Download Documentation

For more information, see the Pro Tools 6 documents in the Support > Tech Support > Technical Document Library section. Also included with new systems and Pro Tools 6 upgrade CDs.

PCI Slot Required

Note: The Audiomedia III card requires a PCI slot. Apple computers that do not contain PCI slots, such as the G4 Cube and iMac, are not supported with the Audiomedia III. Also, PowerBook Cardbus PCI Expansion Chassis are currently not supported with Pro Tools 6.0.1 and Mac OS 10.2.3 and 10.2.4. We are actively working with Apple on support for cardbus chassis. Please refer to these compatibility pages for updates.

Supported CPU Models, Speeds & Requirements

* Power Macintosh G4 (AGP graphics)


PCI vs. AGP Graphics Support

Pro Tools 6 systems are not supported with the older Blue & White G3s or the PCI Graphics G4s, only the AGP graphics models.

Dual-processor Support

Pro Tools 6.0.1 is fully compatible with Apple dual-processor G4s running OS X. There is no need to install any additional software. Dual-processor users will experience increased performance over the single-processor CPUs.

Additional Computer Requirements

Mac OS 10.2.3,10.2.4 or 10.2.5 Required

* See System Software: Mac OS X Requirements


Total System RAM:

* 384 MB Minimum Total System RAM
* 512 MB RAM suggested for sessions with high edit density, extensive use of plug-ins, or simultaneous use with MIDI sequencers. More RAM increases overall system and Pro Tools performance.
* 2 GB RAM requires Pro Tools LE version 6.0.1 or higher
* OS X does not require minimum or preferred RAM settings for Pro Tools as RAM is dynamically allocated


Monitor, color required, minimum resolution of 1024 x 768

Apple QuickTime v6.0.1 or 6.1

Audiomedia III Card for the Mac OS

Known Incompatibility with older Audiomedia III Cards & The Blue & White G3 and G4:

A revision "QC" or later of the Audiomedia III card's AMCC chip is required for Blue & White G3 and G4 compatibility. (an Apple PowerMac G4 AGP Graphics desktop cpu is required for Pro Tools LE 6.0 for Mac OS X)

This revision number appears on the AMCC chip following number "5933". Older versions can cause your computer to hang while booting, or when launching Pro Tools or DigiTest. This chip was revised to QC on the Audiomedia III to allow for compatibility with PCs that did not allow you to disable PCI Burst Mode (it was revied shortly thereafter to QE). Ways to identify these boards are in the grid below:
Board S/N's Below Manufactured Before Board Rev Before
Audiomedia III BK16376 3/18/97 Rev E

If a customer has previously updated their board (or received a refurbished card), the serial number will remain the same, but the board revision will be updated (and the AMCC chip will have "QC" or later). Cards with the revision "Q" chip can be upgraded. Please contact your local Digidesign office using the following procedure:
