Posted by: cuttingrooms Mon 11 Jun 2001, 11:51

hello
i have a 4400 with 96 mb and the standard hard drive and can only get logic or vst to run 3 tracks of audio before it complains, stutters etc

Check system performance in Logic - is Disk I/O too slow ?
The normal HD is too slow. Get another audio disk & SCSI PCI card
like Adaptec 2930.
More RAM will help - at least 192 MB depending on system version.
What's your OS version ?
Keep away from OS 8 - stay with 7.6.1 or go straight to 9.xx.

Best regards
Walter

thanks for the reply walter
as i'm on a limited budget i cant try some of your hardware ideas but since i posted the message i have stripped all the extensions and
now get 7 tracks so maybe this will do for now !thanks again tom
