Show alert when playback overloads the
processor(s)
When this preference option is checked, Digital
Performer will display an alert dialog when system
resources do not allow it to play back audio without
interruption. In other words, if the clip light in the
Audio Performance Monitor lights up, this option
will also cause an alert dialog to appear. This
option is useful for circumstances where you want
to be sure that playback is completely uninter-
rupted, such as if you are transferring a final mix to
a DAT tape. To alleviate processor load, bounce
effects to disk and quit other applications, which
can add additional strain to your computer’s
resources.
Show alert when disk(s) can’t keep up with
record
When this preference option is checked, Digital
Performer will display an alert dialog when system
resources do not allow it to record audio without
interruption.
Show alert when available memory is running
low
When this preference option is checked, Digital
Performer will display an alert dialog when your
computer’s system memory reserved for
applications like Digital Performer is running low.
MultiRecord is always on for audio tracks
