Mac OS X Live Lite 7 installation Connections and preparation Using Live Lite 7 to record Windows Vista/XP
For optimum performance
While using Live Lite 7, other applications may sometimes
slow down notably or become unstable.
If this happens frequently, consider taking the following steps
to optimize
the operation conditions for Live Lite 7.
Shut down other applications besides Live
Lite 7.
In particular, check for resident software and other utilities.
Reduce the number of plug-ins (effects,
instruments) used by Live Lite 7.
When there is a high number of plug-ins, the computer's
processing power may not be able to keep up. Reducing
the number of tracks for simultaneous playback can also be
helpful.
If applications still run very slowly or the computer itself does
not function properly, disconnect the G1u from the computer
and shut down Live Lite 7. Then reconnect the USB cable and
start Live Lite 7 again.
