7.4 ...more memory?

[notredamer0789]

Hey guys, I just upgraded to Pro Tools 7.4 and the upgraded CS2. I was wondering (because I CANNOT see any differences really...) if it takes up more processor usage than 7.3.1? I try to run sessions that I used to run fine that won't run without me shutting off EVERYTHING before running PT now. Does it take more now? Just curious guys, thanks alot!

7.4 has Elastic Audio, which sucks up additional cpu power. I found I had to make sure all my Elastic Audio was shut off on each track. What are your RAM and CPU specs?

Me too....I'm in the middle of a session with only about 6 tracks and a few plugins and I keep getting messages that I need to eleminate some RTAS. Granted it's when I use a delay puglin mostly but I don't know what will happen with a session with a more average number of tracks.

Oh but I'm running LE 7.1.

While I haven't played with elastic audio as yet, I did find that upgrading my memory helped immensely with 7.4. I'm running the PC version with 2G RAM now and all glitch issues have subsided. I haven't really had problems with the CPU usage because I prefer to keep the effects and add-ons pretty light.

Yeah, 2 GB RAM here and no such issues, even running 28 tracks with multiple plug ins.

i first tried 7.4 cs2 on leopard and found it to be underpowered,

honestly, i put this down to the fact that it isn't officially supported yet,

do you guys think there's any chance that the sluggishness was down to things like elastic audio??

i didn't even bother to research things like that, cos really, i wasn't even expecting protools to open in leopard,,,,so it was a 'nothing lost' situation.

thanks
