Hello Cats!

Not really any help to your question. Sorry. Maybe someone can help.

I have installed 'Pro Tools Free' on my iMac G3 (350Mhz) and I keep getting the message 'not enough memory for DAE'. Can anyone advise how I can get PT Free to work. I know my iMac is probably a bit old but I want to try to use PT Free to see if it is what I need.

Thanks in advance.

It is most likely popping up because ur system is not powerful enough to run it. What are the required specs for PTF? I haven't looked at it - but i do know that my old PC wouldn't run PTF and it was something like 800MHz. But then that was a very bad computer (thus for the move to Mac!). Also, the other major thing might be the RAM - but my major bet would be that the good ol iMac just can't run it.

ProTools FREE requires lots-o-ram. Also, turn off the Apple Talk. It should work on the G3 but it won't work on the dual OS Macs; those computers with OS 9x AND OS X. I spoke with the East Coast Sales Manager for ProTools and he said it was an issue they will take up soon. Don't hold your breath. Since they came out with the MBox, a fairly cheap system, they might just give up on FREE.

Invest in buying software. I use ProTools in the school recording studio and Logic Pro in the MIDI Lab. Buy from a reliable source. Sweetwater gives you tech support with every product purchased. Try getting through to digidesign when you have a question!

Godd luck.
