I'm just starting to learn GPO and have a iBook G4 933 booting from a Lacie 80 GB 7200 HD using Metro 6.2. I was quite depressed when first putting down some midi tracks and it choked after three tracks. But if you use the dry samples the cpu usage is much, much lower. It makes it quite usable and I can add reverb with my nanoverb when I move my tracks to audio. But those new iMac G5s sure look nice don't they.

GPO gobbles oodles of memory. It's recommended to have a full 1GB of RAM to play the full orchestra, although I have a suspicion this number is low. I have a 1Ghz OWC processor, a 128GB Audio HD (only keep audio files and whatnot on it, no proggies) and about 576MB of RAM and it starts maxing out the processor at 3, depending on the sample being used. I upped the buffers to about 1200 and I can do 4 occassionally.
Have you noticed that the harp takes up an ENORMOUS amount of power? I created my own gliss and my computer can barely handle it. Try |
