hellooo i have a macbook pro with 1ghz ram. i run pro tools LE 7.3 and have had the issue of running out of cpu power. i get the error message "you are running out of CPU power. Remove some RTAS plug ins or increase the cpu usage limit in the playback engine dialog. (-9128)"
i am not running that many tracks (3-4) and only about 2 plug ins and i am still getting the problem. i also increased the cpu usage limit in the playback engine dialog with no luck. i thought it had to do with not having an external hard drive, so i picked up a glyph 050 250 gb hd. on other forums they said it didnt have to do with the hard drive, and to come here. thanks

anakinsrightarm,
If you are running Leopard (Mac OS X v10.5.x) then I would first recommend 2GB of RAM. Leopard is a bit RAM hungry by comparison. Also, how much space is left on your internal HDD? It should be between 10 - 20% of the total volume, i.e., if you have a 160GB HDD (internal), then you should have at least 32GB of drive space free. If it is less, the virtual memory swap file is being written quite a bit and can tax your CPU. Best of luck. peace. -------------------- |
