Not sure if anyone else has come accross this.
Mac spec Powermac G5 dual 2.7ghz 2 gb ram 250gb serial ata ati radeon 9650 RME Fireface 800 Logic Pro 7.1 Reason 3 Whenever I start Logic my hard drive starts a failry high pitch whining noise. If I then add Reason via Rewire - it gets worse? Has anyone else come accross this? |

Someone else has already mentioned the nap fix (which imo is in fact a fix).
My computer whines too. A good way to find out if it is a Nap issue is to mouse over some functions in a program and see if the whine pitch changes at all. If it does you should download CHUD tools and install it http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/8506 Once installed go to: Open hardware prefs/and uncheck nap (which is what the whole nap thing is about) That should do it. Every time you fire up your mac you will need to uncheck nap but other than that you'll be fine. I have had a G5 2x2 for over 2 years and its been like that. It is on almost all day every day and it works flawlessly (unlike some software I use) so like I said , imo, it is a real fix. |
