Re: VO's response-time to keystrokes slowing down.

2011-02-18 Thread Earle M. Harrison
In the Applications folder you will find a utility called disk utility.  You 
can do a spotlight search for disk utility and probably get it as a top hit.  
From the first aid tab, do a verify disk and then repair disk permissions to 
see if that improves the situation.  If you are using less than 4 GB of memory 
you might consider investing in more memory.  Also recommend not using system 
HD for recording projects, rather using a firewire external drive because audio 
is going to eat storage space like mad which will inevitably have a negative 
effect on over-all performance.  HTH.

Best,

Earle Harrison

 Uh, had something weird happen today.  I was working in Garage-band
 today, yes, finally got some of the loop issues figured out, and VO
 started being *really* slow to respond to keystrokes!  As in, like,
 I'd press a key, including VO navigation keys, and it would take like
 ten full seconds or more to speak!  It's never done that to me before,
 at least, never that badly or for that long.  Anybody know what was
 with that?  It kind of scared me, because that kind of stuff used to
 happen often with Jaws, usually just before it crashed.  Have any of
 you ever had this happen and know what's causing it?
 
 Thanks!

Yeah.

This is a RAM issue.  I've noticed it happening more of late though.  Usually, 
just pressing command tab to switch from garageband to the finder or another 
app, and pressing it again to go back to garageband, seems to solve the 
problem.  And of course, cycle VO off and back on with command F5.
