Ok Advice required here-I ve just spent a week doing this-
I made the plunge from my old and trusted G4 last week and bought a brand new Mac Intel 8 core 2.26
Problem number one-Apple shop could not supply me with a new computer with OSX Leopard installed- Only OSX Snow Leopard-Ok I thought I d just reinstall 10.5 over 10.6-I was told that it would be most unadvisable to do this as it could seriously cause problems with the firmware etc on the new computer-So I decided to go ahead with 10.6 Snow Leopard.
I installed ProTools 8.3 (snow leopard compatible)- By the way I use a Magma expansion chassis PE64r 6 slot with HD 5-
I did the OSX software update to 10.6.2
It booted up fine-It ran like a dream
I then spent around three days downloading scores and scores of TDM plugins that I own and installed them all along with various RTAS plugins that I own-ie Nexus synth-Spectrasonics RMX-
All fine (Sonnox plugins-Serato Pitch N Time-Spectrasonics Trilogy etc still not OSX 10.6 compatible So I left those until they become available)
I then installed Logic 9 .0 then I downloaded and installed 9.0.2
It booted up fine-Found the TDM hardware-had a bit of a problem with DTDM which I knew about(I wont work with my expansion chassis!) So I disabled that and used CoreAudio instead.
I then went about making up my template from scratch then the problems began=
The more and more Tracks I created in the environment the slower the screen draws seemed to get etc-In fact Logic as a whole became rather lethargic- When I opened up the Digidesign Hardware box to change DAE settings etc the Top Menus within the Logic Arrange had various options missing etc In fact some of the Menu Headers disappeared alltogether! Occasional crashes then started happening but Logic always saved the song as Autoload(crashed) So I never fully lost anything when I rebooted-
in total in the Mixer environment I had as follows
64 x stereo DAE tracks (Less than average for me!I often ran 100+ stereo DAE tracks on my G4)
16 x stereo DAE Aux for reverb returns etc
12 X stereo DAE EXS24 instruments
4 X stereo DAE Indigo Virus soft synths
8 X stereo DAE Line ins (for outboard synths-outboard efx etc)
1 X stereo DAE Line in (Optical from the core audio Optical port on the MAC
to bring core audio back into my TDM environment)
5 x stereo Master Output 96i DAE outputs
4 x stereo Master Output Apogee AD8000SE DAE outputs
20 x Stereo -Core Audio Soft Synths etc
This mixer environment is no bigger than I ever ran on my G4 1.42 dual setup that I used since 2003-So I thought that this new Mac Intel would eat the old G4 alive-
Now Im getting all sorts of crap-Crashes -Audio distortion etc-Logic just seems too unstable now
Any Ideas? How about I get rid of OSX 10.6 and go back to 10.5 then reinstall Logic 8 with ProTools 8.0.1 or 8.0.2? I feel I ve just wasted my life away! Please does any one on here have a working version with 9.1 and logic 8.0.3?
Advice would be appreciated Thanks
