I?ve read the various threads concerning Garage Band and how to speed it up on slower machines. But I?ve got a G5, and everyone tells me there?s no way I should be having latency issues. The issue only occurs when I hit the Record button and the software instrument being used can?t keep up with the computer keyboard key presses.



At the local Apple store, we did an archive and install of the OS today (after trying every other setting change), but the issue remains. There?s plenty of space on the internal hard drive, so that?s not the problem. Anyone else having issues with Garage Band ?08 on a 1.6 GHz G5?

    Probally you have to little memory, sound apps are very memory hungry!

    1.5 GB runs Final Cut Pro with no issues. Video and audio is certainly more ram hungry than just audio.

    Seems odd that using 1/5th of a $79 program bundle (Garage Band) would bring a G5 to its knees.
