Reaktor Session Using Logic 6.3.2

Is there anyone else out there that is having problems with Reaktorsession on a Mac using Logic ?

I am on a 17 inch Mac laptop 1 gig processor 1 gig ram using Logic 6.3.2 and each time(almost) i load up a essamble it crashes Logic.

I am using the M-audi Ozone as a soundcard and the weird thing is when i to get reaktor to work (for about 5 minutes) sometimes it resets the drivers of my soundcard , meaning the sound just droppes out and i have to go back to my drivers to reset them (wake them up).

Of course NI blames it in M-audio and M-auido on NI but the matter of the fact is i have never had any big problems with the Ozone drivers it is only since i installed Reaktor that logic now freezes each and everytime i load up Reaktor?

I did a test and went from using my Ozone drivers to using the coreaudio built in ones and same thing ,

Logic runs like a champ but as soon as i open Reaktor session and open a essamble Boem ...crash .

So it aint the drivers messing up i think they just get meesed up when using Reaktor and as i said using the built in ones (Coreaudio) same story.

anyhelp welcome!

Phatmatik/abelton Live

Hi there
I would like to ask you all for some advise.
I want chop up loops with some good program thats is suitable for this.
I am a logic user and Logic is a pain in that ass when trying to get loops in time or to slice them up.

This is my deal , what is the best way to chop up beats (say to get a loop in time and mabey take out the snare or kick)
I know phatmatik seems to do the trick but everyone is raving these days about Abelton live , what is the difference between the 2?

The music i like to make is (well i wish) Autechre /Aphix Twin kinda like.

Any help would be highly apriciated!!!!

To keep it short, what is the difference between Live & Phatmatik.
Can you lay down a keymap full of midi notes (beats) with Live as you can with Phatmatik?

The thing i like about phatmatik is that you can play the sliced up beats on your keyboard is this also the case with Live? or is Live just a program to get loops in time and put a effect on it here and there.

anyhow, would be great i ya could give me a bit of a explanation as i am ready to by one of them but don't want to mess up with getting the wrong one .

Many thanks
