| Can anyone tell me whether Im wasting my time trying to make music on logic express on mac osx with only 512 mb of ram, would that cause the software to crash & quit unexpectedly ? |

Installing and authorizing Logic Express 7
Before you install Logic Express 7, you should ensure that your Macintosh meets the minimum system requirements.
Hardware requirements
•
Power Mac G4
•
512 megabytes (MB) of random-access memory (RAM)
Software requirements
Logic Express 7 requires Mac OS X version 10.3 (or higher). It is recommended that you use the latest Mac OS X version available.
==========/////==============
According to the install checklist you have the minimum so it should be OK, I'd look into that OS X version 10.3 or higher thang. |

Probable not the memory.
You turn off EVERYTHING that needs processor time before recording or is it dedicated? |

Ok, by dedicated I mean NO internet access existists or is being used while the recording software is running, No screensavers waitng to come on, ESPECIALLY NO Virus protection OR Firewall software...Nothing else is or will be running while the recording is taking place.
I assume you use the same system to record AND keep up with these forums...so it is not dedicated as of yet.
If I am wrong, sorry, but I do not know your environment except for the little bit you tell me. |

Logic Express has recently started to quit during loadup of one or two songs I'm working on.
I'm running 7.1.1 on a 900 MHZ G3 with 640 MB RAM in 10.4.8 It's always run really well, and still does with most tracks. I'm pushing 30 + tracks of audio and 8 or 9 .EXS instruments, plus effects. The tracks that are crashing Logic aren't even particularly busy or overloaded with audio at this point. Any ideas? |
