EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Does anyone know if using a Canopus firewire box to output a Quicktime movie
streamed from my internal ide drive will aversely affect the performance of
streaming EXS samples from a Firewire drive? They would be on seperate FW
ports.

FYI, I'm using G4 Quicksilver dual gig and LAP 6.1, TDM, Mix Plus.

Best,

John Z.

This is an old message, but i wanted to respond because I dealt with this issue 
directly some time ago. Before Logic had built-in QT to FW capabilities I used 
the third-party app by Synthetic Aperture called EchoFire to accomplish this 
while scoring a TV series, and I found that to my dismay, when disk streaming 
was enabled in the EXS, there was a horrendous amount of delay introduced 
between the video and logic's playback. If streaming was turned off, this delay 
would go away. I'm curious as to whether this has been fixed now that Emagic 
has their own driver for QT, but I wouldn't be surprised if the problem still 
exists. I'm not doing video at the moment and my DV bridge box was on loan 
so I can't test it now. Anyone tried it?
