Setup: G4 Powerbook/512 RAM; Firewire Solo for Audio; I have a external hard drive, however right now I'm not recording to it, M-Audio Uno for Midi.
Everything records and plays fine until I get to a section with three seperate MIDI tracks all running MOTU virtual symphony instruments, then it starts sputtering and skipping. I really don't want to have to bounce them to audio, any other suggestions? Also, will recording to my external help? If so, do I simply "Save As", or is there somthing else I have to do. Thanks for the advice |

What audio software are you using, how much free disk space and what speed Powerbook?
Your first issue is the amount of RAM you have, 512MB is barely enough to run OSX. Max out your RAM. With that amount of RAM, you are forcing OSX to use your hard drive for virtual memory, then you open your recoring app. more space on your hard drive is needed, you open the plugins, because of the lack of RAM more space on your hard drive is used, THEN you attempt to record to the same disk. OSX will have priority, and will delay other processes so it can handle it's business. I suggest recording to your external drive, so the drive will allways be available for audio, but only if the drive is 7200rpm or faster. If you are using SX none of the above will help, only a G5 class machine will help SX.
