Hello, My setup is a dual 1.8 G5 with 3 GB RAM. I recently had problems with the East West Gold library crashing Logic, but after unplugging everything because of lightning in the area and then replugging, Gold worked again. I was able to build up a little latin funk tune using an Apple loops loop, live electric bass on an audio track, the Steinway B sample from the Gold library for a piano comp track, but when I added an English horn sample from the Miroslav Philharmonic library, Logic crashes. Did it several times. Battery is also loaded as part of the autoload, but I wasn't recording with it. The only other plugin is the IK Ampeg pluggin used on the bass. Nothing else- no Space Designer reverbs or other CPU hogs. I can't believe that this is much of a demand on the system, so why is Logic crashing? Logic is on one drive, and all the samples are on a separate drive, and Logic records to a third drive. The Samples drive is the same model as the drive for recording, a Rockstor FW 400 7200 drive, which has been fine for over a year to record to. Logic is working without problem otherwise. I know my rig is starting to get old, but one loop and three instruments hardly seems like it would be much of a strain on it. James Irelan
