Gus Lozada Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 Hello there As you all know I've been a PC geek for years until 6 months ago when I got a new and exciting job which happened to include a shiny G4 Titanium and lots of cool new toys. I've been using it for 6 months on a daily basis and it works pretty fine. However I've been wondering what to do to make sure it is optimized for music apps. It actually is a music machine (Reason and Live). It has OSX 10.2 (Jaguar). Do anyone of you know hot to do some tweaking in order to improve its performance for music? It's a 667 MHz, PowerPC G4 Mac with 512 RAM.

not coaster MODERATOR Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 Sorry Gus. I'm stuck in 9.2 so I don't know any OSX tricks. Thinking Logic maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanmass Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 RAM RAM RAM...(i.e. upgrade to 1 GB if you can) [url=http://www.osxhints.com]www.osxhints.com[/url] is the next best place to dig around. There is a program called Mac Janitor that cleans up your system ala Norton's utilities, and it works pretty well. I have an 800 Ti with 1 GB, and really have very few performance issues with it.

Rog Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 I'm as new to Macs as you are and I haven't found any tweaks ... there doesn't seem to be anything in the OS to tweak!

deanmass Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 OS X is pretty damn nice.....I have a student assistant who is a guru on it, and he has very little to offer on performance tweaks except running maintenance utils (like Mac Janitor) once in a while. The OSX AUDIO link provided above is a cool site..I totally forgot about it. I just loaded Virtual PC w/ XP on mine Friday....Runs great. First time I have one do-it-all computer in a long time...
