Hi Chuck,
Jerry's right, just quit GPO Studio when that happens, and
everything should go back to normal. Although I have only seen
what you describe once, and that was on 10.3.9 (I'm waiting for
10.4.2 before installing Tiger). And I frequently leave GPO Studio
running in the background for days.
Everything not only slows down, but sound, keyboard and mouse
response, become intermittent to the point of uselessness, and a
restart is required.
Normally, that's a sign of RAM saturation, but you have plenty of
RAM. However, it's possible there could be a memory leak in one of
the apps you are using? When this happens, are you running
anything other than GPO Studio and Finale? Any third-party
utilities running in the background?
Hi Darcy,
Sometimes I am running Formac Studio TV in a corner of my monitor -
watching dumb TV while I format parts. Other than that - Dragthing,
Mail and Quickeys.
The UI for GPO Studio does suck.
Big time!
I've never tried double-clicking on a studio setup, I just double-
click on the GPO Studio app, then select Open from the File menu
(which, for some godawful reason, is not even mapped to cmd-O!) and
pick the setup I need from there. Then it asks me if I want to
save the (noexistent) changes the existing (empty) setup -- grr.
If you can get Gary to do something about these annoyances, that
would be great.
and thumpy pizz. bass (kind of awful)
A couple of things you can do to (somewhat) alleviate the awfulness
-- adjust the pan so that it's centered (instead of 92% right) and
adjust the duration from 50% to 75-100% (depending on the tempo).
Good ideas.
It's never going to sound like Oscar Pettiford, or, well, _you_ (at
least, not yet!) but it's much better than the default settings.
I have learned to look at the activity monitor, though I'm not
sure I understand all its implications. One thing, however, seems
awry, and that is that GPO is hogging between 65 and 75% of the
CPU. Does that seem right?
During playback, yes. Sitting idle, absolutely not.
It is idling when the CPU use shows this much, and I thought that
seemed wrong. My knowledge of this is superficial, but intuition
suggested that this was not a happy circumstance.
If I find out anything more, I'll report in.
Thanks,
Chuck
