EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi Mark.  If I were you, I would wait until I received Logic 6 and
learned how to use the freeze function.
With the freezing you will be able to use many more plugins and voices
in your sampler, whichever
One you use.  If you are still maxing out your CPU with your workload
and work style, then a dual
Processor system will make a large difference.  The longer you wait to
upgrade the better a deal you
Will be able to get, so take it easy and don't rush it.
 
Logic will remember freeze settings.  The freezed tracks are stored in
the song folder in a labled
Freeze folder.

Subject: [EXS] 733->Dual 1.2G Processor Upgrade?
 

Hi,
I have a 2001 QS733 w/640 PC133 RAM and 300Gigs internal. Bus speed is
133. 
I'm thinking of taking the dual upgrade plunge. But I have a few
questions:
1) Does anyone have any experience with the dual upgrades? Any insights?
I 
know xlr8yourmac.com has benchmark and realworld tests, but none of them
are 
audio oriented, and I know that audio is not only processor heavy, but 
relies on all the computer's busses, so with that in mind...
2) Does the 167 bus speed and DDR in the mirror Macs make that much of a

difference? How would my QS w/upgrade fare in comparison to a similar
mirror 
mac in areas that require heavy bus thru-put (streaming samples/audio)?
How 
about plug-in count?
3) Will Logic be able to take advantage of the dual proc.'s fully, for 
instance will the 2nd processor trick work on audio tracks (the I/O
helper 
trick I think its called)?

Please help a finance conscious musician (with a even more finance
conscious 
fiancee who has something in the oven and wants a house) make the right 
decision. I just ordered Logic 6 and I'm hoping that it'll help me make
the 
most of my processor so I won't have to upgrade.

So anyone have any details on freeze? I know the theory, but how does it

work in use? Does Logic remember freeze settings upon re-opening a saved

song? If so where does the 'freezed' track's audio live? Is there some
sort 
of protected area reserved on the audio partition? Or does it simply 
re-freeze tracks upon re-opening?

And also, anyone else here running Sampletank? It just abuses my
processor, 
but I've heard others say it's their most CPU friendly plug. But for me
it 
eats up 30-40% of my processor when it sits on the selected arrange
track, 
unused, transport not running. Does that sound right?

Mark

PS: I sent this to all three lists, hope you guys don't mind.
