Hi I'm new to this forum and farily new to logic. I'm running 5.5 on PC and have 2 gigs of RAM available. I'm currently working on a track and I have alot going on as far as audio files open and one audio instrument file open. Out of the the 24 audio files I believe I have patterns in about 22 of the files. My track is almost complete but everytime I try and add a new audio file and/or audio instrument and input the files in place of where I want them in the track. I'm getting a pop up saying not enough memory. Then it states undo history will not be available. This is very discouraging(sp?) because I need to add just one or two more audio files/ instruments to the track to complete it. Is there a way to prevent this memory error from occuring? I know it's not my hard drive as I have enough memory it's only in logic that this is happening. Any help would greatly be appreciated! Thanks!!

Modifying the system.ini may help, copy paste the text below to your sysyem.ini file and reboot. [vcache] MinFileCache�960 MaxFileCache�960 ------------------------------------------------------------------ And also this- ------------------------------------------------------------------ I have subsequently found that the most efficient way of switching between setups is to add an extra line to the boot.ini file (I'd only recommend this for advanced users, I don't want to risk messing up anyone's PC!): Under '[operating systems]' in boot.ini, I now have: 'multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect' (no quotes) This is the normal setup with 2Gig RAM. But the next line is: 'multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP for Logic" /fastdetect /maxmem24' The 'maxmem' part is added automatically by msconfig. But by having *both* lines in boot.ini, you are given a choice when you boot between the full RAM system (for general apps) and the limited 1Gig one (for logic). I'll be interested to hear how this works for people -- please ask if anything's unclear.
