Q: You would think my MBP is fast enough

Hi all,

 

Yesterday for the first time I set up my full rig for testing the usage of mainstage 2 in a live setting.

I was a bit dissapointed. I would have thought my MBP would withstand the ordeal perfectly fine, but it didn't seem

stable enough.

 

My setup:

I have a MBP 17" 2.8GHZ dual core, with 4 GB RAM. 5200RPM WD hard drive

I run Mainstage 2 with logic samples and Kontakt 5 from Native Instruments.

 

I have a Yamaha MO8 and a Yamaha S30 as controllers

and I also have an iphone for triggerpads connected as midi controller over WiFi.

 

I seem to get a lot of problems with samples not playing, latency, other glitches and things.

 

What is wrong?

MacBook pro, Mac OS X (10.6.5)

    The guy that mentioned getting SSD is so right.   My 2013 MacBook Pro Retina has SSD and let me tell u that plus 8 GB of ram makes the difference.   SSD is the way to go with LOGIC STUDIO & Main Stage.
