I have a 2011 Imac 27in With a 2.7Ghz processor and 16 gb of ram. I am running Pro Tools 10 and Logic 9. I am trying to utalize my home computer for editing and mixing in protools and loading the sessions off of my 500g OWC Mercury Elite drive through FW400.
The sessions have roughly 40 tracks a piece and once i get into mixing I continually get H/W buffer error messages and the CPU cant keep up.
I have it set to use 4 processors, running at 95%, 1024 Samples
So right now my options (that I am aware of) are to increase the RAM (thinking of getting two sticks of 8gb, totaling 24gb of RAM)
Or purchasing an external SSD and running it through my computers Thunderbolt connect, running the sessions off of this drive instead.
Are these two options going to alleviate my issue? will increasing the RAM at this point (seeing that I already have 16 gb) yield any benefit in Pro Tools ?
Thanks really desperate for help right now!
