Re: problems with xpand
You need more RAM, you don't meet the minimum requirements for the Toolkit add ons. From the compatibility pages:
Total System RAM •*512 MB minimum required**, more recommended •*More RAM increases overall system and Pro Tools performance •*More RAM suggested for sessions with high edit density, extensive use of plug-ins, or simultaneous use with MIDI sequencers •*DigiTranslator 2.0 will also require additional RAM **Additional RAM Requirements — DV Tookit 2 & Music Production Toolkit Options The purchase of either of these options expand a Pro Tools LE system from 32 total voiceable tracks to up to 48 mono or 48 stereo tracks at up to 96 kHz (interface permitting) In order to reliably achieve maximum track count, 1.5 GB RAM or more is required on Mac OS X I would imagine some of that 1.5gb requirement is also because of Xpand, which is not a stream-from-disk player like MachFive, but probably loads most of the library into RAM like the Spectrasonics plugs do. |
