Shaunyboy Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Everything is working great on my OSx86 now, aside from iMovie and GarageBand. In iMovie, i get terrible lag when playing back a clip I have imported, but it runs fine the rest of the time. In GarageBand, I start off with a red playhead, and after adding only a few loops, it comes up with the error: "Part of the song was not played This song has too many tracks, effects, or notes to be played in real-time. To optimize performance, see the 'Optimizing GarageBand performance' page in GarageBand Help." I believe these issues are related. My specs, in case they help: 2Ghz Celeron Processor (however OSX detects it as a 300Mhz ) 768MB Ram 256MB Ati Radeon 9600Pro USB Sound Card Any one got ideas on how I can improve the performance of these two programs Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/26121-lag-in-imovie-problems-with-garageband/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaunyboy Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 By the way, Core Image and Quartz Extreme are enabled. I also currently have BeamSync disabled and Quartz 2D enabled.

denisvj Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 what is BeamSync and did you note a change when you disabled it ? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/26121-lag-in-imovie-problems-with-garageband/#findComment-178960 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaunyboy Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 BeamSync is some sort of graphics accelerator/tool/thing, I'm not entirely sure. To disable it, I used part of the Quartz Debug tool. I don't believe it makes a difference to iMovie, but I will double-check and let you know if it does make a difference. As far as I heard on these forums, disabling BeamSync only makes OSx86 run faster, never slowly. But I may be wrong. Thanks, and if anyone has any additional info that may help, it would be greatly appreciated Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/26121-lag-in-imovie-problems-with-garageband/#findComment-180830 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossie Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Open up activity monitor when in garageband and see how much memory is really being used.
