Hello
Can you help. I bought a Mini Mac 1.42GHZ (not Intel) to run Ableton Live. All was fine, until recently I began running 6 tracks simultaneously and I started getting sound drop outs. The 'D' in the top right hand corner flashes to show that the mac's pathetic 4200rpm hard drive can't keep up. (apple don't seem to advertise there hard drive speeds in their specs) Do I ... a) replace the internal with a 7200rpm drive. And if so, any suggestions or what make and model. Will I get significant speed/ track leaps, avoiding drop outs. b) Use an external Firewire drive and if so how do I set this up. Do I... put the application (Live) and the project file on the internal hard drive and put the samples on the external. or does the project file also go on the external drive along with the samples. Many thanks for any help or assistance you can help me with. Fatsuma |
