Maximum Performance Guidelines for Pro Tools|24 MIX and MIXplus
Systems On Mac OS
32-64 track performance with Pro Tools|24 MIX and MIXplus systems
requires the following configuration:
Compatible SCSI HBA card
Total System RAM: 192MB minimum, 256 MB preferred
Two Pro Tools-qualified hard drives, minimum, three
recommended
When using QuickTime movies with Pro Tools|24 MIX systems, for
reliable performance of 16 or more audio tracks, audio drives should be
connected to a compatible SCSI HBA card, with video drives connected to
the Macintosh internal (preferred) or external bus.
With 9600 and 9500 Power Macintoshes the following configurations
also yield up to 32 track performance. (G3 computers do not include a
Fast SCSI bus or separate internal and external SCSI busses):
● Use of a combination of Pro Tools-qualified hard drives connected
to the CPU's internal and external SCSI busses. Digidesign
recommends that internally mounted drives are installed according
to the drive manufacturer's guidelines.
● Use of two or more qualified hard drives connected to the CPU’s
internal Fast SCSI Bus.
