query with protools 7.3 le and a macbook
Hi there I keep getting the message below every time I move my mouse whiles im recording audio in or doing nearly anything for that matter.
CPU usage is holding off USB audio. Remove some plug-ins, delete some tracks, or increase the "H/W buffer size" in the playback engine dialog. (-9136) My specs are: Mbox 1 Pro tools 7.3 Macbook 2.16 Ghz intel duo, Memory 2 gb OSX 10.4 Ive tried running just protools by itself with one track, cpu usage at 90%, 2 processors, buffer size up to 1024 samples etc, but still no joy. Is my mac just not powerful enough to run 7.3? Thanks in advance for any advice! K. |

Re: query with protools 7.3 le and a macbook
There are a variety of troubleshooting/optimization steps contained in the general troubleshooting thread.
general troubleshooting The main areas to consider (but not limited to) include, - Try a different USB port for a start. - You might consider updating the Mbox firmware if appropriate. - Are you using the internal HD to record audio. That is not supported (or recommended). You need a fast (min 7200 rpm) external FW HD with Oxford chipset. - Turn off anything running in the background e.g Airport/Bluetooth etc. http://www.myspace.com/philogg |

Hi Phil, thanks for the advice! I have been recording directly to the internal hardrive, I will try doing it to an external one and i'll check out the general trouble shooting page. Thanks again! K.
