Re: DAE error 6008

It's a w98 problem, that w98 cannot support RAM more than 512 MB. So if you have mounted more than 512 MB Ram, PTFree will probably not work!

Re: DAE error 6008

"DAE error -6008" means not enough memory

I had this when I had two sound cards. Setting the preferred one to be the soundblaster fixed it.

I got the same error. I am on a Windows 2000 machine. The software does not operate on W2000, only on W98.

Any and all help will be appreciated

Pro Tools Help Files

I downloaded the free edition of protools and have been working with it for some time now. Now I'm trying to figure out how I can bounce my sessions and have everything come out on the same level. There has to be a way to do this. If anyone has the help files and can email the setup for that to me I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

PS. Pro Tool works if you have the equipment.

Celeron users

I have a 366mghz celeron overclocked to 522mghz (via 95mghz bus speed) and ProTools Free seems to be working just fine with 160 meg of ram. I also have a 7200rpm HD. My only limitation seems to be the on board soundcard which limits me to 1 play/ 1 record track at a time. My guess is the problem is the bus speed so open your cases up kick the Celery in the axx.

i need drivers ?

i have a pentium II 466mghz , sound blaster live card, and 350mb in ram, but play and recording don´t start´s. what happen?

Re: Celeron users

Full Duplex?

worked once

Protools free worked once on my P4 1.5 ghz machine(win me) and then locked up on every attempt to load it. Also it made my machine act as if it was Win95. unstable and wierd. thanks but no thanks (shame it looked sooo good to work with!!)im afraid to buy the real thing even if i could afford it. Any input or common experience would be nice to hear.

Re: worked once

Protools is AWESOME!! And when you said, and i quote"im afraid to buy the real thing even if i could afford it." I would really take that back I own a G4 Mac with the Digi001. 256Meg, with 120gig. This system is UNBELIEVABLE!!! Hit me back for more details.

Define Output path?

I'm working my way through the application and figuring out how features work. Digi's documentation leaves something to be desired but what the hell... it's free! I have two sound cards, one being for a Dman2044 breakout box. I can't figure out how to define where to send output. I've messed with the bus assignment but with no luck! Any suggestions??
Thanks!!!

Pro Tools

Here's what I think. Unless you have a Mac set up exclusivley for audio recording don't mess with Pro Tools. This program crashed repeatedly on a Pentium 3, 866 MegaHertz Dell computer. The documentation even says to remove all screensaver programing. I don't want to do that and I don't like unstable programs.

Re: Pro Tools

I've had the exact same problem with the exact same software and the exact same computer. This program eats memory like nobody's business.

Re: Pro Tools

It is strongly recomended as an industry standard that when using any computer based recording program, that you set it up as a sole work station. I enjoy Pro Tools. It's versitility is only limited by my own creativity. It is widly used in most professional stidios, thus making my projects easier to get to finished product.

Just my luck . . .

I find a studio program I'd love to try out, and I'm running (you sitting down?)

VIA Apollo chips
AMD K6-2 @ 550Mhz
Award BIOS J4331 (Mod 02-21-01)

I just can't win, can i?

Just thought you'd like a giggle.

Re: Just my luck . . .

I know the feeling man, I hate that damn k6 processor, so I decided to buy a digi001.
I'm upgrading to this (are YOU sitting down)
thunderbird 1.4ghz
30gb raid drives (3)
DUAL 19" monitors
1gb ram
and 16X burner

the only way to go baby
all in a rackmount case!
