Cant Record Voice On Gb..please Help!! Options

[courage5220]

Not able to record my voice into a GB track yet. Whenever I start recording, it is ok for about 5 seconds, then stops toward the beginning with this GB error message:

Core Audio:
Disk is too slow. (Record)
(-10004)

I am also using a TASCAM US-122 USB Audio/MIDI Interface for the mic.
Mac OSX 10.3.6
1.5 GHz PowerPC G4
512 MB DDR SDRAM
60GB HD

Anyone who can give some input here? I would greatly appreciate it..
cheers.

many thanks ahead of time,
pbs

Hi! Guys...

In my opinion your processor speed and ram should handle this. Although, you don't mention how many tracks you have already going. It could be that your song has already a good number of open tracks?!..plug ins?!..etc.. GB is too simple to deal with problems like this, hum?!.. you can't strach your buffer a little, or ... freeze some stuff... yup!...nice but limited.

I had this once on GB myself, and I did one thing and I never had this disk too slow coment.
Go to your System preferences>Energy saver>options>Processor Performance.... set to "Highest". I don't see many people talking about this and it made a dramatic change on using GB or Digital Perfomance 4.12... to me. This tip was prompt to me by GB itself... nice hum?!?

I use a Laptop, I don't know if that figures for a Desktop, but hey... what if it does...

Cheers,
