Physical RAM is running Low error
Hi all.
I'm getting a memory error, and yet I have a ton of free memory space on my system. PT 11 HD OMNI (UPDATED) MAC PRO 12 Core D700 32GB 1TB SSD OSX 10.10.5 Removed all plugs except PT plugs and PLAY and KONTAKT Optimized, trashed prefs, new user... etc. etc. Buffer settings/Cache change does nothing.

Re: Physical RAM is running Low error
What do you have your disk playback cache size set to?

Re: Physical RAM is running Low error
Yup, PT 12.7.1 started complaining about available physical RAM in my Mac with 64GB RAM in it.

Re: Physical RAM is running Low error
Out of curiosity, when you go into the Terminal, and do a "sudo pmset -g" command, what do the results say?
As a corollary to that, have you ever played around with these settings to troubleshoot?

Re: Physical RAM is running Low error
Create a "new user" with admin privileges and get rid of all that Adobe "helper" crap.

What do you mean by "get rid" of it? Disable it in startup? Is this a known conflict?

I've tried every combination of Disk Cache and Buffer and also turned off all power management, etc. I also tried different interfaces, fresh installs, reboots, SMC reset, etc. - still the same issues are present. It shouldn't matter though, because physical RAM usage is very low... is there an OSX setting I missed? Or is this error a false readout?

Re: Physical RAM is running Low error
I've tired a bunch of settings, nothing really changes anything, and my session is more heavy on instruments than audio, so disk cache is not really used that much. Usually have it at about 4GB but I've tried several lower and higher settings to no avail.

I'm glad to know this is a problem in PT 12 as well. We need a fix for both versions, I shouldn't have to pay another $1000 for an HD upgrade for something that never worked when I bought it! I've always had either "out of CPU" or "out of memory" errors and I've tried several trips to the apple store and every "usual" fix I can think of. Interestingly enough, when I use non-HD interfaces, it seems to work a little bit better... however, there are still significant problems with larger sessions well below the maximum ram. Do you have an active support? Can you reach out to AVID tech and see what is going on? I was considering getting the non-hd upgrade to PT 12 *if* it would fix this problem, but apparently this is not a PT 11 specific problem. And if it was I'd be seriously upset that the thousands of dollars I've already paid haven't produced a working-as-advertised product. I initially thought it was a problem with the PLAY engine being incompatible, but now after many trial-and-error sessions and patchs I think the issue is with PRO TOOLS. Any other ideas? Anyone else with this problem should not pay for the upgrade, it will not fix your issue...
