I just recently acquired a G4 400mhz w/384 RAM. I have purchased a USB/MIDI Interface and installed Reason 1.0. When I run reason's demo, it uses about 40% of the CPU Power according to REASON's CPU MONITOR. I always ran a stress test by opening a bunch of demos to see how far I could go and after about 7 windows, it threw an error.
I bought this G4 thinking that it would run a lot cleaner and smoother than windows. Is there something I am not doing right or configuring correctly? I am using this machine only for audio and nothing else. I have turned off just about everything I am not using in Extension Manager. The only thing I want to do is run AUDIO SOFTWARE/MIDI CONTROLLER/FIREWIRE SOUNDCARD/FIREWIRE HD/EXTERNAL CD BURNER. What is the best way to configure this Ti? -Mike |

Just that users reported better performances of the system and stability when quicktime is on.
Else if it's on and you're not using it it's use of CPU must be peanuts. in my last post you should read 'I can'T assure'  For the Reason part of the pb I don't use it so can't be of any help if it's Reason related, But friends of mine using it on G4 never reported troubles to me… Also have you made the memory partition of reason bigger ? Maybe it'll help. -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home
