Quickdraw- Need your help with a P4 issue!

[daede]

I installed 6.1 last weekend. I must say, I love the changes- ReWire is a huge help.

However, since I installed it, I've been getting these errors. I hadn't had this trouble with my previous setup. I read the explanation of the error, but it says nothing about what causes it, or how to remedy it, just a workaround.

I'd like to be able to bounce my tracks normally. Any suggestions?

I have an 002, and a PC with 1gig ram, and a 2.4 P4.

Thanks in advance,

daede

I'm having the same problem.

Well... can anyone help us?

bassmon,
Are you running a P4 also? This error has been P4 specific. Adding ram and getting rid of program running in the background has helped some. Digi tech support has not been able to pin point the problem yet as far as I can see.

Try this:
Start/Run/type in msconfig and then hit enter/choose Selective Startup/unselect Load Start Up Programs/ Hit enter and reboot computer. When it reboots, select Don't show this again.

Good luck,

The part I don't get is how my system worked fine before 6.1, and now is problematic. If 6.1 is as new as it is, how could the problem be prevalent enough to already be P4 specific...?

Allen, are you saying that the problem was around before 6.1?

So I guess 6.1 is more strenuous for the computer?

I didn't have this problem once before 6.1.

I guess I'll go try your fix. I was thinking I'd buy a laptop for mobile recording, and would only get 528 megs of RAM. Looks like I'll be needing more, as 1 gig on my main system apparently isn't enough. I just wish there were a more concrete way to fix things. I HATE workarounds [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Oh well, PT is still a hell of a lot more stable than Cubase ever was. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">1GB is plenty. Sometimes the problem has been too much ram and removing 512MB has cleared some problems up with PTLE.

Yes 6.1 is going to be more demanding on the system, especially with the addition of Rewire and if you use Reason simultaneously. I'm interested in seeing how alot of these systems are going to take that. The Macs are coughing and choking already on this.

Allen-

Part of the problem could be the fact that I'm recording at 24/96.

I tried your suggestion about removing startup programs- no luck.

I guess I'll be following the workaround Digi suggests, which brings me to my next thought- what's the best way to take all these 24/96 tracks I'm creating and dither/assemble them to create a CD? I have Cool Edit Pro, and I guess I could dither it in there, but I never have been satisfied with the processing.

Sigh. Oh well, 6.1 is definitely inspiring creativity- I just wish it wasn't this type of creativity. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

A couple more ideas-

Maybe I should remove a stick of ram and see if 512 works any better?

Also, how would I record the master track so I can retain any master effects?

Thanks Allen for all your help, and TIA to anyone else who chimes in with helpful suggestions.
