic 
daily, etc)
- Open the Disk Utility, and repair permissions
- Run Diskwarrior from another disk or from a CD.
- Make sure you have 20% free hard disk space
- Try opening a new logic song not from a template (you may have audio files 
or loops in your homemade template file which it can't access)
- Try opening a song that takes forever to load, and see what file its 
looking for. For quit Logic, then in the finder do a search (command F) for that 
file name to see if it exists. You may have added loops from a sample CD to a 
song, then the CD is no longer available later.
