JCcares Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 My Imac crashed several times during comp edit.It was a pretty bad experience,specially when I'm still fresh on the comp editing scene so I would like to know what went wrong. I recorded a 15 minute speech on a project on a 48000 sample rate.The project also contained about 8 audio tracks about 15 minutes long.The crashes began to come when I tried editing the 15 min speech. This is how I went about editing the speech.(Except for a few overdubs the speech was pretty much a single take,although I stopped & started from stop position about 4 times during recording.)While editing I had to cut several portions of the speech & move it forward since I had to cut out the pauses to save time.In comp edit mode I would say I cut & moved take regions about a 100 times!( I did cut the top portion of the take,ie the first layer on the take list & I'm not sure if I should have cut the lower portion(s) of the comp layers instead of the one on top.) I did not add effects except some reverb & EQ.This is as best as I can explain it unless there was a way to take a pic internally of how the track looks right now after editing. The computer crashed about 5 times during the editing process.I would like to know what could be the cause,including room temp since the room was pretty warm & the Imac was on for about 5 hrs.Also is there anyway I could estimate the power used by a song/project so I could free up some tracks,effects etc to avoid a crash? Thanks for your replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
