The Logic Off Topic list

Hi,
     I use Gold 4.7 on my mac. 
     As i have a few other applications on the same drive, i find that 
Logic is forever freezing due to, i presume, extension clashes.
     What i intend to do to prevent this is create a partition large 
enough on my drive so that i can put OS9 plus Logic on their own 
on the partition. Can anyone supply me with a list of Extensions 
that i will need turned either on or off, in the extensions manager 
,so that it is maximised for Logic only.?
     Any help would be appreciated,
     Yours 
      Roger

It doesn't matter where the Logic appliction is situated.  Just leave 
it where it is, and don't install an extra OS.  The only thing you 
might do is trim your extensions for use with audio applications. 
And you might also want to update your Logic to version 4.8.1,which 
has been very stable to me (until I got 5 :)

I use Conflict Cathcher, which doesn't allow text-export of extension 
lists, but this is the stuff I have switched ON:

Apple Audio Extension
All CD/DVD extensions
Apple Guide
Apple Menu Options
Apple Monnitor Plugins
AppleScript
AppleScriptLib
All ATI extensions, except ATI 3D Accelerator
CarbonLib
Contextual Menu Ext
Control Strip
Control Strip Ext
DigiDesign Extensions (since I have a Digi 001)
Find By Content
General Controls
HTMLRenderingLib
Keyboard
Memory
Monitors
Mouse
OMS Preferred Device
Open Music System (these last 2 only if you use OMS)
All QuickTime extensions, except the Firewire and VR ones
SerialShimLib
Shared Library Manager
Shared Library Manager PPC
SOMobjects for Mac OS
Sound
Sound Manager
System Monitor Plugins
USB Device Extension
USB OMSMIDIDriver
vBasicOps
vBigNum
vectorOps
vMathLib
and finally: all USB drivers for USB devices you happen to own

All the rest is off.  Has always worked for me...

Why don't you divide your hard drive up into two sections?  One for your 
music and one for your other applications.  I got a mate to do mine and not 
one problem in two years. TOUCH WOOD Quickly.  HE HE 

I don't know how to do it but I'm sure someone on the net.  www.sospubs.co.uk 
 <A HREF="http://www.sospubs.co.uk/">SOS FORUM</A>  or <A HREF="http://www.audioforums.com/">AudioForums.com - Audio Forums for PC and Macintosh digital 
audio hardware and</A> their forums are very useful.

Good luck

Debbie

Don't know what the original question was, but in response to the above:

Partitioning your hard drive might be a good idea.  Put all 
applications (including Logic) on one partition, and dedicate a 2nd 
partition to your Logic songs (including all audio).  The advantage 
is that small partitions are easier to defragment-- something you 
want to do regularly with audio disks.  Besides, if you have just one 
partition -- i.e. including your system and all data -- you cannot 
even defragment it, since the disk will always contain open (system) 
files.  That by itself is a big argument in favour of partitions.

However, don't expect much performance gain from such a scheme (if 
any at all).  Since System, Logic and audio files still reside on the 
same physical disk, the disk read-head has to do some acrobatics to 
read all required data.  Therefore the best solution, performance 
wise, is to have a seperate dedicated audio disk (talking physical 
disks here).

I partitioned my internal 10 GB HD in 3 sections: Mac OS, 
Applications and Data (text, graphics, etc).  Audio goes on a 
seperate dedicated 28 GB HD.  Works very well.
