    Just formatted my iMac

    My MacBook Pro had the same symptoms as you described. was sluggish as hell and interactions had a 10 second delay. Updating from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion fixed it and now it's snappy as hell again. :) Luckily there was no need for a reformat, so next it gets sluggish again I'll refresh...

    Trevoire, I'll have the rhythm tracks uploaded tomorrow for you to play along. I Can't wait to hear the other instruments. The other Maiden songs sound already pretty killer.

    I started recording the guitars today. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8394538/hallowed%20be%20thy%20name2.mp3 Some feedback is greatly appreciated. I know there are some sloppy notes in there which I'll try to fix.
