so dude. welcome to logic! it has amazing capabilities, but what it doesn't have is a dual g5 built in with 10,000rpm drives. i had all your problems. so i figured i'd throw another 2G into my setup with a dual g5, 2.0Ghz machine with 2 1/2 Gigs of RAM, two 7,200rpm drives, totalling over 300 gigs of space. i use logic pro7 and have a fresh OSX install, and i still get those errors. like david said to me while i was posting similar threads as you just did, "every machine has a limit." the fact is though: you don't make what you got with the best, its the other way around. although: you can start to learn tricks' one very common and easy one is to freeze your tracks. it is the same as bouncing them down. but bouncing them down and then option clicking your instruments to shut them off is my trick. then i have that audio file to play with , and whatever changeups i made, but also i can go back and edit the instrument tracks just by turning them back on. its faster than freezing and unfreezing every few minutes. also you can sometimes take all your tracks with reverbs or delays and send them to just one bus with that effect. that works if you have similar settings on your reverbs, etc. another thing is: if you're using like multiple battery instruments or what have you, just create one battery and load all those sounds and max it out. less is more. the best s#!+ in the world was made with computers 25% as powerful as yours. just remember that. but, yes, logic messes up for EVERYONE. sorry, and good luck. toiletooth http://www.myspace.com/toiletooth

by loop folder we mean the folder in which loops reside. drag that onto the window that your apple loops are displayed in, within logic. its easy and all the kids are doing it. but good luck making music, only certain people can do it well.

mix it down to audio file. use crossfade loop synth or battery or supatrigga to automate a slowdown. anything with pitchbend. that is the only digital way i can think of.

oh, i wasn't so angry. i just wish my favorite audio app was a bit more stable. about a year ago, i went all freeware. i use a cracked battery, which always works no matter what. anyone used battery2? i'm really curious. all my software is legal aside from that. and honestly, i am about to buy battery1 for like $30. so then i'll be fully legal. my gripes are that when a new logic comes out, our freeware plugins many times don't work for a little while. and so, YES i love logic, NO i'm not a pirate (as far as audio), and so on.... but wouldn't it be nice if there was a submenu option for editing sound bites with recycle on the fly? or HEY HOW ABOUT A RECYCLE PLUGIN ALTOGETHER? think of it, it'd be great. or a recycle version of something like crossfade loop synth. hey we should start a freeware plugin thread. i like those. ~toiletooth.

Yeah, I guess it's gonna cost an arm and a leg and also it'll be buggy and not really work with half your f$@%ing plugins and also oh yeah its not gonna work with your computer, you'll need to upgrade. ....Or did you mean release dates? toiletooth

how then do you dock the transport next to your tracks? like embed it.... i forgot. DAVID!

that link was to an artist called "Venetian Snares" here's a link to his "speedranch" live set- great. i love him i love him i love him. but you can't bite him, because honestly, you aren't able to. that is what happens when you don't use logic. hahahahahaha. frustrating, isn't it? he uses an old mod tracker written originally for the amiga, called octa med. yeah, very talented individual. glad you like what i like! you must be smart! love, toiletooth

it's true. venetian snares dude says he'll work hours on seconds of music. he's amazing. thanks david.

so someone asked about drum rolls...... but how in logic do you do the venetian snares/idm/squarepusher/every IDM dude ever "trick that is the stuttering jungle fade ins/fadeouts? do you know what i mean? its everywhere like a drum roll but it goes on longer. like a buffer underrun effect done right with automation. like a spring delayed stutter with more quantization. but also grows louder and softer and also changes its quantified values..... hard to explain with no audio loops..... but in this mp3 it happens quite a bit.... http://mp3.juno.co.uk/MP3/SF172271-01-04-02.mp3 please DAVID, can you answer this one? toiletooth.

thank you guys. and yes, we always want more and more until suddenly, we're americans. Toilets.

SO i just blew all my financial aid on a dual procressor g5 powermac, with two 160gig drives, 2.0GhzG5 DP, 1.5 gigs RAM, etc, etc. what i'm asking is to any of you masters out there who might know this- i previously owned only my g4 867Mhz Powerbook with 768RAM, and logic was always a little tricky. not tricky as in i'm not good with logic, but tricky as in OH WOW I CAN'T SEEM TO RUN MORE THAN 4 INSTRUMENTS WITH 3 EFX ON EACH, you know? so that is why i upgraded to the new beast of a machine that will get here on saturday. what i'm asking is- seriously! how often do you guys with dual g5 powermacs have to FREEZE TRACKS to KEEP WORKING on your songs? i had to do it so freakin often with the powerbook that i splurged and spent all my financial aid on this. don't get me wrong, there's no way i'll regret it, i just had to ask before i install logic 7.0.1 on the new machine- am i still gonna have to freeze tracks? and if so (which i'm sure happens) how much stuff you guys with dual g5's running before it boggs down, gives "disk to slow" messages, etc.???? please respond, masters of the logic. thanks for you time. not a newbie, toiletooth.

i've been asking fools that same freakin question for 2 years. thank you so much. *still glad i learned in matrix edit.
