Re: CPU Overload (error 6101) on intel macbook pro
I have the same issue i get about 4 or 5 tracks laid down and about 4 or 5 plugins in use and I start getting the 6101 error. I have tried adjusting the buffer to all the different settings. I tried adjusting my cpu usage any were from 70% to 95%. Also removing half the plugins and no luck ! My CPU usage meter sets any were from 30%-50% so I know it's not overloading. ???? Any help would be much appreciated

Re: CPU Overload (error 6101) on intel macbook pro
Getting exactly the same error here, bought a mac pro as I thought that would solve these issues, was on quad core XP....it hasn't changed a single thing....
I haven't experienced any other DAW that is as unstable as PT. |

Re: CPU Overload (error 6101) on intel macbook pro
I've been through the same thing, though my version of the problem might be a little different. I usually don't get this Error Message when I'm recording, probably because I'm only recording one track: my voice. But I often get it during playback. I tried a bunch of stuff from different forums, etc. cshaw's battery solution (resetting the SMU) is intriguing, and I might try that.
In my case, I can usually just ignore the Overload message if it comes up while recording or during brief playbacks. But when I'm doing extended playbacks, it will sometimes come on repeatedly. So now I've just gotten in the habit of increasing the HW Buffer Size to 256 before I do any extended playbacks, then setting it back to 128 when I record again. |

Re: CPU Overload (error 6101) on intel macbook pro
Okay, I shouldn't have posted so soon about how I only get error 6101 during playback.
Today, a couple of hours into a recording session, the error message started coming on repeatedly. I finally had to increase the H/W buffer size to 256 to get it to stop. I would prefer to record with 128. I will reset my SMU and make sure the audio drive is set to Private in Spotlight control panel (per DigiDesign team rec a few posts ago), but I feel like there's something bigger going on. I mean, I have no plug-ins, have a dedicated FW hard drive, and only record one voice track! |

Re: CPU Overload (error 6101) on intel macbook pro
I agree, the problem certainly isn't one caused by stressing the system in terms of plug ins or high track counts. I too can get the error when I'm just playing back a project with no plugins and just a handful of tracks.
I wonder if it is related to using a FW audio interface? I'm using a Profire 2626 at the moment which works perfectly with my laptop and Cubase for recording concerts and location work. The same setup with pro tools however is unusable due to these errors??? |

Thing is, I really like the Profire 2626 and I'm not sure if there is an equivalent USB interface... |

Re: CPU Overload (error 6101) on intel macbook pro
This 6101 error is still going on?
What a bummer! I have just stopped using PT M-Powered for 2 track recording on my MB Pro with a 2626. Not reliable enough! I don´t want to lose money (and a client) cause a buggy software.

Re: CPU Overload (error 6101) on intel macbook pro
Just finished recording a string quartet in a nice church today and couldn't afford to use PT M Powered, I used cubase instead, will mix it in M Powered though...
