From the RAM limit to the CORE limit...

Question

I was thinking that Bidule (Plogue) is a good way to expand RAM Logic limit, but at the end it definetely shrinks to to be a way to add 2 or max 3 instruments to Logic possibilities (because of Rewire one core limit). If I use an Ivory and an Omnisphere plug I already get the Rewire core meter of Logic going near the top
(I have a 2x3 Intel Xeon Quad Core)
So, from the RAM limit to the CORE limit.....
And I think also that the hard criticised Spectrasonics Atmosphere and Trilogy plugins wrappers, now reveal very very useful for saving my Logic RAM expansion possibilities...
And about Logic 9..nothing mentioned on 64 bit support....

Answer 1

If file size is the biggest concern, once you've cleared out
all items
you don't need any longer, try:
1. Doing a Save As, then a Save As again. Often, for whatever
reason,
this finally gets rid of old, unused objects.
2. Create a new project and import the existing project's
slides. This
can have the same effect.
In my experience, the first is better for reducing file sizes
and the
second is better for getting rid of any playback anomalies.
Otherwise, a better approach for what you're doing, again in
my
experience, would be to cut up the audio outside of Captivate
into one
file per slide (using a tool like Audacity), import them all
into the
library, then add each individually. That's our standard
process and
we've yet to experience these huge, bloated CP files (knock,
knock).
