Mac OSX makes it much easier optimize your system for ProTools. You no longer have to allocate RAM or trim extensions.<\/p>\n
Be sure to update ProTools to the latest applicable version (currently 6.0.1). Digidesign currently recommends having OSX version 10.2.6. Check www.digidesign.com for software updates and compatibility information. <\/p>\n
We recommend these system settings in order to avoid conflicts while ProTools is running.<\/p>\n
1. Click SCREEN EFFECTS and go to Activation. Set “Time until Screen Effects starts” to NEVER.<\/p>\n
2. Return to System Preferences, and click ENERGY SAVER. Set “Put the computer to sleep….” to NEVER.<\/p>\n
3. Return to System Preferences, and click SOUND. In the Sound Effects page, turn OFF the item “Play user interface sound effects”.<\/p>\n
4. Return to System Preferences, and click QUICKTIME. In the Update page, turn OFF “Check for updates automatically”.<\/p>\n
5. Return to System Preferences, and click CLASSIC. In the Start\/Stop page, turn ON “Warn before starting Classic”.<\/p>\n
6. Return to System Preferences, and click SOFTWARE UPDATE. In the Update Software page, turn OFF “Automatically check for updates…”
You can periodically check for updates, by clicking the “CHECK NOW” button in the Software Update panel. We recommend that you QUIT all applications before doing this. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[34125],"storecat":[],"itemids":[],"manufacturers":[33300],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n
