I am running a 1.25 Ghz G4 power book with 1.25 gig of ram. I am running Logic 6.4.1 and I constantly get the "disc too slow" error message if I use more than 5 tracks of audio and an audio instrument. I have tried buying more ram, freeing up space on my hard drive, freezing files, changing buffer size.. everythng! From what I can gather from other fourums it's a pretty common problem and it does not seem to be a hardware problem it seems to be a data transfer problem with Logic. My question is what can I do about it ????
Is it possible to upgrade my Logic 6.4.1 to a more later version of 6 (i dont want to buy logic 7) and will this even help matters? |

My question is what can I do about it ???? The obvious answer is buy a ext FW drive, but there is other things you could do to increase the performance of Logic, like streamlining your operating system when you run Logic. Some examples would be turn off your "Airport" and Bluetooth. Turn off your "Dock" functions like magnification and hiding. Also the manual says taking off the photo on your desktop helps. Then optimize your "Audio Hardware and Driver" preferences, you could turn up the latency on your soundcard or adjust your memory buffer till your system is running better. You should also turn down the amount of audio channels you require, to conserve RAM. All of this stuff is minor but should help. Don't forget though, you should always use a different drive then your system drive when working with audio. This post has been edited by LaMort: Tue 13 Mar 2007, 02:03 |
