Hello, I have just bought a Mac and an Mbox 2 Pro. I have had some problems launching the program, and I just discovered that the version of Pro Tools that I bought (7.3) was made for Mac OS X 10.4 while I have OS X 10.5.2. Therefore I downloaded the 7.4 version for Mac OS X 10.5.3, and now I'm downloading Mac OS X 10.5.4. I just wonder if the Pro Tools version that I'm downloading is working for 10.5.4. Do you know?
Please read my thread on the Chill Out Room: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=18184
for more information on the problem tongue.gif

Thanks in advance, Peter

Ok - Finally I'm into this stuff, and I have started making a very basic backing track for Yngwie Malmsteen - Valhalla.
I am using Sampletank for sounds and have a problem that I don't think would be too hard to fix, but It's pretty annoying: When I use Sampletank, the CPU usage stays relatively low while doing playback, but sometimes it gets kind of "Hickups" where the the usage goes over its limit for like half a second or so. What do you think is wrong?
And another thing: (Gah, I feel so newbish right now tongue.gif) I have figured out the MIDI thing pretty well, but is there some way that Pro Tools can correct the beats so that I don't have care so much about hitting just on when I'm making a midi note? smile.gif

huh.gif I have no idea!
Sorry, but I never had that problem and I've never heard of it.
Can you give some more info on how you've set Sampletank up? step by step?

I think what you're asking about is the Quantize function smile.gif (you cheater tongue.gif )

Do you mean how I've installed it or how I opened it in Pro Tools? When I say the CPU usage limit, I'm talking about the RTAS CPU in Pro Tools itself when you go to Windows -> System usage. It's not in Sampletank if that's what you thought.

But I don't have a midi controller ohmy.gif dry.gif

Yes, I meant how you opened it up in ProTools, how many instruments you have loaded, etc. I figured this had something to do with the memory, but then I remembered you've got lots of RAM so this is probably not the problem here.

Hm... It could be some setting in the Playback Engine. Check: Setup > Playback Engine.
What are your settings there?

H/W buffer size?
RTAS Processors?
CPU Usage limit?
DAE Playback buffer?
Cache Size?

Are you in Low Latency Monitoring-mode? (Options > Low Latency Monitoring)
