Peace to all Mac gods.
im a mac virgin just got an old G4 350 with 570meg of ram.
i have a midi sport x2 and run an akai s3000xl and nord micro mod.
1. i suffer poor latency on 5 midi tracks.
2. i get asio problems with just a few instruments
what tweeks are needed to tighten it all up
i was told i have to do all the tweeks before you install logic, is that correct
i run os9.2 and logic 4.82
Any help would be wicked, cheers.

bump,
bump
come gods i need help, im considering getting the old P1 out cos it's tighter than the g4, help....

Hu ho…

Seem you're using a NmM
(wellcome! I'm an ex NmM now went to full expanded NMR

Maybe it is not logic nor mac related. Are you running the editor of the NM while your problem occurs? It is pretty demanding in computer ressources AND MIDI wise. It is a likely source for your problems.

On the MIDI side, if it's the editor the cause, use a different MIDI interface to connect the NM so the MIDI editor flow (HUUUUUGE) won't interfer with the rest (common issue both platform).

Power wise, if it's the case, do you need the editor while running your tracks?

If I'm not completly out in space, me the Mac God (it's me it's me ) I'd say subscribe to the nord modular list , especially for the question of the midi interface. IT IS NOT a weightless matter.

It's full of really competent (so deeply you're ashamed people.

hope I found out… else… well (logic gods somewhere ?

I knew a god would come to my rescue and many thanks and praise to you sir.
I am checking the link you so kindly gave me and i will be seeing about a MIDI interface to run the nmm on its own
Once again thank you for youre response it has helped no end.
hopefully this mac virgin will become a valued member of the board.

Peace to the gods...

have you tried the "classic" solution of assigning more memory to logic?
this always works. in case you don't know how to:
select(single click) the logic application (not it's folder).
press command (apple) and i (get info).
a little window pops up, at the top of the window is a pull down list that says general.
click on and hold down this list until you see the word memory.
select memory.
at the bottom of the window you now see minimum size and prefered size,
if you're running os 9.2 with 570meg of ram i would suggest making the prefered number 470000 and the minimum 200000.
this will leave plenty of ram for the system, with some spare incase you boot another app whilst logic is running!
to give you an idea, logic is a memory hog. i give logic a prefered 800000!
that of course is 800meg.
stay in touch, good luck (luck=labour under correct knowledge)...

Thanks damann, this is exactly the kind of grassroots thing I always forget with newbiesÉ

I may add that a memory partition for obvious (binary wise) reasons should be set to a multiple of 512 or 1024É (damann you're feeding your Logic too well, he'll get fat )

hope it's only that, the nm is a more tricky thing (but fÉ great)

If the problem is Nord related keety is now on the NMlist so on good hands. Some of the guys are terrific (in a competent way

(BTW on the NMlist I'm no more a god but a lord )

If he doesn't give us the answer, I'll pass the message from the nmlist.

I'e allready posted a long list of tips here, that may help you:
