Re: [EXS] optimum set-up with TiBook 500

2003-09-01 by kiermyer

Hi Julie,

Thanks for your help, your being very generous. 

I'll try to play a phrase over and over...perhaps I''ll get lucky. 
Michiel sent me 8 and 16 layer instruments. How do I make a 4 
layer one please?


> What audio card are you using?
Metric Halo MIO 8228 / ULN2

> How much ram are you allotting to Logic?
You mention allocating more memory for Logic but how can I do 
this in OSX???

> Are you using bunches of plug-ins?
no, not right now on this piece with the PMI

> Are your samples on an external drive?
yes, 7200 oxford 911 - IBM deskstar

so...
I'll keep on trying and then fall back to the giga 1gig
