I've got a G4 with two hard drives, one running OX the other O9. I've got DP 3 on the O9 with 512 or ram. (I think I have twice that ram on OX). I'm also using Waves Gold plugins, and they eat up a ton of memory. On a couple of tunes I keep getting the message to raise the buffer. The DP3 default is 1024 (or something close to that). I had to raise it to 4000ish to play the song without crackles.
My questions: What are the issues of changing the buffer settings up and down for various songs? Is this hard on the drives? Should I be defraging the disk after changing settings? If I increase the ram on O9 will it solve the problem of having to adjust buffer settings? Is there any way to utilize the ram on the OX disk? |
