Why does Logic take so long to load?

I have a dual quad core Mac Pro from last year and 8 gb of RAM.
I have 4 internal drives and 2 external drives.
Most of my music is not that complex: perhaps 8-10 tracks at the most.
Typically it takes 2-3 minutes for Logic to completely load a song.
Where is the bottleneck here?
Thanks.

Thank you to everyone who replied.
I will try the audio suggestion.
I have quite a few plugins, etc.
Anyway it is not a big deal: I can wait a minute or two. LOL
Just thought that a dual quad core machine would be a bit zippier!
Thanks again.

    Why does it take so long to load a web page on my new ipad wifi

    This is probably not a problem with the iPad, but with the wi-fi. If your internet connection and/or wi-fi speeds are slow, then loading web pages will be slow. If I was you, I would research different kinds of wireless routers to find the fastest one in your price range, and also research different kinds of modems.

  • Why does it take so long to load a tv show?

    why does it take so long to load a tv show or movie when i am connected to a wifi other than my home?

    Very probably because many devices are sharing the same Internet pipe and you're getting only a portion of the total capacity.
    I suggest that you obtain the free "SpeedTest" app and compare data rates at home and elsewhere.

  • Why does Firefox take so long to load beta images on some sites?

    I upgraded to one of the latest versions of Firefox, and it's better in some ways. It loads much faster than previous versions, but when I try to look at certain websites - the Globe and Mail is one of them - I get messages like "waiting for beta images" and Firefox just sits there and I can't look at the site. Why does Firefox take so long to upload beta images? I don't have that problem with Internet Explorer.

  • Why does Logic take SO LONG to dump ram???

    I have a template that has hundreds of tracks with Kontakt 4.1. When I first open Logic and my template, everything loads great - it only takes about 45 seconds or so to open my template.
    HOWEVER, when I close that project, and then open a fresh template, Logic take upwards of 10 minutes, even if it's the template with the same samples, or EVEN an empty template!!!
    Quitting Logic has the same problem, from the time I quit Logic to the time it actually closes can be upwards of 10 minutes.
    This has made me use "force quit" as part of my normal work flow.
    Does anyone know a way around this???

    This is a problem that started with the Kontakt 4.1 update. NI and Apple are working on a fix...

  • Why does Captivate take so long to load ?

    I am aware that there is a problem when working with Captivate and connected to company network. As a result of this issue I do not work in "My Documents" but in a folder on local C drive. Not sure if this problem is related to the below...I guess the two are related however.
    I "suffer" with the time delay from the moment I click on my desktop shortcut for Captivate (v4 / Win XP) to the time I can get started in Captivate.
    When I click on desktop shortcut I get the below screen.
    The section at the bottom (marked #1) is initially empty and can take up to 30-40 seconds before the data appears.
    The main section (marked #2) is visible from the initial start up, but the links are not activated. I have to wait for at least another 30-40 seconds AFTER the bottom section 1 has become visible before the links become active and I can get started.
    1. Is it the case that Captivate does not become "active" until it has connected to an Adobe website to enable the different links to help / tutorials etc, and this is the cause of the start up delay ?
    2. Am I alone in experiencing such delays and therefore have to get my IT people to look at my laptop and try and work out why we are causing the delay ?
    3. Or is this delay something other Captivate users suffer and something we have to live with as long as we have to use Adobe Captivate ?

  • Why does iChat take sooooooo long to load a saved conversation?

    I don't know if it's just my computer, but it takes really really long for iChat to load a saved conversation. I opened one last night, and it took 32 minutes to open. That's terrible. In the meantime, it lagged my whole computer and logged me out of AIM. What can I do?

    Hi,
    In Tiger the Recent item only showed those chats you had opened before.
    In Leopard this item in the File menu of iChat shows Recent Chats and Recent Saved Chats.
    Which route are you using to access the saved Chats ?
    Also have you moved the default folder ?
    Is this identified in iChat > Preferences > Messages pane ?
    Mine open almost instantly.
    I am having a hard time imagining why they would be delayed unless really long or group chats or some with files or Pics that you download to the Desktop and it is having trouble finding all the bits that were in it (or even if they are where iChat thinks they were left/put on download)

  • Why does Pages take so long to load on ipad2

    Most of the time when I launch Pages on ipad2 it takes awhile for the app to load all of the files. Sometimes I have to quit the app and try it again. Sometimes again. And then, finally it comes up and I am able to get to work. Anyone know why this is happening? Is it trying to reconcile with iCloud first, thus taking more time for me to get to work on something? Thanks for any help in this area.

  • Why does labview take so long to load

    I have LabVIEW installed: along with LV RT and LV FPGA. When I want to target an FPGA board: 7813 or 7811 for example, the LV load time is minutes versus seconds.  I understand that VISA is used to interface to the RIO boards.  It seems that there is something waiting to timeout and LV takes a really long time to load.  Any thoughts?

    Is LabVIEW installed on a local disk or on a network resource?

  • Why does Firefox take so long to load?

    This problem just began yesterday, 12/12/12. When firefox takes a full minute to open, then as it begins to load my home page a script error message pops up, but doesn't load fully enough to 'continue' or 'stop script'. Over a period of 4 to 5 minutes, my home page mostly loads, but is not navigatible. I have tried to uninstall and it pops up with 'close running firefox, etc.' I have tried to re-install with the same results of closing the present firefox running message--however, no other firefox IS running. I have restarted my computer many times. I have turned off the computer & turned it back on. I am running Windows 7, 64 bit.

    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

  • Why does it take so long to load my iweb pages

    I'm brand new to using iWeb and this is my first attempt at a webpage: http://web.mac.com/cankuhnster It is a report on what I did and the San Diego Comic Con last week.
    Can anyone give me suggestions on what I can do to make my pages load faster? I love the way the pages look but it takes a while to get the page to load.
    Thanks,
    Steve
    by the way I love, love, love the ease of using iWeb

    Your page includes a 1913X7068 .png file that weighs in a 4.7MB's. Not Web friendly.

    I don't know how you made it (it may have been done by iWeb) but you should find a way to break it up into its parts (images and text).

  • Why does it take so long for Firefox to load?

    Why does it take so long for Firefox to launch at initial start up? It usually takes 3 or 4 minutes. IE loads within a few seconds.

    Reset the homepage to something else, or do not use a home page at all.

  • Why does it take so long to upload? Am I doing something wrong?

    At the moment it takes a few hours(!) to upload about ten pages on one site. Just pictures. iPhoto used to publish within five minutes. Why does it take so long? Am I doing something wrong, like having it on a weird setting? It looks beautiful, but not very impressed with iWeb functionality as of yet.

    don't know if i can downgrade the file sizes, am just selecting the photos in iphoto and then clicking iweb so it should do it automatically. it shouldn't take hours though should it? the site address is web.mac.com/adilamin/iWeb but there is no problem with accessing the site and loading the pics, its just the uploading from iWeb.
