effemix Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Hello, i'm startin to get the famous "system overload" message when recording. I', using low sample for low latency, but only using 1 disk to do all the stuff. How do i configure logic to record to another disc? i just save the project in the secondary disc?? thank you very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Stephens Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I haven't thought about it too much, but I think that's pretty much it. Where ever you save the project Logic 8 makes an audio folder for the recoded files. Remember that when a hard drive is 50% full, the read and write speed begin to reduce as the drive becomes more full. I use 3 internal drives on my Mac Pro, striped in a raid-0 configuration, for speed. My system rates around 200 megs per second. Also if you use a firewire drive, note that the data speed reduces, with more drives on the firewire bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Yes, save your project including assets on your media drive. I recommend against using RAID, which will usually give you slower performance (increased seek time) with audio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whospilgrim Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I have all of my save files on my external firewire 800 drive and it works well. Just did a 3 mic drum recording session the other day with no problems. Didn't do to bad when I had a firewire 400 external either. Essentially once an external mounts Mac uses it pretty much like an internal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
