Machine Name: Mac OS 10.4.2
Machine Model: i book G4
Processor Name: digidesign core audio manager
Hardware: Mbox
Processor Speed: 1.33 GHz Power PC G4
Memory: 1.5 Go DDR SDRAM

I use a mic Rhodes that requires Phantom Power on , quite a few ableton plug ins, 9 audio clips
so far I can't finish my set without crashing
I've pushed buffer size digidesign coreaudio manager to 1024, will do another test in a minute
any other ideas to help ?[/size]

Olivia,

Try freezing the tracks that you're not altering. Freeze all of the tracks with the plug-ins. That will free up more CPU power and maybe prevent the crashing.

Does this problem not occur when the microphone is not in use?

Sam

hi sam!
thanks
I've sort of tryed lots of stuff, without a phantom power...

but I think it is now due to my own puter

really bad, keeps crasing, can't even bounce in pro tools a sound
will have to take it to the Dr tomorrow
boring

cheers
O

you should first get the last 5.x version
try to rename your VST folder, see if it still happens

hi pedro
do I have a VST folder?
I don't know

......bouh

i don't know how it works on a mac, but i'd say that you must have one.
when you click on the 3nd icon of the browsers (the one with a little plug), do you have some devices appearing?

ok mates

but will go to a nice shop/hospital for computers this afternoon for a proper check up

O-

Pedro is right. The computer doctor probably won't think of this:

Get freshened up with the latest release of Live 5.
