This is my system, I use Pro Tools 10.3.2. I want to find out what should i set these settings to to get the best recording an usage out of the program with my computer specs...

H/W Buffer Size
Host Processors
CPU Usage Limit

Disk Playback Cache Size....

As, well as any other options i have to change to get the best out of what i have. I use a Digi-design Mbox2.

Actually those specs are a lot like the laptop I'm using, and they're not really enough anymore, especially if you're gonna record or mix a bunch of tracks at the same time. There's a post in this part of the forum called: Optimize Your DAW Computer for Your Home Studio

I have an i3 2x 2.4G HP laptop 4G ram and that has run around 20 tracks of Cubase le6 with a few pluggins and VSTis without breaking a sweat.

I have no idea how CPU hungry PT is but I would have thought 2x 1.9G would run quite a few tracks? It is the plugs you have to be careful of, especially reverbs.

But yes, get the machine optimized for audio and ESPECIALLY kill Wireless adaptors and probably OnBoardSoundcard.
