Configuring Pro Tools
Allocating Additional Memory to
Pro Tools and DAE
(Mac OS 9 Only)
Under Mac OS 9, allocating additional RAM to
both the Pro Tools and DAE applications is
highly recommended.
To allocate additional memory to Pro Tools:
1 If Pro Tools is currently running, Quit
Pro Tools.
2 In the Finder, choose About This Computer
from the Apple menu.
3 If you have 3 megabytes or more of memory
available (as indicated in the Largest Unused
Block portion of this window), go to step 4. If
you have less than 3 megabytes of free memory
(3,000k), stop here: do not allocate additional
memory to Pro Tools unless you install addi-
tional RAM in your computer.
4 Locate the Pro Tools application on your hard
drive, select it, and choose Get Info from the
Finder’s File menu.
5 Choose Memory from the Show pop-up
menu.
6 Enter the desired amount of memory above the
minimum requirement in the Preferred Size field.
For example, if the Preferred Size field currently
says “30410k” and you wish to allocate an addi-
tional 60 megabytes of memory (1 megabyte
equals 1024 kilobytes), enter “90410” into the
Preferred Size field.
7 Close the Get Info dialog.
The next time you start Pro Tools, the Pro Tools
application will use this new memory alloca-
tion.
To allocate additional memory to DAE:
1 Start Pro Tools so that DAE can calculate its
basic memory allocation.
2 Go to the Finder and choose About This Com-
puter from the Apple menu.
3 If you have 3 megabytes or more of memory
available (as indicated in the Largest Unused
Block portion of this window), go to step 4. If
you have less than 3 megabytes of free memory
(3,000k), stop here: Do not allocate additional
memory to DAE unless you install additional
RAM in your computer.
4 Quit Pro Tools.
5 Open the DAE folder inside your System
Folder, select DAE, and choose Get Info from the
Finder’s File menu.
6 Choose Memory from the Show menu.
7 Enter the desired amount of memory above the
minimum requirement in the Preferred Size field.
For example, if the Preferred Size field currently
says “30410k” and you wish to allocate an addi-
tional 30 megabytes of memory (1 megabyte
equals 1024 kilobytes), enter “60410” into the
Preferred Size field.
8 Close the Get Info dialog.
The next time you start Pro Tools, DAE will use
this new memory allocation.
