Hi there
Apologies if this topic has already been covered (I had a quick search but couldn't see it). Basically I'm having issues with latency and CPU when using ablton 5.2 on my Mac G5. As soon as I start building up a track with a few VSt's running I hit problems. I have a lot of music/sample cd's/refills store on my machine and was considering buying an external hard drive as I'm sure I've heard it can improve the system performance -storing your samples and music externally. Can anyone comment on this or indeed confirm it ? thanks very much |

Hello
First, are the audio files on the system drive? If yes, it'll help. Mind that you can have 2 drives in the G5, not to mention the hacks to add more (though more expensive than the second drive or a firewire external) Second, is the issue related to sample/loop reading or you're hitting the wall with the CPU ? If so, the drive won't help much. There's plenty to read in the hard drives sub forum on external drives and files, in case. -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home
