Bounce to disk error message - Please Help!!!

[goodshotz]

I recently had a problem with this error message:

“\code\aztec_Staley\AlturaPorts\NewFileLibs\Ff\Aud io\FF_Audline 33.

So I searched the fourm looking for answers and I came accross a thread that was identical to my problem. In that thread there was a link that explained what to do if the problem occurs. I folled the instructions throughly and now I am having a problem with my Plugins not working, but they are all installed still. Please help, I am not sure if this a simple fix or if I need to reinstall all my plugins again.

It looks like those tips came from this sticky.

We'll need some more details of your rig. Computer build, PT version and hardware etc. Thanks.

I reinstalled all of the plugins and they now work again, but that error I was getting is still comming up. I tried several times and each bounce is 60 mins.

Any suggestions. I am running my system with the HT on. Does that matter? Do I gain performance if I disable it, or do I gain stability?

Thank You for you assistance.

...I tried several times and each bounce is 60 mins...

60 minutes can be alot of hard drive space depending on content. You might not have HD space. That would be one thing to check. Also go to Setup > Preferences > Operation > Open Ended Record Allocation: > Limit to: 65 minutes.

Also, try a 5 minute bounce and ten minute bounce to trouble shoot. When you do this, change your Open Ended Record Allocation to 10 minutes and report back.

What are you bouncing that is 60 minutes and what plug-ins are you using during the process?

It is a top of the line Sound Blaster sound card that I spent some good money on. I though it would help me with my sound processing. I don't have any problems with it, that I know of. Is it better to use my onboard audio drivers?

The track I was bouncing was only 2 mono tracks and T-Racks EQ on each of them. That's all. I will try the tests and I will post my results.

Thank You for your help.

I managed to get a few lucky bounces using the hard disk allocation trick. But it happened again. I bounced 2 tracks that were about 60 mins so I put it to 65 mins to be safe. Then I had problems twice doing a 40 min bounce. Got the same error.

Should I try to back up the Hard Drive and format it and try again? I think I might be having an issue with paging file allocation according to my Disk Keeper software(Defragmenting)for that drive. Would that affect that because it states that performance is affected if you do not allocate more paging file space? I don't know about that stuff, your expertise is greatly appreciated.

Thank You,
