Re: Protools 12.XX performance optimization script and important tips!
[QUOTE=ejinbc;2479142]
1)Use a CPU affinity of ‘FC’ when launching PT ('FFC' for 8700K processors) – this frees up one core for background audio processing on an i7 CPU. This is required on my system to achieve click/pop free operation at low latency – otherwise I get random CPU spikes which will halt recording. At higher buffers (e.g. 256) it is not needed. I appreciated your post but what does FC and FFC mean? |

Still
FC is hexadecimal for the processor assignment. On a 6700K (8 cores) use FC = 11111100 where the 00 are cores not assigned to ProTools. On a 8700K there are 12 cores so I use FFC = 111111111100 Hope that helps. Otherwise, Google is your friend. |

EJINBC:
Your discoveries are quiet much identical to what i wrote in the original subject. The only difference is, for me setting core affinity at protools startup didn't seem to work. I have to do it after the project is started. And yes, clock is more important then core count unless you are going to have a huge number of tracks with lots of parallel processing. The 8700k seems like a great buy for a protools PC right now. |

Athlon, I believe your original post specified that Pro Tools must be open but there was no mention of the actual project /session being open so would this have any bearing on my less than stellar results? My process was to open PT, follow your instructions and THEN open my session. |

It was like protools would override the setting if i did it to early. Doesn't make much sense to me but that's how it worked. |

Re: Protools 12.XX performance optimization script and important tips!
Thank you for clarifying that. Seems I was doing it wrong also so I will try it this way once I get home.

Re: Protools 12.XX performance optimization script and important tips!
This is pretty interesting for me as I have been getting tons of -9093 errors with internet connected, and a fair amount of -9127 errors(this might be incorrect #) errors under my normal load(about 60 tracks at 48K/24bit with a 64 buffer). In my first run at testing doing the Affinity adjustment manually(unchecking the first 2 cores), I got zero errors over an hour of recording(each pass went over 5 minutes or more). The only wildcard at the moment is that I also killed Gobbler from the systray. More testing to follow, but its looking promising.
Last 2 cents, hyperthreading on/off seems(from my own testing) to be hit or miss(some systems will see improvement while others won't) so best to simply try it on your rig and see if one way gives better performance

Re: Protools 12.XX performance optimization script and important tips!
Out of curiosity, aren't a number of hungry plugins designed to utilize hyperthreading?
