hello, everyone i am new to the forum and the mac/digital recording world in general and have a few quick questions regarding the use of a 1.67ghz powerbook, logic pro, and presonus firepod in recording live bands. This seems like a reasonable set-up from what i have gathered
but i'm wondering if there is anything in particular i need to do as far as optimizing my computer to handle latencey, plug-ins, and multi-tracking. I'm sorry if this seems vague but I'm just looking to get the most out of this potential set-up. Any opinions are welcome. thanks! |

Partitioning on a powerbook may help a bit for the virtual memory, as the drive is slow, to have a dedicated partition (5-6 GB, I've given my G5 a 10 GB partition, it uses about 4,5 of them usually) can smooth things a bit (easier for the OS to find the bits it needs, faster access). Also, in doubt, you can always reformat the VM partition after a major problem.
I use Swap Cop myself to tell the system where the MV is, but you'll have to delete the old MV files on the regular system partition to bring the space back. Note, it's NOT mandatory, just some real fine tuning. i'd like some inpt from powerbook users who are laptoping like mad on this issue.  About the word program, no problemo. -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home
