Exclusive Control of Audio Device or Cannot Initialize Device
 

Is this the only option?

Maybe its just me, but I have no idea of what the question is here, or what you are using(computer, interface, version of OS, version of Pro Tools....):eek:

Well sorry for leading the discussion from one thing to another.

It's not appropriate do to that on a forum!

After a huge disillusion (because od the fusion drive) I was just wondering what is the best configuration I can get to run Pro Tools safely, only to record :
- few guitar and bass tracks
- superior drummer 3 for drums
- some virtual instrument tracks (violin, synth,...)

I think I will go for this configuration :
- Pro Tools 11.3.2 (wich I hope is supported on Sierra 10.12)
- IMac Sierra 10.12
- Core i7
- 16GB of RAM (it should be enough for small projects like mine)
- SSD Hard Drive (500Go)
- SSD 1or 2 To external hard Drive
- Superior Drummer 3 (250Go of space on hard drive)

My guitar / Bass sound will go like this : Guitar --> Axe Fx II (effect processor and amp simulator) --> Audient ID22 --> computer

I hope the Audient is ok for Pro Tools!!

I will ask a guy who knows Pro Tools and iOS to do the pc optimization since I don't understand every steps.

If it still doesn't work I'll stop making music XD

I would split this off into a separate thread as it has nothing to do with the thread. Camping on a thread like this and going completely OT isn't cool.

Solution for the poster: delete your post here and start a separate one.
