And thanks for confirming the issue Filobus and Gorilla. Hopefully we'll get this problem addressed soon. |

(That's the only other suggestion I can see that you didn't cover already, per the info in your post.) |

How do you know those other folks are not also trying to record to the system drive? I have certainly seen this error when using a MBP 17" w/ Core 2 Duo when recording to the system drive. Not seen when using a seperate external FW800 drive (GTech GDrive mini 7200 rpm in my case). Trying an external drive would seem to be a good idea given how much time has been spent (wasted?) on trying other things.

Re: "CPU overload"?
Since you are using a Macbook Pro, you probably have a Core2Duo processor (possibly an i5 or i7) These all have two processor cores. Due to the current RTAS engine, it is highly recommended (almost required) to set the number of processors in the playback engine to one less than the number of processor cores that you have. In this case, you must set it to one processor core instead of two. I know...I know...it sounds counter-intuitive. The fact is that you are leaving one processor core to handle the non-realtime processing in the RTAS engine as well as other system operation. If you select two processor cores, all the resources are dedicated to realtime RTAS processing but not leaving anything for the other processes. This worked for me and eliminated the error message that you are experiencing. I hope it works for you too. Also you must record to a physically separate hard drive than the system drive. This has been a requirement since early Protools version and has not changed.

Re: "CPU overload"?
I think you are having the same problem as me, described in this thread:-
http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=290102 The worst thing about problems like this is the buzz kill, if I have a good idea going on I don't want to be fighting the computer. I've been using PT since version 6 and it's always been this way regardless of hardware, OS or PT version. Recently I gave up and went over to Logic and have been the most productive I have ever been. But strangely I actually like PT, and I really want a version that works properly. |

Wow, that actually seems to have worked! At least so far, just recorded a few tracks as a test to check, but the error never showed up. Thanks! Hopefully I'm not speaking too soon... |

Re: "CPU overload"?
what if you can't turn off bluetooth due to using the keyboard and mouse that came with the iMac? I want to get pro tools 9, but that seems like a ridiculous fix.

Re: "CPU overload"?
It is a ridiculous fix, but I am happy to report that I spent all day tracking yesterday with no issues. Feels so good to finally be able to really use this software.

Re: "CPU overload"?
I'm interested in purchasing Pro Tools 9 but this work-around has me concerned! I'm using both bluetooth wireless devices (keyboard and magic mouse) that came with my 2010 27" iMac i5 Quad Core machine. I'd like to know if Avid is looking into this matter further so it will no longer be a necessary for us to disable blue tooth if we experience this error? Thanks.
