Hey guys, I'm hoping this is a simple oversight on my part and one of you can help.
I'm getting constant 'CPU Overload' errors when trying to record an audio track. This is what I have for track listings, plug ins etc... I'm on a brand new Powerbook G4 1.67 1.5 gig ram Tr 1 - midi drum track Tr 2 - Aux track - BFD drum plug in ( I suspect this is very CPU heavy) Tr 3 - Audio track I'm recording guitar on (clean) Tr 4 Aux track - Amplitube Tr 5 Aux track - click (for count in) Settings are: CPU Usage limit - 85% DAE PLayback Buffer = level 2 (default) HW Buffer Size - 512 it tracks a little longer on 1024 but the latency is a killer there My completely newbie guess is to pull out BFD and just use a midi drum sound while tracking, then crank H/W buffer for mixdown but could it be something else. Is that the max this Powerbook can handle? Thanks so much in advance and hope you all have a happy and safe New Year ! Vin |

Hi vinrock
An external drive to run audio will take some load off or at least partition the powerbooks drive for better optimisation. Make sure run a regular maintanance thing using something like Xupport or macjanitor to prevent things laging. Keep big cpu plug ins to a minimum. What host are you using? |
