Hi Folks,
Sorry if I have asked a question which has been asked a thousand times before.... I have a G3 266 on OS 8.6 with M Audio Audiophile 2496 soundcard and Logic Audio Silver which works fine. I just inherited a G4 450MhZ on OSX 10.3.9. It seems Logic Silver won't work on OSX. What do I do?? The new fangled Logic Express seems to be less powerful than the old Audio Silver since it has only 12 audio tracks etc. (Audio Silver has 24 audio tracks). Can I run Silver on my G4? Would I have to install OS 9. whatever? or is there other software which would equal the power of Logic Silver???? Thanks in advance, Davie |

QUOTE (davbox @ May 30 2005, 19:15) Hi there Thanks for that info. So, next question - should I flatten the HD and install OS9. whatever, OR install OS9 and keep OSX in and do a "dual boot" thing and boot up on OS9 when I want to run Logic Silver? I have 512MB ram at the moment. Thanks again fior replying Davie I've got a G4 dual (450Mhz) 1.5GB RAM. I have the Audiophile 2496 PCI card installed ( used mainly for digital in/out ) plus M-Audio USB MIDISport 8 x 8 midi interface box. I also have LOGIC Silver 4.8.1 which ( of course ) will only run in OS 9. It works great. I refused to move up to LOGIC Express or PRO when Apple took over EMagic and would not give me an upgrade price reduction. In addition to increasing your RAM I also recommend installing another drive. I've got 4 drives. The G4 has lots of room for installing drives and RAM. The original drive has both OS X and 9. One drive has TIGER the other has Panther and one drive has the original OS 9. I also use a FIREWIRE hard for AUDIO only. Perhaps you could keep us up to date on what you decide to do.
