PT 10HD Physical RAM is running low

[Annas]

Hallo.

have the same problem I read almost all post and tried something to fix current problem, but didn't work.

1. My computer : Macbook Pro, OSX 10.9.5 13-inch, Late 2011

Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5

With two memory slots 2GB, 2GB (4GB)

2. DAW : Pro Tools HD10


Problem is that I'm working on a project in witch i use most Dly, and revers

and when I start working in this project PT says : Physical RAM is running low for better performance install more RAM.

In Playback Engine it was on 512 mb Cache Size and I put it on 1GB, but problem isn't solved PT says the same every time I start working in the same project and this happens in only one project.

H/W Buffer Size : 512 Samples

Host Processors : 4 Processors

CPU Usage Limit : 85%



Seems like everything is ok in the Playback Engine, but it still didn't helped.

after I put it on 1GB Cache Size now PT says: Physical RAM is running low. for better performance, reduce the Disk Cache Size in the Playback Engine or install more RAM.

I have also another problem about CPU when the project is playing it stops and PT says: A CPU overload error occurred. If this happens often, try increasing the ''H/W Buffer Size" in the Playback Engine Dialog, or removing some plug-ins. (-6101)


I would like to solve this problem without removing some plug-ins cause they are not too much and it means that in another project if i'll start using this number of plug-ins I'll got the same as in this project.

Thank you very much for any help <3

After you did this 1 of your 4 gb of ram is used for the disk cache.
If you set it to "normal", all 4 gb's will be available for PT.

Thanks for answer :)
Well I tried that also, but didn't help so its seems like changing Cache Size doesn't changes that problem :/ in outputs are also everything ok. So can't find out how to fix it

You can fix it by installing more memory to the computer

Thanks for answer :)
will that fix also CPU overload problem?

No. Memory is memory and CPU is CPU

I'm about to fix overall problem, so it means that installing more memory will help only for physical RAM and About CPU will still have to think what to do.

Respectively, you can get better processor performance by upgrading the processor (or buying a new computer)

Somehow helpful answer, but not for this moment I just needed to save my project till i upgrade processor witch i don't know how to do or buying new computer. So I just exported all channels one by one and will bounce them also one by one and then in new session I'll import all of this audios I think and I hope It will help.

install more ram. 4GB is barely enough to run the OS.. and PT10 can only address 4GB of ram MAX anyways, since its not 64bit.
