Logic Crashing On Tiger... Options

[jhanna]

Hi

I've got an IMac G5 with 2 gig Ram, been useing Logic 7.0 for a few years and never had any problems, i recently bought a MOTU 8 PRE and had to upgrade to OSX 10.4 in order to instal the MOTU software, since then i've had problems with the Logic crashing, when i'm in an arrangement, sometimes if i go to save the arr as a "save as" i can type in the new version name but when i hit return to save it it crashes, it does actually save the version (thankfully!) but its still not right, its a bug i guess that shouldnt be there....yesterday the Mac crashed twice fully and today its crashed Logic twice already..... does anyone know why this is happening? i dont want to upgrade to 7.2 or 8 yet as i dont want to have to reinstal all my extra plug ins and im half way through an important project and cant risk more problems.

Thanks
J

jhana,

What resolved your crashing problem with Logic in 10.4.x with the MOTU 8 Pre? Just curious.

peace.

"You can't sleep a wink, when your system goes blink, make you turn to drink, don't care what you think, sign this in ink... Never, ever, ever Change a working system, no, no, no, no, noooo.... don't do dat.... Thank you dat wuz brought to you by old dumb ass Mac Daddy... "Going to the States tomorrow... Gonna have fun and shooooop!" Be sharp, don't Bb.

That has a good beat already.

Sorry I have been out of it for a while. New record label launched, new company formed. Missing hanging with my peeps on the 440 forums.

However, to add to the line of defense on both sides.

Jhana,

MacDaddy offers good advice. Perhaps the only caveat that was not clear is 'if you are currently working on a project and need to get it finished, do not add new variables to your situation until that project is ready to mix/master or put in the can'. Doing so only opens yourself up to unnecessary risk.

Everyone else who responded in defense of our users and our forum, I am sure that we have all had a time when a project we are working on gets hung on extraneous issues; new software, a recalcitrant piece of hardware, a stoned musician, whatever... When those things happen and they are out of our artistic control, our hackles go up, our ire is stirred and our patience is strained. We should all be able to relate to Jhana's situation and take that extra deep breath, look past the frustration and attempt to help out a fellow Mac User and artist. As it is apparent that is exactly what happened here.

Rock on!

It is good to see the passion is still on the forum and that creativity is still in bloom.

All the best from ATX!

peace.
