Everytime I record with Protools Se even with low buffer settings set too "recording and performing"
Sample rate 41 kHz Bit Rate 16-Bit...the play back skips and sounds choppy, I save what I recorded. I exit out protools to play the tracks back again then its fine.
Then when I record and play back again it gets choppy. Sometimes it just get choppy as soon I play what I worked on. It doesnt infer with how I record it, just doesnt play back good at times and I have to restart the program till it plays properly YES it does get choppy sometimes when I try to export it too. So, I have to REALLY make sure it doesnt get choppy when I finalize what I worked on. I cant figure out why it does it. Sometimes the program crashes all together.
I dont know if its my processor or hard drive.
Here is my specs of my laptop i am using.
Toshiba M400
Intel(R) Core (TM) 2 CPU Centrino Processor
T5600 @1.83GHZ
I have 120 GB hard drive, and 1 tb external Hard drive
Reading at 3.24 GB of Ram (Technically it has 4 GB chip)
Windows xp Service pack 3
for some stupid (corporate reason) my G5 powermac doesnt read protools Se cause some corporate A holes made the software NOT compatible with that processor! Maybe I should thank Pro tools and Mac for that. Their both in BED with each other anyways. (Nothing is wrong with that computer either, I should NOT have to Modify the G5 to run simple program. Waste of time and money all together.)
If my powermac could run protools i wouldnt have this complication, I dont think. I got my powermac when it used to cost 1200-2200 I got it for $800 on ebay like 3 yrs ago. I decided to sit on that computer just in case I may need to use it. Turns out I cant even do that.
Anyways, is my laptop outdated for this software? If so, what kinda laptop would work good with Protools Se. (NO I will not buy upgraded pro tools unless its free. cause, of technical issues i'm having with the previous version.) I really dont want to go out and buy Digital Performer either, I am already used to Protools Se and it came with microphone that works really well.
Only thing I can do at this point sell my laptop and get one that would actually work with pro tool se without it skipping. (Anyone can recommend a decent windows laptop...dont say mac book pro, I cant afford it. Plus my pro tools would probably not run with intel software when I actually do get one. That's how those corporate a holes work.)
Any helpful response would be good...I am not techy just trying to record some music.
I want very simple solution without anymore aggravation. I like my G5 i'm NOT selling it. (In defense of powermac G5 if it can run video software and can do a lot of special effect designing and work with music at the same time, without even FREEZING ONCE! There is NO REASON for it NOT to work with pro tools se...There should be patch to be made for it, now that someone is complaining. I understand windows sucks for music but, it shouldn't suck this bad.)
Thank you for your time!
