Logic 7.0 - Dual Processor Issues..., how to make logic distribute cpu..? Options

[citypigeon]

i have a dual 2.0 G5 with 1.5G ram running logic 7.0 on osx10.3.9- ...

i've recently got synthogy ivory and kontakt2 which means i've finally got some instruments that actually push the cpu a little so this is the first time the distributed processing in logic has been an issue for me... i know i've read somewhere in these forums about a technique to make logic use both processors but i can't remember where (or what the technique was).

I don't think its my hard drive since although i'm still just using the standard 160G and its getting pretty full there are only a few audio tracks and the HD meter is hardly reaching 10%.. i am using dfd on ivory and kontakt a bit but unless the logic performance meter ignores the DFD activity it can't be that.

So.. can anyone tell me a reliable way to make logic use both processors equally as i can get it to work properly occasionally but most of the time the left cpu is full and the right cpu is left twiddling its thumbs, so i have to freeze a load of tracks to get any work done. I'd like to use both the processors i bought...


thanks in advance

Distributed processing refers not to the processors in a dual processor G5, but to connecting multiple G5's via ethernet or FireWire. You can then specify which tracks in Logic are assigned to which G5.
