Hello: if anyone could assist me please let me know. I am running Logic Pro 8 on a Mac G4 (yes, really....with leopard OS) I have leopard and logic 8 installed on the main system drive. In addition I bought a 7200 RPM 750 GB hard drive to record all of my files to. I have no problem recording, everything seems to track just fine. When I go to open the files in logic, I get errors, the waveforms do not load, and nothing plays. If I record to my system disk, everything is ok. The system records and plays back just fine. The problem there is I DON'T want to record to the system disk!
Based on that, do you know of a misconfiguration of some sort I have? If you need more information please let me know. P.S. I can save and open any other file to this drive. For example I can use text edit and save a document to the 2nd drive. And then reopen it just fine. |

What's the make of the hard drive precisely ?
Next, I'd look into the way it's formatted as gdoubleyou wrote. Last thing to try is to use an external enclosure and see if it does the same thing. -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home

I use two internal drives on my G5 (understood, different proc, different HDD interface) with Logic Studio and Leopard and do not have any issue with the process you describe. I have my second drive partitioned into different partitions to reduce the cluster size and also segregate my work (audio/song files, audio/soundtrack files, video, masters, MP3s, Temp Files) and record all my audio directly to the second disc.
I'd make sure (as pointed out by both lepetitmartiean and gdoubleyou) that the drive is formatted correctly (Mac OS X, journaled recommended for Leopard, but not required) and that you have repaired it in Disk Utility. What are the specific errors you get in Logic when you open projects with the files recorded (presumably also in Logic) on the second drive? Is it "Missing Audio Files" or some other more cryptic error? that's definitely a head scratcher. Post back and lets see if we can figure this one out collectively... peace. -------------------- |
