I have a powerbook G4 with 1.5ghz processor, 1.25 gig of Ram & OSX 10.3.9 with Ableton Live 5.2.2 & I was playing live the other day & not using my Firwire Interface as an output (instead opting for the "built in audio" option with a 1/8" adapter to RCA outs into a mixer) & on one song I started getting serious CPU overload at 62% & by that I mean audio cutout/stutter/slowdown....very ugly. This hadn't happened earlier in my home studio with the FW interface hooked up & it didn't happen when I got back home either (with the FW hooked up once again). Does using the built in audio really tax the CPU that much? Anyone else ever experience this? What was the solution?

Thanks guys I will try all of the above...BTW as far as apps running in the background what would you suggest turning off? Obviously turning off OSX is out of the question & I occasionally forget to turn off Airport, so that may be a problem that is easy to solve. What about disabling Finder? Also....how much of a pain is it to upgrade to 10.4 from 10.3...I got about a gajillion apps & files that I am afraid of losing in the transition. Any suggestions? The last time I upgraded an OS (98SE to XP), it was quite painful.

Having your most important files backed up is always recommended. -------------------- |
