Default Re: Optimizing pro tools for PC

I found some info explaining how to do it on a mac (which is in the playback engine window), but the option for CPU usage isn't in the playback engine window when using a PC.



Also, is there anything else I can do to optimize my PC for pro tools?



So far I have selected 6 out of 8 processors for pro tools use only. (in task manager>processes>affinity)



I have increased RAM usage in the playback engine window to 3GB (possible max choice is 4GB. My machine is 8GB Ram).



I have changed pro tools priority in task manager>processes>priority to high.



The problem with these tweaks is that I have to repeat the process each time I boot up pro tools. Is there any way I can save the tweaks?


There is a script that automates all of these steps earlier in the thread, go back to the beginning and read up.

You have way too little RAM. Without 16gigs it really is an exercise in futility and frustration...start there.
