Hello All,
This question may have been asked before, but I couldn't find a clear discussion concerning my problem in this forum.
I am using Logic 8.0.2 on my dual G5 CPU running under Mac OS X 10.5. I am running out of CPU and tried freezing tracks to minimize the problem (which is supposed to be the solution since plug-ins aren't supposed to use CPU when a track is frozen). That didn't help at all.
I was initially using separate VI but thought that might be a problem of overall resource usage. I tried to switch to VE to pack all VIs into a more compact environment, but that didn't change anything. It even seemed to make things worse. I looked at the CPU consumption using the "Activity Monitor" utility, and it looks like the amount of CPU used by the VE doesn't change at all even when a track is frozen. Pressing the "Stop Engine" button didn't change anything either.
Can anybody help explaining this or, even better, suggest a solution or a workaround?
Thanks
