We explain how to wring that last ounce of http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Error_Message/en363971 power from your Pro Tools rig. Computer power grows every year, but so to do the demands we place on our systems. The increasing sophistication and popularity of software instruments, samplers and the like means that conserving CPU power is still crucial for many of us. In this month’s workshop we’ll be looking at ways in which http://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/getting-most-your-pro-tools-system Pro Tool users can do just that. Playback Parameters Ultimately, the raw processing power of your computer is the key to how well your Pro Tools system will perform, whether you use a Mac or PC, TDM, LE or M–Powered system. It matters even more on host–based systems such as LE and M–Powered, because TDM systems have DSP cards to take care of most audio processing duties, leaving the host processor to manage data management, routing, driving the screen and so on. Either way, your host computer has a finite amount of processing power and when it’s gone, it’s gone! Hard–drive bandwidth can also be an issue, so although you may be able to play back a Session with 32 tracks just fine, the system may start to cough if you do some heavy editing or add lots of plug–ins and automation. Squeezing the last ounce of performance out of your system is nearly always going to be a trade–off of some description. Whether that means fewer plug

Go to the DUC forum and check out the Pro Tools troubleshooting thread for your Hardware/OS. Follow every suggestion they give. Basically, either you're running too many plugs which is killing your CPU power, or your computer's resources are being taxed by unnecessary crap.

underflowed…” won’t go away. August 2nd, 2011 | Audio, Recording, Technology | AVID, hard drive, hardware, Mac, OS X, Pro Tools, Recording, solutions, Western Digital | Comments: 5 The Error Message The audio device buffer underflowed. If this occurs frequently, try decreasing the "H/W Buffer Size" in the Playback Engine panel or remove other devices from the audio firewire bus. (-6085) Occasionally this error pops up in Pro Tools, usually after I return from a meal in the middle of a long recording or mixing session. The session file will only playback audio for 1 second or less and then the error message pops up. Apparently, Pro Tools 9 is a workaholic and doesn’t like taking lunch breaks, at least when running on the particular combination of MacBook Pro, Mbox 2 Pro, and Western Digital hard drive that I’m using. Following the directions to decrease the "H/W Buffer Size" in the Playback Engine panel doesn’t seem to help. In fact, not only does decreasing the buffer size seems contrary to the suggested way to solve a buffer underrun, but it then sometimes throws this error message: A CPU overload occured. If this happens often, try increasing the "H/W Buffer Size" in the Playback Engine Dialog, or removing some plug-ins. (-6101) The Fix I’ve tried a lot of things and the problem seems to be related to the hard drive and firewire ports. Here’s how I fix it. Save and Close the session. Quit Pro Tools. Eject the hard drive used for recording audio. Unplug the audio hard drive and Mbox 2 Pro (or the audio interface you’re using). Wait 10 seconds. Reconnect the audio hard drive and audio interface. Restart Pro Tools. Reopen the session and press Play. If the session plays back without stopping, then it worked. If not, then I don’t know what to tell yo
