Re: Ready to pull the plug. Yup - another goodbye post

I agree. I ran Sibelius and Protools on an i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz. I had to set the buffers to 256 or 512 samples to get smooth playback. Some cores were maxed out while the rest were barely...

Thanks for the offer.

Ready to pull the plug. Yup - another goodbye post

I think I’m done with Protools.

My annual renewal is coming due in 7 days.

I’ve been using Protools since V8 and M-audio. I’ve spent way too much time over the years finessing Protools and...

Hi all,

I thought I would share this as I've seen quite a few posts related to systems slowing down if the Application Manager is running.

Magix Audio Cleaning Lab did a great job for me on a project I thought was hopeless. A 50 year old recording pressed to 33 1/3 in a church with one microphone 50 feet away from the wedding...

Re: Two jobs due and Pro Tools won't work!!!

This may sound totally crazy but I've stabilized my system and solved that problem months ago. I reduced the CPUs to just 3. On an i7 with 4 real cores this implies that 1 real core and 1 virtual...

Re: SynthMaster 2.5 is "officially" RTAS now! Demo available

That's funny - I thought it was buggy software. It never occurred to me that it was on purpose. I now share the sentiment. It's like Try-sound.com and those annoying birds. Try to audition a...

Re: Remote on off switch for pc

I'd be interested to hear from you if you manage to get it to work with a USB keyboard or if you have to revert to the ps2 port.

Good luck.

Re: "The current playback engine does not support a sample rate of 48 KHz"

I think this problem usually occurs if you have another sound card or motherboard sound feature in your computer and windows has defaulted to it for some reason.

Re: Protools 9.0.6 and addictive Drums

Re: VI (specifically Mini Grand) Volume Level Problem / Issue

Re: VEPro - Aria - Multi not working the way I think it should in PT9

update

RTAS version of Aria works ok as Multi.

So this is looking like a VST problem with ARIA and VEPro not setting it up properly to route the channel outs in the Multi version.
