Logic Tweeks?, logic tweeks? Options

[keety]

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.

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)...
