I get a "Bounce Handler cannot keep up..." error when bouncing a Pro Tools LE session to disk. What
can I do to avoid this?
A couple possible solutions exist for this:
Reduce the Disk Cache in the Apple Memory Control Panel to 512k and restart the computer.
Close all unnecessary windows such as Plug-Ins and the Big Counter before proceeding with a Bounce To Disk.
Allocate more preferred memory to the Pro Tools LE and DAE applications. Click on the icon once to highlight it and
choose File>Get Info in the Finder (shortcut: Command+I). Increase the DAE Preferred size to 70000k (70MB) and
Pro Tools LE to 60000k (60MB). Never change the Minimum memory size. If you have, reset DAE Minimum size to
30000k and Pro Tools Minimum to 35320k.

DMA mode must be enabled for all IDE drives in your system.
To do this in Windows 98 SE:
- Select the Windows "Start" button -> "Settings" -> "Control Panel"
- In the Control Panel folder double-click the "System" control panel.
- Select the "Device Manager" tab 4.
- Under the "Disk drives" branch, right-click the IDE drive(s) you are using.
- Click on "Properties"
- On the "Settings" Tab of the disk's properties dialog, make sure the "DMA" option is enabled.
- Click "OK"
- Close the "System" control panel and the Control Panel folder by clicking on the "Close" button
- Windows will prompt you to restart your computer.
- Repeat for all drives present in your computer
- Once you have restarted follow steps 1-5 above once again to make sure "DMA" is in fact still set to enabled. If
your computer is unable to keep this setting please contact your PC manufacturer.
- If your computer does not have this option and you plan to setup a Digi 001 system (not Audiomedia III), you
should check your BIOS settings for options to enable bus masters.
Print this page or write these instructions, as you will need to restart your computer in order to access your system
BIOS.
To access your computer's BIOS you must restart your computer. During the initial startup your computer will tell
you which key to press in order to enter the setup program (typically DEL or F2 for Award). Press the corresponding
key during startup. You should see an "Entering Setup" message. If present, make this change to your computer's
BIOS:
Allow PCI Bus Masters = Enabled
In addition to checking the BIOS if DMA is not available, you can also check in device manager under "Hard disk
controllers" and make sure that you have the IDE controller and NOT the ATA controller. If you have the ATA
controller you will need to Update the hard disk controller driver to the "standard dual IDE controller".
