Hi,

Not a huge mix and i'm getting this message whilst trying to activate a send

looks like the top chips are always the mixer chips. you need another card Chris.

? how are you getting 192 voices on 3 chips.

I'm thinking you have a DAE corruption

You need to get some more bussing power with another DSP card. Or use RTAS.

Or try and clear up some Busses

Hi,

This is a HD 6, only the top 3 cards are in view!! i have 6 chips 192 voices and i'm only using 132 voices and i have 380+ time slots left.

I've done mixes 3x this size!! with no issues of running out of DSP.

most likely it will work when i go in today

just dealt with this on a mix that i have been working on for 2 years (band comes in intermittently every couple months). So it started in 7.x and primarily it was worked on in 7.4.

Anyways, we were experiencing a TON of those messages in 7.4. Eleven seemed to be the culprit. I deactivated Eleven and we could get some routing going. But in 7.4, when we tried to reactivate Eleven, same issue.

So I loaded the session into 8.1. Still a little squirelly. So I closed it, PT said something about freeing unused DSP, then I loaded a simple session. Closed it. Reloaded the buggy session.... all was ok and has been since. It's worked great ever since PT said something about freeing up unused DSP.

I know little about the super tech side of DSP allocation. but I know 8 opened up the file when 7 wouldn't. You're already on 8. It seems like it needs to open it once the right way so it can remember it the proper way.

doubt it helps but i figured I'd chime in, since it happened to me this week.

Hi Jeremy,

Well today i loaded the session and it said..

Track DLY 2 Insert A (H-Delay) has been made inactive because DAE error was encountered, error 7058.

I loaded the session and tried to activate H-Delay and did the DSP shuffle and has been OK so far

This is by no way a big session!! 12 chips free/ 50 voices free and 380 time slots free.

Just one of those little blips i guess.

Waves... 'nuff said.

glad you got it sorted, sorta.

Good luck.

Have had to deal with this on a HD2 with chips to spare - cycling DSP cache seemed to work things out

Chris-

Unrelated to your issue, but: how do obtian the color on the channels? I have been in PT 8 for over a year and not been able to achieve this. Thanks for indulging this query
