Hi.

Fist of all sorry about my english. I'm from Argentina.

I've got a Macbook with: Intel Core Duo 1,83 Ghz, 2 GB RAM, 120 GB HD. I use a M-Audio Fast-Track Pro as audio interfase.

My problem it's when I run audio applications like Band in a box, Transcribe and audio editors. I put "Play" and stutters audio signal. Seems like an digital audio error.

I try with Fast Track Pro and the Built-in output and the problem it's the same.

Other problem that I have it's when I use Pro Tools 8 M-Powered. This not supports so much plug-ins because in the System Usage, the CPU (RTAS) it's very high with few plugins.

I think that can be a bad configuration because my equipment must works better.

Hopefully can you help me.

Thanks.

If you run audio files, samples… from the internal system drive, it could be the issue.

You only have 2GB RAM, with that amount OSX will be constantly accessing your system drive for virtual memory.

As your system drive fills up OSX performance will decline.

Audio/video apps are RAM intensive, every track, instrument, plugin you add requires more virtual memory.

OSX will always have priority, and may delay other apps from accessing the system drive, so it can manage virtual memory.

I suggest, that you add more RAM, put all of your music sessions on an external 7200rpm firewire drive, any always have 20% minimum free space on your system drive.
