Yet another DAE error - 7054...

[Simon Andersson]

Hi lads.

Recently got the NI Komplete 9 Ultimate, installed it, did the Service Center registration and all. Worked like a charm.

I had a bunch of upgrades in Service Center to do and I did those today. Now, when launching Pro Tools, I get this message:

The following plug-ins were made inactive because of insufficient system resources:

Kontakt 5-AAX (3)
Massive-AAX (2)

When launched the tracks with those plug-ins are "muted". If I check the plug-ins it says:

Kontakt 5-AAX (stereo) - DAE Error: DAE error - 7054 was encountered

If I try to open any AAX plug-ins, the same error msg appears. Everything else seems to work just fine.

I've emailed the NI support, but I figured I'll ask you guys as well, since it's possible to be a Pro Tools issue. Been trying to Google this, but with no luck.

Please, need your help! Remember I'm a total n00b at computers (that's why I'm on Mac)


The gear (hope this is enough info):
iMac 27" i7, 16 GB ram, 2 GB graphics, 1 + 3 TB hard drive, OSX 10.7.5 (Lion), Pro Tools 10, Focusrite Liquid Saffire 56 audio interface... And the error messages showed up AFTER doing the updates in NI Service Center.

Deleting Pro Tools Databases and Preferences could help in this situation.

I would also use Disk Utility to repair permissions on your system drive, and reboot. I do this rigorously after every new installation or update.

Let us know how you get on.

Thanx, will check it out!

I did a "poor man's alternative" and put all of the AAX-files in the unused folder. Seems to be working now, but I get the feeling it's not the right way to go... Still waiting for NI to reply, I'll come back on that.
