"Copy ESX instruments..." will this help audio engine / CPU efficiency?

I am limping along on a PowerBook G4, so please excuse the old laptop, but maybe someone can help me:
I have an external FW Glyph drive (7200rpm) with all my Logic sounds, including EXS and Ultrabeats, Jam Packs, and other virtual instrument libraries. I have hit some "system overload" moments when playing some sounds such as "Asian Kit", which seem to have a large number of samples within the sounds.
Hence, under Project Settings > Assets, I see that you can check "Copy EXS instruments to project folder". (I currently have checked "Copy External Audio Files to project folder" and "Convert audio file sample rate when importing". I am at 24 bit / 48 kHz.)
My question is: If I check "Copy ESX instruments...", will this aid in my slow CPU speed? I.e., will the sounds be read any quicker off the Glyph if they are copied into the project folder?
Aside from that, is there another way to setup sounds so that the CPU runs most efficiently?
Thanks for your help.

if your samples and project are located in same FW disk, I don't think that copy samples in the project folder can be helpful... but it is very easy to check... just do it and see the result.
you can try to reduce the EXS24 voices numbers from 64 (defalut) to 16 or so... don't forget to freeze your tracks
I can also suggest 2 or 3 different more "radical" experiment for adding power...
1) try to instal the system in your external Firewire and use the Powerbook internal for save the project.
2) you should change the Powerbook Internal disk with a 320GB?
3) have you tryied to add a PCI slot for external eSata drives?
Important note: remember... in any case your PowerBook G4 is not a super fast machine... so... my suggestion should not be able to help so much!
I only hope to be helpful.
Thanks

Your suggestion of breaking up the export to pdf into sections of pages was excellent. I don't know why I didn't think of it...maybe because I was in panic mode.
For anyone else who experiences this problem, I exported 50-page sections to pdf with no problem. I now have 7 hi-res pdfs, but that's no problem. The printer should have no problem dealing with it. No error messages came up.
The only thing I can think of is that InDesign couldn't export that many documents (148) in the book palette to hi-res pdf, and it has no error message available to explain the cause—either outside ID's ability to process or out of memory, even though I have 16G of RAM.
Thanks again for your help!

Sound is not working for Siri, voice mail, ringer tones, movies or music. I was told by verizon that the speaker maybe out, but that i might want to try and reload or update my itunes by plgging into my home computer... will this help and if so how do I do this?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

I like to start my morning by looking at my email first thing in the morning it helps my brain get jumpstarted and gives me a jump on the events of the day.I keep my iPhone encased in an Otter Box. Will this help protect it from steam when I take shower?

I like to start my morning by reading my emails that came in during the night. This jumpstarts my brain and gives me an edge on the events of the day. Since my wife is still asleep when I get up I do this in the bathroom while I'm getting ready. I keep my iPhone 4 encased in an Otter Box case. Will this protect the phone from steam damage or should I thow it in a drawer while I take a short shower?

TMI dude.
You should be asking this to Otterbox but I'm guessing it depends on the specific Otterbox case... check the case specs at Otterbox.
IMO, I would just leave it outside the bathroom... I'm sure your email can wait a few extra minutes.

Will this help with windows vista u tube not playing in full screen?

I have windows vista and hadn't seemed able to get full screen to work with u tube. I tried going to google chrome and then to the u tube page. Click on the icon in the address bar that shows www.youtube.com ( It's on the left next to the address ). This shows you view site information. Run you cursor error over each permission on the right. You are allowed to change each permission to allowed by you. I allowed by clicking on each one all but the: locations, notifications, mouselock, and media. When you are done, you may click outside of this box to have it go away. The you tube page will ask you to reload to have permissions take effect. After I did this I also went to the box to customize and control google chrome wich is way up in the right corner either having three small lines or may be a gear box. I clicked on this and went to tools and then clicked on extensions. It will show you google docs, mcafee, or whatever you have. I went down and clicked on get more extensions. This should bring you to chrome web store. The search is up on the left. type in : window expander for youtube and hit the enter key. click on add to chrome next to the window expander appliction. I exited out and went back to you tube. My videos play in full screen. Hope this can help someone.

None of the new models released this week have any sort of DVI port. They all use a new graphics port called the Mini DisplyPort. This port does not adhere to the DVI standards because it is a new standard in itself. Google DisplayPort and you can find some technical info on it.
Apple has said that this will become the graphics port on all of its products in the future.

HT201342 Why do I need a iCloud address I really don't understand what e iCloud is? I'd like to sync calendars from my iPad to my Mac will this help we achieve this open to anyone's input w previews experience!

Why do I need an iCloud email address? I mean I know I already have one set up but have never activated it what is the benefit?
Also does it make it easier to sync items between devices ie I'd like to get the calendar on my iPad 2 to transfer to my MacBook pro and vice versa.
Is it possible to activate iCloud syncing with out the iCloud email?
Any advice would be much appreciated

You can go to Settings>iCloud and enter you Apple ID to set up your account, then turn on syncing for the data you want to sync. If you don't want to use iCloud email, don't turn Mail to On. If you're Mac is runniing OS X 10.7.2 or later, you can sync it with your iCloud account. You do this by going to System Preferences>iCloud, signing into your iCloud account, then checking the data you want to sync with iCloud (see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html).
If you sync your calendar on both your phone and your Mac with your iCloud account, then will remain in sync using iCloud.

I have an iMac G5 OS 10.4.11 OS 9 is also installed. Can I remove OS 9 safely? Will this help my speed?

Two questions -
I have an iMac G5 with OS 10.4.11. OS 9 is also on the computer. Can I safely remove OS 9? Will removing it help my processing speed?

If you remove OS 9, all Classic applications will fail to run, as shown by the System Profiler in the Applications or Applications -> Utilities folder:
Not running Classic will speed Mac OS X application speed, but you needn't remove the system folder, or the Applications Mac OS 9 folder. You just need to make sure Classic is not running in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Classic, and is shut down if it is running. Removing the System Folder with the Finder and System files and the Control Panels folder will disable Classic as well. I would only do so, if you are sure oyu never need a Classic application again.
Upgrading to Mac OS X 10.5 will stop you from being able to use Classic in any case.

Error message - please help! "This copy of iTunes will expire in 113 hours"

Hello,
I opened up iTunes today and received this popup which said "This copy of iTunes will expire in 113 hours". I have never seen anything like this and have no idea why. I only ever use iTunes on my one laptop. I use Leopard and have iTunes version 9.2f1 (45) installed.
The only thing I can possibly think of really is that I had the general release of OS4.0 on my iPhone rather than the public release.
Can anyone assist?

Completely removing a beta before installing is always the recommended procedure. That way one can be sure that all beta components have been removed; an installer may not always overwrite a beta version since it may not be clearly identified to the installer as such.
Regards.

Clicking on help menu causing audio engine to bug out

anyone having issues with logics audio engine bugging out after clicking on the top help menu while logic is playing? not sure how to explain what it sounds like when this happens but i have to reboot my audio engine for it to go away.... i primarily work at 96k and have tried all other sample rates and still get the same thing...
jsd

I started having this issue a while back (late December/early January) and have gone through several things but have yet to get a resolution. The latest was a technical support call with Apogee (I'm running a Symphony system). Their assessment was that the problem is not Apogee-related and lives within Logic.
The problem, on my system, can also be triggered by several other actions. For example, if I click the solo button on one track and then slide across the channel strip to solo a group of track I will get distorted audio. The workaround is to either restart Logic or go to preferences and make a change that forces a core audio reset. I have been able to work around the issue but it's still an issue and I'm hoping to find a solution that doesn't involve clean Logic re-install or even fresh OS install.
I looked all over trying to find other people having this issue. So far I've only managed to find a couple folks seeing this problem. Mostly, I just wanted to chime in and add to the list of users experiencing the issue and let you know that I'll gladly post any relevant information that I come across that will enable to us to solve the problem.

my cousin gino orffitelli who's mainly a gamer builder for his company ePro had this to say in an email to me last nite.. he gave kool props to the adobe forums
'finally had a few min read through your email and skim the links you made in adobe'.....'as far as storage is concerend i believe the mobo's your looking at support RAID and from what i read thanks to your links, RAID 5 offers the best performance and saftey which means 4 HDD's.....' with the knowlege base your building and contacts u have you and i may just open a new direction for ePRO'.....
i try my hardest to understand RAID but since i'm a novice with computers its really hard for me to grasp it...http://forums.adobe.com/thread/525263
my brain is in overload insane trying to process all this (:
so guys... RAID 5 with the rest of the hardware i'll be using ?
like i said i'd like to have the max performance for my audio/vidio rig.

HT4914 I purchased iMatch because my old computer was failing and I was afraid of losing my music library. Now I bought a new laptop; what is the best way for me to transfer my library to my new laptop? Will iMatch help me do this?

I purchased iMatch because my old computer was failing and I was afraid of losing my music library. Now I bought a new laptop; what is the best way for me to transfer my library to my new laptop? Will iMatch help me do this?

Is/was failing or has failed?
If the old computer still runs one of these methods may be best.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
I don't have personal experience with iTunes Match, but in principle you should be able to download all the tracks currently registered to your iTunes Match account. This isn't quite the same as restoring your previous library exactly as it was. There is always the potential for iTunes match to provide the wrong version of a song and could be content such as movies, podcasts, audiobooks etc. that would have been excluded.

Audio engine overloaded (this is not the usual problem!)

Hi people
it's so frustrating I could cry. This is not the usual "I have 10 software synth running and get overload message".
Bottom line is: Even with a new project and logic stopped the CPU meters go up to 100%. It happens every 5 - 15 secs. What is strange that the system monitor does not show these spikes. I know it's just sampling but at least some of the spikes should be caught by the monitor. But it's steady at around 10-15% user and system. There is of course no other process eating cpu.
Console looks like this:
Mar 5 00:34:13 noname Logic Pro[902]: Audio engine overloaded, resetting
Mar 5 00:34:43: --- last message repeated 1 time ---

I swear: yesterday everything was fine. Now it's not working anymore. I'm a developer with 10 years coding and debugging experience but I can't find the solution. I had this problem before. Everything was running smoothly for months and one bad day the problem started. I could not find a solution till I gave up and reinstalled the whole system which took me about 3 days to get everything in place again. Again everything fine for about 3 months.
Not matter what I try - deleting prefs. Starting logic as a new user. Reinitializing everything. Doesn't help. Is there anybody out there who had that problem too? I don't want to reinstall everything again.
Cheers,
Daniel

I using a Line6 TonePort (I am a guitarist).
To make sure that its not the drive (though nothing changed there) I switched setting to internal audio - but that didn't change a thing.
And yes I tried the basics. I also disabled all plugins / AUs in the AU-Manager but I haven't tried to move them away. Give that a try this eve.
It's really strange. It doesn't matter wether it's a new empty project or any other that worked with no probs. Even if logic is stopped and there's no input monitoring: CPU load is flat and then every xyz secs boooom 100%. And its real because it actually interrupts the sound of my guitar or whatever.
I might have to dig deeper and see if I find any tracing tools which might provide more info..
Aaaaargh!
The only thing I actually might tried the first time yesterday evening which I haven't done before is a roland vdrum via midi to ultrabeat but how could that mess things up? I dunno ...

"Copy ESX instruments..." will this help audio engine / CPU efficiency?
