If this occurs frequently, reduce the number of plug-ins or increase H/W Buffer in the Playback Engine Dialog. (-6086) The audio device buffer underflowed. If this occurs frequently, try decreasing the "H/W Buffer Size” in the Playback Engine Dialog (6085). You are running out of CPU power. Remove some RTAS plug-ins or increase the CPU Usage Limit in the Playback Engine

been in that situation — desperate to add one more plug–in, but with a computer on the verge of collapse. We explain how to wring that last http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Error_Message/en363971 ounce of 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 http://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/getting-most-your-pro-tools-system ways in which 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 des
January 6, 2010 | Mixing, Optimize Pro Tools, Pro Tools, Tips Anytime you open up a Pro Tools session you http://therecordingrevolution.com/2010/01/06/optimize-pro-tools-the-playback-engine/ need to ask yourself this question: Am I going to be recording, or editing/mixing? The answer to this question will determine how 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 pro tools If you are using Pro Tools to record for example (perhaps you're sitting down to take 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 pro tools buffer 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 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).
