    I'm receiving the above message every time I try to edit a project on PSA. I can sometimes make one edit to a track before this happens but usually not. I have been plodding along, rebooting every minuite or two, in an effort to finish . I'm getting increasingly frustrated with it though, as it's verging on unusable.
    Not being able to have a decent screen resolution I can accept but crashing every time....

    When I first started using the programme, this didn't happen much. My best guess is that it's something to do with the size of the wav files used, some of which are 50meg.

    Any ideas?

    Am I the only person really using this programme?
    (Not that it's the only thing that crashes, more that it's the main thing I want to use.)
    It isn't exactly giving me the impression of a "rock solid" system that a lot of people seem to have.

    Anyone?

    Thanks,
    Robert.

    I have not much toyed with PSA cause it's nothing i'd likely need
    myself.

    With big files like that yuo'll better to check where temporary
    files etc. are stored. My first hunch would be lookign for ram usage
    cause it can end quite fast if everything is on Ram:disk.

    PSA gives here some hits and is crashing. Finally, PSA is unuseable for me.

    Sorry to hear that.
    I can't give up that easy - PSA is the reason I bought the peg! :-(

    Sheesh! 106 views and tumbleweed in the "other PSA users" department.

    Looks like I *am* the only peg-owner using this programme!

    Hey-ho......there's always audio evolution....;-)

    Hi Tokai,

    I tried increasing it from 16184 to 26184 with no apparent difference.

    Still crashing. :-/

    What do you think would be a reasonable level?

    cheers,
    Robert.

    @Joanna:

    I had a look on start up and the "Jam Session" folder is indeed
    created in RAM:

    How do I go about changing this?

    Thanks,
    Robert.

    least for now) when I commented out one tooltype

    PSA works ok here except I get the wrong
    colors for several of the indicators.
    (orange instead of red). I was able to
    do both tutorials and some other basic
    editing without problems on MorphOS 1.4.

    I have a stack of 20000 in the icon. Using
    these tooltypes:

    ULTRA_WGFX
    TASKPRI=HIGH
    VMM_BUFFERS=LARGE
    OUT DRIVER=AHIOut
    CLASSIC_COLORS
    USE_PPC_POWERUP

    I run 800x600 8 bit screenmode too.

    I am unsure of how to record sound though,
    I don't seem to get anything on the audio
    inputs?

    384 MB.
    Could it be anything to do with my Radeon 8500?

    Yeah the colours come out different from what you choose, but with trial and error, it's possible to get a nice set.

    Yeah, I've completed the tutorials too. It's now that I'm trying to work on a five-minute long, six track (sofar) project, that the crashing problems have started.

    I tried changing mine to match these - had to add "USE_PPC_POWERUP" - still no joy.

    Have you managed to set it larger than that? I know Magnetic did and I'm wondering if this depends on the gfx card.

    Same here.

    I've looked through the reference manual but could not find any solutions. :-(

    Completed tutorial, no problems...

    I didn't alter tooltypes at all

    GFX card is Radeon 9100, I have 256MB of memory.

    It opened nicely on 1024x768 screenmode

    @Jupp3:

    So it works properly at 1024x768 on Radeon 9100. Hmmmm....

    I'm wondering if it would make a difference if I remove a stick of
    RAM.

    In my tweaking and fiddling, Ive discovered a way to record via the
    HD.
    You have to add a new tooltype:
    IN_DRIVER=AHIin.

    I'll start a new thread to report this, as it is not mentioned in the
    manual.
