Too much Sculpture?

Hi all,
For my course I have to do a piece of work using only Sculpture to create a "real sounding" sound design for a piece of video. In total there are about 40 to 60 different sounds I need to create=lots of Sculptures!
At the minute I'm running about 9 instances of Sculpture and a 24.6mB video clip through Logic. (I also have a fair bit of automation running too)
Problem is it's all getting to be a bit too much for my poor iMac. I know this is all power and RAM hungry stuff, but question is, how many instances of Sculpture can I sensibly expect my computer to be able to handle? Also, what is the best way to get around this? Should I compress the video down,should I start bouncing out some audio into another session, or would freezing the tracks help?
I also need to be able to keep all my instances of Sculpture, and it would be nice if i could keep them all in the same session..is there a way I could keep all the instances of Sculpture in one session!?
Sorry it's so many questions all in one hit! Thanks for any help.

mate you are definitely going about this the wrong way!!
what to do is design each sound carefully - and i would not necessarily use sculpture to achieve this, then export the midi region as an audio file. if you export them as a wav, you can then import them into a different song, hit move audio to original position and all your individually hand crafted sounds will line up in their correct position. you will use wayyy less resources.
sculpture won't necessarily make things more realistic - it is much better for creating otherworldly sounds. you would do far better to do your own foley recording. literally go and record bits of metal clunking together, that sort of thing. and you would be very surprised as to what sounds 'realistic'. sometimes the oddest combinations of things time stretched or tuned down can sound more 'realistic' than the actual sound itself. in the same way they used different shades of pink and purple to give the uniforms the right effect in the black and white classic 'the great dictator'.
that combined with a really terrific space designer IR or several to put the objects into the right space in relation to what you see and you can get a very slick and realistic effect.
you don't need to be running 40-60 tracks of sculpture mate.

    I was looking at youtube.com, which always tells me my browser is not supported and recommends I download Firefox, but that is what I was using, so I went to Firefox to check for updates.

    Good catch. That almost certainly is an invitation to download malware.

  • Error message (Because a USB device was drawing too much power)

    Hi Everyone,
    Bought recently a new macbook pro 13 inch with Retina display with 120 GB flash drive.
    Connected a non-apple CD drive to my macbook and after that started receiving this message: "Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled."
    initially I was receiving this message after I switch on my macbook but now after every 30 seconds this message pops up although I never connected anything to my macbook through its USB ports.
    Will highly appreciate for your help on how to get rid of this problem.
    Regards
    Homayun

    Try resetting the SMC
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • Can too much memory lead to a kernel panic on a MacBook Pro? specs 2.4GHz intel core i7 16GB DDR3 RAM   late2011..My laptop began suffering from kernel panics 3 mos ago first noticed using public wifi. Gone thru apple support all the way to engineers

    Can too much RAM memory in a late 2011 model macbook pro lead to kernel panic? That is what I was told by a senior supervisor from apple support who troubleshot this issue.First noticed this problem in Dec 2014 while using a private wifi at a relative's home. Did not occur again until Feb1 using a public wifi at a hotel. Never happened on my private wifi network until last night  attempting to use airplay. ( have used airplay before without issue). Late 2011 MacBook Pro running 10.9.5; 2.4 GHz Intel core i7, 16 GB DDR3,AMD Radeon HD 6770m 1024 MB graphic card.  The laptop came with 8GB RAM and I installed 8 GB about 2 years ago for some reason I cannot remember... probably because I thought the system was slowing down a little. I know that sounds silly. I do not run multiple programs at a time except I leave 6-8 website tabs open simultaneously. I don't photo or video edit.  I would describe my use as "light"  based on reading these blogs.I had purchased apple support and spent hours on the phone with them in early Feb moving up through support  and senior support to sending logs to the "engineers." Of course lots of things were done some of which I am sorry to report I cannot recall their technical definitions. Deleted  3rd party apps/programs; re-worked start up menu; re-installed operating system; reset " this, that and the other" using acrobatic simultaneous key strokes both in and out of safe mode..Anyway the results from the engineers came back and they suggested that if it happened again I was to remove the 8GB of RAM I had installed as the system was getting confused as to which chip to use.( that is my interpretation of what was said..prob dumbed down for me)...Anyway 1 day after these pronouncements came down I read that Apple had agreed to fix  graphics cards in some late model 2011 MBPs. I felt this was unlikely to be the issue  given all that had been done including an extended hardware test but called the Senior Support Supervisor I was working with to ask him to make sure. He never phoned me back. Should I go to the trouble of removing 8GB of RAM from my laptop? Of course I will try it as the alternative is a new computer.Blogs read that this model can support 16GB but Apple didn't test for it. Senior Supervisor claims this is my trouble.  Does that make sense?  Not to me....but it is clear to all my level of knowledge.  Can a malfunctioning graphics card be missed by an extended hardware test? I appreciate comments.

    The RAM needs specs as shown below.
    Maximum Memory
    16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots

  • White MacBook takes too much time to boot up

    Hi there.
    I got the topcase(keyboard) of my MacBook repaired. (White MacBook 2006) and after that it takes nearly 7 up to 10 seconds after pressing the power button that I first see apple logo and it boots up.
    I'm not sure but seems like that detecting the hardwares take too much time .
    any solution?

  • N73 ME Battery HEATING TOO MUCH - Please Help

    N73 ME Battery HEATING TOO MUCH - Please Help
    Hi Friends,
    I am from India
    Need Help/Suggestion from Mobile Gurus right here
    I have 1 Year Old N73 ME and I mainly use it for Calling and Texting. Very Occasionally I use it for Music/Gaming and Browsing the Web.
    The phone is completely in excellent condition
    The problem is that: While charging ONLY the Battery gets too much HOT and it never shows Battery is Full (Charged it for Max 1 Hour 45 Minutes)
    This problem suddenly appeared, so I formatted the Memory Card as well as Hard Format/Reset the Phone, but still the Battery is heating too much
    After disconnecting the Phone from Charger, the Battery is FULL and I can use it without any problem and as usual. The Talktime right now is around 2.5 Hours and Standby time is around 2-3 Days
    Please tell me what to do
    If you want any additional details I will post here
    Thanks a Lot and With Best Wishes

    Hello Sir,
    Thanks for your response
    I would like to add that the Temperature here in my city is around 43 Degree Centigrade (yes! centigrade, I am from Middle state's of India) everyday. Is this problem is due to so much heat?
    Thanks again

  • SCRIPT5007: Unable to get property 'top' of undefined or null and too much recursion

    I am not sure about placing two questions into one post, but here it goes:
    The error above  "SCRIPT5007: Unable to get property 'top' of undefined or null" is coming from this function:
    Code: 
    $(function () { //this is the way to run your code at the DOM Ready event  $('a').click(function () { $('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: $($(this).attr('href')).offset().top }, 1500); return false; });  });
    This is the effected code I believe that is causing the problem:
    Code: 
    scrollTop: $($(this).attr('href')).offset().top
    the error occurs when I click on a "clear" button in my form. My website is one long page and that function allows my navigation to slide up and down the site. Without it, everytime you click a nav, it jumps to that anchor.
    For the 2nd problem, the too much recursion, the problem lies within here:
    Code: 
    function () { if ($.isReady) return; imReady = true; $.each($.includeStates, function (url, state) { if (!state) return imReady = false }); if (imReady) { $.readyOld.apply($, arguments) } else { setTimeout(arguments.callee, 10) } }
    where the error is actually coming from the 2nd "function" script. This is part of the browser compatibility script for mozilla/opera at the top of the index page. Any help would be great. Thanks.

    Ahh I apologize. I simply was posting to JavaScript forums in hopes of
    finding a solution. Sorry for the mixup.

  • MacBook pro 13" mid 2010 "USB drawing too much power" HELP

    Hi, my MacBook Pro keeps coming up with a window about 30 after start up saying "USB drawing too much power" and none if the USB ports work neither does the iSight camera (green light is constantly on) and the headphone jack won't work! I have tried re installing OSX but it hasn't worked! Apart from an SMC reset and a PRAM what else can I try? Absolutely nothing is plugged in not a single cable or keyboard or mouse just my MacBook on its own, is it definitely a software problem or am I going to have to get apple to repair the hardware because I do not have that much money to replace a logic board and get apple to replace it themselves. Thanks in advance!

    I hope it works for you ...

    Hi this is what the solution given by your link
    A.1.6 Connection Timeouts Through a Stateful Firewall Affect System Performance
    Problem
    To improve performance the mod_oc4j component in each Oracle HTTP Server process maintains open TCP connections to the AJP port within each OC4J instance it sends requests to.
    In situations where a firewall exists between OHS and OC4J, packages sent via AJP are rejected if the connections can be idle for periods in excess of the inactivity timeout of stateful firewalls.
    However, the AJP socket is not closed; as long as the socket remains open, the worker thread is tied to it and is never returned to the thread pool. OC4J will continue to create more threads, and will eventually exhaust system resources.
    Solution
    The OHS TCP connection must be kept "alive" to avoid firewall timeout issues. This can be accomplished using a combination of OC4J configuration parameters and Apache runtime properties.
    Set the following parameters in the httpd.conf or mod_oc4j.conf configuration files. Note that the value of Oc4jConnTimeout sets the length of inactivity, in seconds, before the session is considered inactive.
    Oc4jUserKeepalive on
    Oc4jConnTimeout 12000 (or a similar value)
    Also set the following AJP property at OC4J startup to enable OC4J to close AJP sockets in the event that a connection between OHS and OC4J is dropped due to a firewall timeout:
    ajp.keepalive=true
    For example:
    java -Dajp.keepalive=true -jar oc4j.jar
    Please tell me where or which file i should put the option
    java -Dajp.keepalive=true -jar oc4j.jar ??????/
