Thank you, this can be very helpful. I am battling a project, where I
got alot of Out of Memory error messages when opening EXS24 instances
or adding new plugins. So far solution has been bouncing a couple of
instruments, and removing the plugins. I could not figure why, as I
have 1 G RAM, and the song was only using 640 MB of memory. There are
still 300 something left unused. And I don't use large multisamples
etc, all my samples are usually created for the song (cut up
loops/soundscapes/etc), maybe one or two multivelocity/multizone EXSes
(far below 100 MB)

Also, even if Logic is assigned 512 MB ram, the about memory dialog
shows that Logic (for example) is using 640 out of allocated 960 MB..? 

So the solution is in fact the other way around - lowering the program
memory for Logic, to leave space for EXS samples?

Or is this because of a high number of audio files/very much
programming/automation?
