Chapter 3: Macintosh Configuration 23
Avoid Recording to System Drives
Although Pro Tools will let you record to your
system drive, this is generally not recom-
mended. Recording and playback on system
drives results in lower track counts and fewer
plug-ins. You should record to system drives
only when necessary—for example, if your com-
puter system has just one hard drive.
Removing Pro Tools on
Mac OS X
If you need to remove Pro Tools from your com-
puter, you can use the Installer CD-ROM or the
downloaded Installer file.
To remove Pro Tools from your computer:
1 Make sure you are logged in as an Administra-
tor for the account where Pro Tools is installed.
For details on Administrator privileges in
Mac OS X, refer to your Apple OS X documenta-
tion.
2 Insert the Pro Tools M-Powered Installer CD-
ROM in your CD-ROM drive. Double-click “In-
stall Pro Tools M-Powered.”
3 Enter your Administrator password and click
OK.
4 In the Installer window, choose Uninstall
from the pop-up menu, and click Uninstall.
5 Follow the on-screen instructions to remove
Pro Tools.
6 When finished, click Quit to close the Installer
window.
