Hi folks, which extensions do you have disabled to have the best performance with live?
joh,
Someone on the Logic Forum posted this list of extension tips there:
(see http://community.sonikmatter.com/emagic ... 6;t=000442)
OK, I finally got around to outputting as a text file the 9.2.1 minimum extension set for Mac OS 9.2.1
NOTE: This assumes NO networking, filesharing, websharing, or stuff like that. This is bare minimum that will give you the highest performance focused DAW.
Note: I have an ATI card in my machine, so there are ATI support files. If you have an nVidia card, or Matrox, or whatever then keep those in your set.
Note: I use AMT-8s as my midi interfaces. If you use something else then insure you keep either all the OMS control panels and extensions or FreeMIDI control panels and extensions. If you're not sure what these are, set up this extension set then re-install your MIDI subsystem.
Note: Since you're turning off networking, you also have to turn off QuickTime Streaming or you'll get a nag aleart every time you restart. Not a problem just nagging. Go into the System Folder>Extensions>QUicktime Extensions and get rid of the "QuickTime Streaming" extension.
Don't do this willy-nilly. Do it right, and recoverably. Use the Extension Manager control panel.
Open that control panel and duplicate your current extension set, rename that new set to "DAW Extensions" or something, and do all your unchecking of check boxes in that. Then you can recover if you make a mistake or things work funny.
Note: If things fail, you can invoke the Extensions Manager by holding down the space bar when you boot your machine. Do this and you can then choose the default extension set, restart, and everything will be fine.
Same with audio card, I have a Delta 1010 in this machine, keep the appropriate thing for your audio in.
OK, here is the minimum set of extesions and control panels for a stable Mac OS 9.2.1 DAW.
