Not sure if anyone else has come accross this.
Mac spec Powermac G5 dual 2.7ghz 2 gb ram 250gb serial ata ati radeon 9650 RME Fireface 800 Logic Pro 7.1 Reason 3 Whenever I start Logic my hard drive starts a failry high pitch whining noise. If I then add Reason via Rewire - it gets worse? Has anyone else come accross this? |

do any of the settings in 'hardware and drivers' affect the noise...you have a few to play with ie
reducung the number of tracks? more friendly disk handling or not? buffer size? try lowering your maximum recording time in the 'set audio record path' dialog? How about moving your logic samples /audo files / exs instruments etc to an external drive to take some load off the internal. Same goes for your refils etc. Use disk utility in the utilities folder to run repairs on your drive then see what happens ( you'll need to boot from an install cd / dvd to run all options on your internal drive, run 'disk utility' from the menu rather than doing an install ). Have you found 'activity monitor' yet? when you run this it reports on all operations going on in your mac, it's useful information and may give you clues as to what's happening. If you can prove the drive is functioning out of specification, and they have a decibel spec, then surely you've got a better chance of getting some applecare? -------------------- Simon Flinn
