WAAAY too much information left out of that. What is MAX? How well does it deal with Logic files..perhaps you can export the finished pieces as AIFF, AAC or MP3? What 'CPU Overload' box? Is there a version mismatch between what the newer system expects versus the files form the older system? Does your old G5 system use any hardware elements in the Logic toolchain? -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
