Hi. I'm new to both Logic and to hard disk recording in general. I'm curious what sort of performance I should be able to squeeze out of my system in terms of stable audio tracks (simultaneous playback and recording). I have a 7300/180 with 180M of RAM, and 2 4G SCSI drives dedicated to recording (my OS and Logic are on a separate 2G SCSI drive). I'm running MacOS 8 and Logic Audio Gold 4.05. I'm using a MOTU 2408 as my audio interface via ASIO. Being new to this I'm also curious what steps I should take to optimize my system. I know from poking around that I should low level format my 4G drives and install asynchronous drivers, but I'm not sure if I have the software to do this (can the drivers be installed with Apple's "Drive Setup"?). Beyond that I'm looking for any tips on what I can do to optimize the performance of my setup. I'd prefer not to wipe out the 2G drive; my data and applications have lived on it for a long time. Thanks for any pointers. dean. -- dean hudson, <deanh@...> research fellow, esoteric research organization
