Re: [EXS] RAM Usage question

2004-07-05 by Lenny Stearns

I'm a bit confused about the RAM usage in Logic as concerns the EXS 
(and I suppose the other instruments).  I have a song file that has 
two instances of the EXS24, and one instance of EVP88.  I have turn 
on the virtual memory option in the EXS24, but Logic is hogging 225M 
of RAM, despite my having set it to 100M in the Get Info.

How actually is Logic allocating space?  Does it gobble up more every 
time a new instrument is added? I don't know, but 225M seems like a 
lot of space for Logic and 3 instruments.  One EXS has a drum kit 
(the NS7 free), and the other has a Factory Bank Finger Bass.  I 
thought I had enabled disk streaming (or however it's called) in the 
EXS options, but now I wonder if I have to do this every time I call 
up an instance of the EXS.

Well, I could just buy more RAM, but I'd like to understand how this 
works first.  Any ideas?  If it helps, I'm running a G4 
AGP/400/upgraded to 1.2Ghz with 384M RAM under OS 9.2.2.

Regards,
Lenny
