It is vitally important that you get high quality ram.
There's been some discussion around here that completely maxxing out a system may not be a good idea, but I have not found that not to be the case so far in my own work. I would strongly suggest increasing your ram. Obviously, that's quite a bit for wordprocessing and the like, but audio and video, as you surely know, crave memory. This may sound nuts, given that you have a very powerful machine already, but I notice that you have "only" 1.5 gig of ram. There are also genuine experts and movers/shakers lurking about, including some MOTU employees. James Steele, who runs it, deserves a lot of credit for organizing and monitoring discussions here so that they remain informative, focused, and civilized. Others may have differing experiences, but they always seem to co-exist fine on my box.įirst of all, welcome.
I have to do this when using a 2048 buffer with my FW1804 and UAD-1 card.īTW: I don't really find Dashboard interfering with DP in any significant way. The solution: Try medium or low priority settings. The solution: Faster, more efficient drives or downconvert audio files to smaller rates.ī.) Your system is struggling with prioritizing hardware processes (i.e, working your third-party PCI or firewire gizmos). However, I find this alert usually occurs when.Ī.) Your system is struggling with throughput (i.e., the audio sample is large - say, 88.2 k or higher - and I/O is a bitch. The remedy, of course, is to stop playback when committing these changes. For instance, it can sometimes occur if you're trying to conduct many or proc-heavy changes while the system is in playback (e.g., moving plugins around in inserts). Re: the above message - This alert isn't necessarily a cause for alarm. You'll find a lot of help and cooperation that way.

Has anyone seen this happen? Am I overlooking some settings? Any info will be greatly appreciated. When I look at the Activity Monitor during playback, I see a huge spike when I press Play and then it drops way down. My system is a Dual 2.3 G5 with 1.5G ram, DP 4.6, Motu 2408, 2x DA88.
My buffer size is 1024 (as high as it will go) the buffer size per voice is 300000 samples. You can also deassign audio voices or remove some effects" You may want to increase the size of your MAS buffer in Configure Audio Hardware dialog. Digital Performer has detected an error in the audio. "-Audio Playback has overloaded your computer's processor. The recording seems to work fine, but sometimes at playback I get the following message in a popup window: I am transfering old recordings from a pair of DA88's into Digital Performer and so far I have done 5 tunes 3-5 minutes in length with 8-15 tracks. It is working quite well except for one problem. I am running a new system that I am not very familiar with. I am new to this forum and this is my first post.
