Garageband slow -add more GB to 2011 iMac?
Hi,
question for any garageband user of tech head:
i have a mid 2011 10.7.5 osx lion /21.5 inch imac with 4GB of memory installed. I have 438GB still free out of 499GB.
I used Garageband for about 6 months without too many probs and was only using maybe 8 -10 tracks on each song , but yes was using a few of VSts and FX. Now although Ive moved all Garageband projects into an external drive and GB is now empty. It wont play or work without freezing a lot which is useless to me. I know about locking tracks and do but its still very slow.
Question: how much extra GB should I install in the imac to make it run without issues? Money is tight but would another 4GB do the job?
I dont have other apps or programs running whne in GB and simpy am frustrated at how lame it is.
