Logic's Dreaded "disc Too Slow" Error Message! Options

[hahaworld]

Basic things you need to know that you won't find in the Logic manual:

1. Logic is a 32-bit program. If you have a 64-bit Mac, Logic simply will not recognize all that power. Until Apple releases a 64-bit version of Logic, we are all just going to have to find ways around the Slow Disc Errors.

2. A call to Apple tech support about this issue is a wasted call.

3. Max out your RAM! This is crucial especially if you want to have several virtual instrument tracks.

4. Keep your samples on a separate INTERNAL SATA drive. If you put your samples on an external hard drive, Logic will not be able to keep up with the transfers.

5. Record audio to an external drive.

6. On second thought, call Apple tech support. If enough people call and ask them why they are so hush-hush about Logic's slow performance and when they are going to update it, they might actually start doing the responsible thing and letting us know.

Yes, my #2 and #6 have some smart-alek attitude in them, but I've been dealing with slow disk errors since July, '06 when I bought my pre-Intel G5 Quad, naively expecting it to leave my 1.33 GHz laptop in the dust, only to find out that my 4-year-old laptop outperforms my brand spanking new Quad by leaps and bounds, then dealing with the complete lack of information from Apple tech support on the issue.

The good news is, the guys and gals on this forum have got me up and running pretty well at this point. May riches, honor and glory come to all you wonderful people in '07! You've really helped me out. I hope this list helps some of you other fine folks who are encountering the slow disk errors as well.

Thanks Haha, people helped you here, and you help others now, that's all it's about

There's some issues with Logic, but if Logic users are not talkative about (and I'm not one) how can it be known enough so Apple can't stop hearing it. As Apple representatives are around (we know it, no boast) first things for issues about Apple hardware and software is to tell it in the most detailed way and eventually have a go in Apple support forums too (detailed and polite). It will dive in the to-do list of their engineers. (hopehopehope)

And alway submit your feedback thru Logic's Feedback menu.
It's in menu Logic Pro > Provide Pro Logic Feedback
You can also go directly to: http://www.apple.com/feedback/logicpro.html

I know this is one of the first places Apple engineers and productmanagers look for items to put on the list. And the more we all give feedback on a issue the more priority it will get!

let's rock....
