Pro Tools 12 Playback Engine
just got a new laptop, a Dell Inspiron 1545, and installed Pro Tools 8.0.3 on it. When I turn it on for the 1st time, it usually has trouble with the audio clock and when I try to http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Error_Message/en363971 play or record music, the audio I get in return is horrible sounding. It's very "mushy" and you honestly can't tell what was or is being recorded. I then restart the computer and load up Pro Tools again and it seems to work. I've only been using Pro Tools on this computer for about 3 days (although I've been using Pro Tools 7 on a different machine for about 6 months), and after 2 true sessions, this http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=276067 seems to hold true. If anyone has any suggestions on a possible fix for this, that would be great. The true problem that I have is the H/W buffer size errors. I believe the one that I get is H/W buffer size error (-9092). Yesterday I used this to record drums on a new project I've been working on. I had 1 mono guitar track, and one instrument track with a click on it and I was already getting the errors on the 1st attempt to play it back. I've read through many threads of fixes and things that should be done, and this is what I was thinking of doing. I've been trying to record to my system drive (which spins at 5400RPM's), which I now know is a big "no no", so I was thinking of getting a Glyph GT 050Q to fix that problem. Not sure how much memory right now, but I'm thinking 500GB. This is my computer for school and everything else I need to do with it, and right now I don't have enough money to buy a designated computer for Pro Tools. I've read that Internet Explorer 8 can cause issues with Pro Tools, and that you want to disable just about everything you can to free up as much CPU as you can. I was thinking of making a
January 6, 2010 | Mixing, Optimize Pro Tools, Pro Tools, Tips Anytime you open up a Pro Tools session you need to ask yourself this question: Am I http://therecordingrevolution.com/2010/01/06/optimize-pro-tools-the-playback-engine/ going to be recording, or editing/mixing? The answer to this question will determine how http://www.wikihow.com/Allocate-More-Memory-to-Pro-Tools you adjust some crucial settings in the software to optimize your Pro Tools system. Let's take a brief look today at tweaking the Playback Engine in order to get the most out of your computer while recording. Reducing Latency If you are using Pro Tools to record for example (perhaps you're sitting down to take pro tools the One Song One Month Challenge and you want to lay down your main guitar parts) then you want as little latency as possible. What is latency you ask? It's the time it takes for your audio to be converted to digital information (in your audio interface), run through your software, then turned back to an analog signal coming back out of your audio interface. The result…an annoying echo or pro tools 10 delay effect that throws off your timing. Some interfaces have a workaround for this on the actual unit itself (the Mbox 2 Mini for example uses the Mix knob to counteract this). But one thing you can do in all Pro Tools systems is to reduce the Hardware Buffer Size. To do this, simply navigate to the Setup menu and choose Playback Engine. If you have something like 1024 samples in the H/W Buffer Buffer Size drop down, then click on it and choose the lowest sample number available to you. It might be 128 or maybe even down to 32. Choosing a lower buffer size will noticeably reduce your audible latency and make recording much better. On the flip side if you need to edit or mix, you'll probably have error messages pop up with such a low buffer size. Simply change it to the highest option available (1024 is good). Your House In Order While you're at the Playback Engine settings you should also confirm that your RTAS Processors drop down is set to the appropriate option (this depends on your computers CPU of course). And as far as the CPU Usage option, I recommend you don't go much higher than 85% as y
this Article Home » Categories » Computers and Electronics » Software » Media Software ArticleEditDiscuss Edit ArticleHow to Allocate More Memory to Pro Tools Community Q&A Pro Tools is digital audio software made by Avid Technology that can be used on either the Macintosh or Microsoft Windows operating systems. Professionals in the audio industry use Pro Tools for editing and recording in films, television and music venues. Depending on the Pro Tools functions you use, the number of plug-ins you have, and the number of processors in your computer, you may experience lag time or run low on memory. Here are some steps to use to allocate more memory for Pro Tools tasks. Steps 1 Shut down all other applications. To ensure Pro Tools is running at maximum capacity, close down all other open applications on your computer. This frees up RAM and any other available resources that can be allocated to Pro Tools. 2 Customize your settings in the Playback Engine window. In the Playback Engine window, you can customize settings such as your CPU usage limit, the RTAS (Real Time AudioSuite) processors, the hardware buffer size, and the DAE (Digidesign Audio Engine) Playback buffer size to free up memory. 3 Open the Playback Engine window. From Pro Tools, click on "Setup" and select Playback Engine. Change the CPU usage limit. In the Playback Engine window, click on the drop-down menu next to CPU Usage Limit in the HD TDM Settings section to modify the amount of memory you are allocating to Pro Tools. Pro Tools will allow you to set allocation at a maximum of 85 percent if your computer only has one processor. Modify the number of RTAS processors. In the Playback Engine window, click on the drop-down menu next to RTAS Processors in the HD TDM Settings section to modify the amount of processors you want to use for Pro Tools allocation. The RTAS Processors setting allows you to allocate more memory for Pro Tools by utilizing your computer's multiple processors, if applicable. This setting works with the CPU Usage Limit setting in that you can set allocation at 99 percent with multiple processors. Change the hardware buffer size. In the Playback Engine window, click on the drop-down menu next to Hardware Buffer Size in the HD TDM Settings section to increase or decrease the buffer size. Large buffer sizes are ideal for editing and mixing processes because they allow the computer more time to proc
