Allocating Additional Memory
to Pro Tools
(Mac OS 9 Only)
If you plan to use a large number of TDM plug-
ins in addition to the DigiRack TDM plug-ins in-
cluded with Pro Tools, allocating additional
memory to Pro Tools will help ensure reliable
system performance.
If enough RAM is available in your computer, al-
locate 1–2 megabytes of additional RAM to
Pro Tools for each non-DigiRack plug-in in-
stalled on your system.
To allocate additional memory to Pro Tools:
1 Start Pro Tools so that it 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 MB or more of memory available
(as indicated in the Largest Unused Block por-
tion of this window), go to step 4. If you have
less than 3 MB of free memory, stop here: Do
not allocate additional memory to Pro Tools un-
less you install additional RAM in your com-
puter.
4 Quit Pro Tools.
5 Open the Pro Tools folder, select the Pro Tools
application, 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 “30410”k and you want to allocate an addi-
tional 3 MB of memory (1 megabyte equals
1,024 kilobytes), enter “33482”k into the Pre-
ferred Size field.
8 Close the Get Info dialog.
The next time you start Pro Tools, it will use this
new memory allocation.
