EXS24 Hangs searching Firewire drive

EXS24 Hangs searching Firewire drive

2003-11-18 by archetypemusic

Hi. My EXS24 hangs when trying to load samples from a Jem Firewire drive 
(Oxford Chip) The drive gets stunned and has to be turned off or else the G4 
dual 1.25 (OSX) also hangs on the drive. This drive has always had my 
samples and in OS9 (and on a G4 400) this never happened. This drive also 
provides audio for Logic 6.2 flawlessly. 
I've noticed posts mentioning EXS24 streaming audio...is that what it does 
now? I thought that it loaded samples into the RAM...has that changed? Could 
this be the problem?
Thanks for your help,
Mitch

This may be your problem... make sure that your energy saver is set to NEVER let any 
hard drive sleep.  I've noticed that the only time I ever had trouble with firewire drives 
was when I got my new computer and had forgotten to change this setting.
