Memory allocation

[Rebeccah]

Hi,

Pro Tools becomes a little slow on my Mac OSX 10.4.10 if I use fades, some basic plug-ins such as a compressor, and have more than like 3 tracks open, so I'm guessing I need to allocate more RAM. Right now, if I click apple + I, it says that the suggested size is 512 KB (I have 2GB at my disposal) but the box where you're supposed to type in your preferred size is inactive.

Does anybody know how I allocate more memory to Pro Tools M-Powered 7.1.1 on my Mac OSX 10.4.10?

Thanks!

You dont have to allocate more memory to PTMP but you can change your HW Buffer size inside PTMP to a higher buffer size
to compensate for this slugishness if you are recording audio switch it back to a lower buffer size(256-512) to avoid lots of latency but for post production work max it out...

Great! Thanks for the tip, but please... where exactly do I change the buffer size?

Thanks again!

go to the SETUP bar at the top,if youre not sure where stuff is take a little time and completley check out every feature in the program from preferences to setup and options that should help you get more familiar with PTMP..
