Noise Blasts up through PT 12.4 [FIXED IN 12.5]

[stevegalante]

Let's report here if this is still happening in 12.3

It's still too early for me to be convinced, but I haven't had a noise blast yet in 12.3. I'm getting more 6101 errors than before though...at least those won't blow your speakers! But they are equally annoying. I still have this nervous feeling though, like I'm afraid to turn it up in fear of the impending blast.

My friend I understand you very well... I'm in the same position of fear...
Let's hope now it went far away.... however I didn't read anything about on 12.3 release notes and bug fixes...

That's why I'm fearful:) Since they've finally acknowledged it exist, surely they would mention it if they fixed it.

Just had my first 12.3 noise blast...so it's still there. So ready for this to be fixed!!!!

This all raises an interesting question.

Considering this bug appears in various versions of Pro Tools, will those who are not entitled to get Dot releases, be entitled to this retrospective bug fix when it eventuates or will it only be a v12 release?

In other words, would one have to upgrade to 12 to get the fix.

Assuming Avid actually get around to ever fixing it!

I would hope they are taking this issue seriously.

Another confirmation of noise blasts in 12.3. Minimal automation on two aux tracks. Just muting and un-muting the tracks.

Funny thing is the blasts only appeared at the end of the song after bouncing the song was complete.

I can confirm it's happening in 12.3 too.
It seems to happen only (or more often) when I hit play very soon after I hit stop.
Hope they fix it right away...

Hey guys, I can't remember - did we rule out using VIs as a cause?

I only ask as I normally almost always run at least one or two VIs per mix (drum triggers and what-have-you), but I've just finished a mix where I committed the triggers to audio first, and didn't get any noise blasts at all.

To extrapolate further - I've no idea how ProTools is programmed but is it possible that the MIDI playback runs in tandem with the audio playback and sometimes gets little glitchy...resulting in a mass of "127" MIDI Notes for split second? You know like if you're in play, and you go to rename a few clips (I use shift-apple-r), sometimes the MIDI stops running but the audio carries on, and then when you've finished the MIDI will just suddenly crash back in with an almighty "BANG"....?

I know, I know, I should be working, not thinking up random theories.
