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. |

Not sure if I fully understand your problem. If you are recording through your DI (M-Audio), it should be easy to isolate if your problem is hardware of software. Your computer came with GarageBand, I would suggest recording through that. Your DI will auto-configure with GB, see it as another midi device. Open a new project selecting 'voice'. If you're playing external sounds, drag the sound into GB and play it as as track. If your recording plays without problems you have an application problem. If you have the same problem, you could have a hardware or configuration problem.
2GB is a lot of RAM, so before you buy more, try things like shutting down all applications except those you absolutely need and reduce your recording buffer size if you really think RAM is an issue. I upgraded to 8GB but I was doing multi-track recordings with 2GB without any of the problems you are experiencing. I have large video/audio projects that I work on all the time and have never had a 'stutter' problem. Latency issues maybe ... but that's another topic. And unless your HD is full, I can't believe this would be an issue. |

I'm on a new quad-core i7 macbook pro 4GB RAM, just running the web browser my system is using 159 GB of virtual memory, and my hard drive is constantly writing 14 GB chunks..
