Hello: if anyone could assist me please let me know. I am running Logic Pro 8 on a Mac G4 (yes, really....with leopard OS) I have leopard and logic 8 installed on the main system drive. In addition I bought a 7200 RPM 750 GB hard drive to record all of my files to. I have no problem recording, everything seems to track just fine. When I go to open the files in logic, I get errors, the waveforms do not load, and nothing plays. If I record to my system disk, everything is ok. The system records and plays back just fine. The problem there is I DON'T want to record to the system disk!
Based on that, do you know of a misconfiguration of some sort I have? If you need more information please let me know. P.S. I can save and open any other file to this drive. For example I can use text edit and save a document to the 2nd drive. And then reopen it just fine. |

Caveat: I've never messed with Logic, but these things are pretty universal:
Will the recording created on your 750gig drive work if you copy it to your system HD? Will the recording you made on your system HD work if you copy it to the 750? (restart Logic after copying) Did you try recording a simple single audio line in with no plug-ins, effects, bells, whistles, etc? Leopard is kind of a resource pig, any programs or 'processes' you can turn off? Memory all maxed out? Got plenty of empty space on your system HD (a couple gigs at least - Leopard, and dang near everything else, uses system disk space for 'temporary files')? You might just be pushing the limits of your G4's capabilities and/or the read-write bus for your 2nd drive is a smidgen too slow for your askings. Maybe it'd help to plug the 750 into the other IDE ribbon (i.e. the other I/O bus) inside your G4 (assuming there IS another IDE ribbon for connecting internal drives)? Might be you'll just have to live with the irritation of disk-to-disk file-copying-as-needed until your next Mac, but DO be cheerful! You DO have a working rig! (grins) -G'luck |
