Hi folks, So yesterday, I started out recording my first entirely PT based project since getting back on Avid's horse. For the most part, the session went pretty well. I'm digging into comping takes and doing some tidying up today, and noticing that my Mac is seriously struggling. Wondered whether anyone more seasoned could give an opinion about whether this is normal.
So, I'm running a Core2Duo 2.4ghz, 2gb RAM, the session is running from the system drive in an effort to see what the limitations of traveling extra light are, but that drive is definitely 7200 RPM. The session I'm working with has 20 tracks, most of which have two plugins in the forms of compressor/gate/EQ etc. There's also two instances of Sansamp PSA-1, and one instance of Eleven. Seeing as I'm no longer recording, I've taken the H/W buffer size to 1024, and made pretty much everything that I'm not using inactive. Should this spec of Mac really be on it's knees at this point? I know it's not the latest and greatest, but a buddy of mine's Mac mini can cope with this without breaking a sweat. The difference is that he's using an older hence inaccessible version of PT, version 7 I think. Any advice welcome, even if it's time for my Mac to be checked into the big genius bar in the sky... Scott
