Aggregate Device or CPU?


Pull Hair Out Studio

Recommended Posts

Hi, just registered.

Used Logic Platinum for years on PC. Decided to switch to Imac Intel core duo 2.33, 2Gb Ram, and Logic Pro 7.

I have two Interfaces running on Aggregate device (Focusrite Saphire & Mackie Onyx 1620) via Firewire direct to Imac. I mainly use the FS for recording me (2-3 tracks audio - Vocals with Acoustic Guitar and Midi guide tracks) and for outputs to headphones & monitors. Basically the mother interface! The Mackie is used for extra inputs for drum kits, live room band etc + general rigging of external devices + it will be handy to do live recordings when i get the Pro Book! During my first session on the new gear, using 2 tracks at same time, a window came up saying 'Disk too slow', and it crashed. I have recorded many tracks on the old Logic on PC and never crashed!

Is this a CPU problem or is it something to do with aggregate device??? Should I get an external processor? Should I get a different interface? Should I use only 1 interface? I have a band coming in next week with drums, if it crashes recording acoustic guitar, what will it do with a drum kit?!

Have phoned Apple but it takes ages to go through to the right person. When I get to the person, he usually has a unfamiliar accent and is hard to understand. No offence. + and + and + and ..... I have configured the aggregate device to use the FS as all outputs, when I was using Wave Burner the other day, the outputs came out through my Mackie!??? There were no configurations telling it to do so??? Help! [/b]
