Hi
I have a Powerbook 15" 1.67hz 512 mb ram and a 80gb 5400rpm hard drive and a Terratec Phase 24 firewire soundcard. I have installed all my software ( Logic Pro 7.01 and Kontakt 2.01 ) and started to do some recordings. I was using a loop in track 1 , a EVP 88 with a tape delay and nothing else. I recorded thru the digital ins a 24 bit stereo file coming from a 01V Yamaha digital mixer. When I started to listen to the audio files ( 15 to 20 minutes )they were good in some places and terribly bad in others with lots of crackles. Does the OSX run some kind of background application that was interfering with the recording process ? Are there any tips to fine tune OSX in a Powerbook for audio production ? Are my Powerbook specs enough for this job or do I have to buy an external disk just to record a simple 24 bit stereo file ? Thank you Alex |

Max out your RAM, with 512MB you are forcing the OS to use your hard drive for virtual memory, not a good idea when trying to do hard disk recording.
You also need a 7200rpm firewire hard drive dedicated for audio files. I have a 1GHZ powerbook with firewire drive and MOTU 828, no problems with sessions of 32-48 stereo tracks.
