i have been using my mbox/ibook g4 800 for about five mos. with no problems up until about a week ago, i started getting a message saying cpu usage is holding off usb audio, increase h/w buffer or remove plug-ins. i get this when my h/w buffer is already as high as it can go, and i'm only running like four tracks with no plug-ins at all. how could this be? i'm running osx 10.3/pt le 6.2.2
i'm not using an external hard drive, could this be part of the problem? thanx |

What is the speed of your current hard drive? My understanding is that Pro Tools LE recommends a hard drive speed of 7200+ rpm with a seek time of 10 ms or less. When I purchased the MBox it was strongly recommended that I purchase an external firewire Glyph drive (which are spendy $$) I was using the MBox on my 12" 1ghz powerbook, which has a 4200 rpm hard disk, and was getting a similar error when recording only 2 live tracks. I debated getting an external hard drive but ended up scrapping the MBox in favor of the MOTU 828II. If you end up buying an external firewire hard drive please let me know how it works out for you. Good Luck!
