Q: Weird Logic RAM/Memory issue
Hi,
I've been a Logic 9 user for quite a few years (4-5yrs at the least) and have never experienced anything like this.
I'm currently working on a film project which requires using at least 25-30 Kontakt loaded tracks. My computer, 2.6Ghz i7 16gb Ram running on 10.7.5, has been handling this ram/cpu eating project fairly well for the past few weeks. I've been very careful while working and I'd purge any unused samples loaded on Kontakt. Usually I'd have at least about half of my RAM unused (6-7GB). Even in an intense action scene my computer was rarely frozen.
Now, I'm done with my sequencing and for the past few days I've been spending my days exporting/ bouncing in place my tracks so that I could mix them once they are converted to audio tracks. Once I'm done converting midi to audio tracks I always pack them into the folder and delete the rest of midi tracks.
THE WEIRDEST EVENT OCCURS WHEN I'M DELETING MY TRACKS, LOGIC WILL EAT UP MY RAM LIKE MY SISTER EATING A CHOCOLATE. Deleting a single track would consume AT LEAST 1gb of memory loss. After deleting 5-6 tracks my activity monitor shows that my computer only has about 4-6mb of ram left. By then, my logic session is nearly frozen and I have to run my memory cleaner app to free up my ram space.
This is perhap the most bizzard logic phenomenon that's ever occured and I'm very puzzled at this moment. I guess the best solution at this point for me is to reinstall logic 9 but at least I'd like to hear opnions from Logic gurus out there. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
