Performance Question

[Paul66]

Hello there - I am running PT 6.4 on an iBook 1GHz G4 768Mb RAM 5400rpm internal H/D - connected to an Mbox (1st version)

Usually rewire mode with reason 3

Can anyone with a similar set-up tell me how many audio tracks they can record ?

I can generally record 2 stereo tracks before no amount of "buffer juggling" can stop the processor glitching on playback or record

Can I get any better than this ?

OS is 10.3.9 and the Coreaudio driver is 6.9 by the way

Thanks in advance good people

Seriously - nobody any clue what kind of performance I should be getting with this set-up ? Not very impressed at the moment with Pro-Tools - anyone restore my faith ?

75 reads and not one reply - [bleep] product - [bleep] support - [bleep] forum - Pro-tools sucks

That's not much of machine for what your trying to do. OSX is a cpu hog and Reason 3 uses more cpu than 2.5. Try a faster drive & more ram.

I get fair results,about 20/22 tracks and decent plugs,with a 1.2 g4 and the max ram with 10.3.4.
