Problem with bouncing tracks in Logic 4 Subject description: negative amount of memory needed??? |
 |
|
I have quite an ancien set up: Logic Platinum 4.7 on Powerbook with OS 9. Has served me extremely well for years. But, last night, for some reason, it stopped working for me.
I can't bounce! It says that it needs "-3,3 MB of free memory"
How can it need a negative amount of memory? Or am I too dumb to figure out what that means?
And when I click OK to save my track as an aiff file, it says not enough memory on the hard drive (although I have 8 GB free).
Anyone knows what to do? Please help ASAP - I have no money to upgrade the system!
Thanks. _________________ http://www.bleeptunes.com |

igor....that is a strange one....can't think of anything at the moment...will keep pondering this...
do you have an old copy of your prefs ?
is your drive partitioned?
i am personally leaning toward an OS issue and not Logic
do you have an external drive ? try exporting to that
anyone else ? _________________ Spiral Recordings |

try double-clicking on the number beneath the tempo/time signature in the transport bar. this will reorganize/defragment the computer's ram.
hope this helps
best regards

I haven´t used Logic with OS9, but if you get a message specifically telling you that the disk is full, then you just might have a disk problem and it could be that it is also extremely fragmented. The disk problem could simply be a corrupted directory.
Have you used this computer for years without ever defragmenting the disk? You could be looking at least 2 problems here. On the other hand, maybe noodulators advice will work. It could be the ram, and not the disk? I dunno. _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"

Oh good old OS9!
Try trashing the preferences (logic).
Then rebuild the desktop.
Keep a spare copy (of the preferences) just in case that doesn't work- because you will have to set everything up again  |
