I'm not very clear on how to read the CPU window. I have a dual proc G4. The CPU window is broken into 2 main sections (Audio vs. Disk I/)), and the Audio meter is in turn broken into two separate meters, each representing one of the 2 processors in my Mac (as I've been told). I'm just not clear which processor performs which task. I've maxed out the right side, and therefore get ASIO performance failure messages at certain points in my current song. I've tried freezing tracks that send to reverbs via sends, but it doesn't seem to help terribly much. What are all the things that max out that right meter? Do crossfades contribute to the load at all? Also, how do I freeze tracks and their respective bus send destinations (e.g., reverbs)? I notice that when I freeze tracks that send to these buses, it does not seem to make much of a difference in the CPU meter, so I figure this is not freezing the reverb itself. I'm sure I'm misunderstanding this. Any help is appreciated! Thanks, David

Lets look at each one.. 1st. In OSX you have no control over making your processors do anything. OSX is optimized for dual processors, so you only see the one meter for audio. 2nd. OS9 in single processor mode. 1st, open you audio drivers prefs. Check the dual processor support. reboot. you will then have 2 meters, an audio meter with 2 level meters, and the one disc I/O meter, which will look the same but will be thicker. OS9 dual mode meters are as follows.. The audio meter is divided into 2 parts.. 1st midi graphics, live inputs, busses. 2nd meter, audio dsp. The fat meter is disc I/O and is to let you know how much data is being streamed from the hard disc to the app. Now the way to make your computer work with all the available dsp is to add an I/O helper to an audio track, which will make it appear as a live input to Logic, and it will use the 1st half of the audio meter.. Hope this helps..

Lets look at each > one.. I'm really confused. I have a dual processor 1.25 gig G4. Multiprocessor support is checked in the audio prefs. I open the system performance window, but I see one display with two meters- left meter says audio, right says disk i/o. My audio meter is not divided into 2 parts. Wazzup with that? James

Gareth OS9.22, Logic 6 on a Dual 533 (upgraded to a dual 1.2Ghz) Very definitely 2 audio meters on mine 'cause I like to use the I/O plug in trick to see if I can overload the left one before the right one ..just for kicks! I'm a little weird, I admit it. gareth

They definitely do... :-) You might try this: Make sure that you have the Apple CPU Plugins sitting in a folder called Multiprocessing in your system extensions folder. That did the trick on my system: 1.25DP G4, Logic 6, OS 9.2.2. Without I had just one audio meter.
