[QLab] Major problems with a combination of AU Lab and a FW 410

[Matt Otto]

It doesn't seem like a big mystery to me. You are running Soundflower  
in a aggregate device with 4 plugins working on the audio all at one  
once on a underpowered G4 Mac. I think you are taxing the Mac waaaay  
too much.

Soundflower in my experience on my old G4 took up a lot of resources  
as does the aggregate device. Then add plugs on top of that and you  
are really pushing that machine to its breaking point, as you  
experienced. The delay and the EQs were simply too much on top of the  
routing.

I think the solution you found was the best one and you learned a  
valuable lesson about how a computer has finite amount of processing.

=Have fun,
