Default Re: Help needed,Heat latency Pre-Post?

The problem with "pre" mode with HEAT is that it is a DSP process - so any host plug-ins after that will force a round trip. This will cause more latency, depending on the hardware buffer, but will also use more voices (which may not be an issue anymore). I don't know why you're getting a CPU too slow error though.
Regarding Avid's track recommendations - 32 tracks on a 7200 drive is VERY conservative. It's based on having 32 tracks of continuous audio with heavy edit density.
If you can use disk cache and not starve Pro Tools for memory that should eliminate the drive as a potential issue, though.
Try raising your HW buffer size, if latency isn't a concern.
