Time Slots Q?
For some strange reason I'm getting this "I don't have enough time slots to create a output for trk whatever". What the heck is going on. I have four Mix Cards and 1.5gig ram. Is'nt that enough? Please, I'm in the middle of a mix and can't go any further. ASAP

Re: Time Slots Q?
On very large sessions - lots of tracks, auxes and plugins, you can max out the 256 allowed time slots that TDM can handle for any instant of time. Check your DSP and take a look at the the Time Slot bar. No amount of extra DSP cards or RAM is going to help you.
Some things you can do to free up time slots: 1) buy another Protools rig and sync the two together [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] or 2) deactivate some tracks and bounce some plugin heavy tracks down to free up some time slots. 3) deactivate any tracks, auxes and plugins that aren't being used. Hope that helps. |

Re: Time Slots Q?
I had the same problem lately, and have since then discovered that in the system usage windows you have a time slot counter.
*Of course* the manual does not elaborate on such an embarrassing issue (p13 and 376 of the 5.1 reg guide) I agree this is a severe restriction when doing full blown mixes, and to say the truth I felt very much betrayed of not having been warned about this. This is plainly lying by omission [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img] Had I known this before I would have chosen a different plugin buying strategy. Since the last incident I bought Channel Strip, that combine gate comp eq in one plugin. This saves valuable time slots. I also avoid keeping unused aux sends or tracks Mark Haliday |

Re: Time Slots Q?
Hi,
It is common knowledge that TDM has 256 time slots. There is a possibility to run out of time slots based on how big your session is and how many PI's you use. I don't think it a case of lying by omission at all. For Digi to adress this they will have to release new hardware. tech |
