Logic Crashing, Too much audio? Options

[jen123456]

Hi boys,
Logic keeps crashing. I've got a G5 dual processor power mac. I'm trying to play a song that has lots of audio and plug ins etc. but everytime it crashes as soon as it starts playing. Have I got the settings wrong? I wasn't sure how I should have the buffer settings and whether I should be chaning these for recording and then again for playback? I've tried playing around with these but I'm not sure what I'm doing and if this is even what I should be doing? Just read another post...should I buy an external hard drive?

Any ideas?

Jen.

Thanks yep, My computer does the software updates itself (it asks of course) so I think that's why I didn't need to buy the disc and try and do it myself...silly me! Yeah I already went to Sonikmatter but got no response, hence I tried a few forums but this is the only one which I got a response from. Thank you. I did read through them all though. Other advice I was given by a friend was; to check the CPU usage and I'm not sure how and to defrag the computer....again I don't know how to do this on a mac. I really think the problem was too much audio....I guess it just can't handle that much audio, plug ins and effects? (I had approx 40 tracks of audio and a grand piano plug in and effects etc....All of my other songs were working just not this one with lots of audio. Anyway in the end I've started from scratch again, frozen my plug in, merged all the vocals (and I'll just re-do them after I've got the rest of the track done) etc. etc. And now it's working...but I was really disappointed that i've had to do it this really long winded way!?! ...but that's only 'cause I'm a beginner I'll get used to it!

So should I download Onyx to defrag/maintain?

Thanks again for your help.
