pkirst Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Computer: G5 Dual 2Ghz, 2.5 GB RAM, two internal hard drives Logic 7.1 OS 10.4.8 Really weird: Whenever Logic is running, the main internal hard drive goes crazy. NO INSTRUMENTS are loaded into Logic - NOTHING, no video, just an empty template. Even if I close that template the noise is still there. When I close Logic the noise is gone. ANY IDEAS? I did: repair permissions, used different Logic songs, played with audio hardware latencies. But even the Logic internal CPU usage is at ZERO. Activity Monitor shows one peak after another. No other programs are running. Quite desperate Thanks for any advice P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xs4is Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Just in case, you should copy that hard drive to another because that *could* be the beginning of drive failure. Hopefully not, but better safe then sorry. X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkirst Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 The thing is that the weird noise ONLY exists when LOGIC is open. Once I close LOGIC the computer is running fine and without any noise... ANY MORE SUGGESTIONS? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the sinner Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 The thing is that the weird noise ONLY exists when LOGIC is open. Once I close LOGIC the computer is running fine and without any noise... ANY MORE SUGGESTIONS? P Try streaming movies from your samples drive in Quick Time. Try running another audio program which uses that drive. Try to isolate that it is the drive to make sure it is not faulting. -MB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkirst Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 - There is no movie file loaded in LOGIC. - No other (audio) app behaves that way - The drive seems fine once I quit LOGIC - No samples are loaded - nothing is streaming... STILL WEIRD HARD DRIVE NOISE. Activity Monitor shows one peak after another. Logic's System Performance shows NOTHING on both Disk I/O and CPU meters... Could it be a version conflict (7.1 versus OS 10.4.8) ??? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I did: repair permissions, used different Logic songs, played with audio hardware latencies. Try quitting Logic, moving this whole folder to the desktop and restart Logic: ~/Library/Preferences/Logic/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkirst Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 David, unfortunately, no success... would you consider re-installing and updating Logic? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred B Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 What happens if you disable the audio driver in Logic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Activity Monitor shows one peak after another. What peaks? CPU? RAM? Drive? ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkirst Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 Hi David, it is the drive that peaks in the Activity Monitor. It reads and WRITES - very strange - so I get red and green peaks - CONSTANTLY. I will update Logic to version 7.2 now... Hope this helps... Any more ideas?
