PT 7.1 Freeze

[Jakob Clemen]

Hi there

I have been working on a session for a while and in that time adding more and more plugins both RTAS and VST using vst2rtas 2.0. Most of the vst are powercore plugs and i have therfore made an aux track with a delay comp. plugin to deal with those issues. The hardware buffer was running at 512 and the CPU was starting to get max'ed out and therefore I wanted to increase the buffer size to 1024. This however stops PT making it impossible to anything else but to reboot. Not even ctrl+alt+delete works. The system is totally dead, which means the reset button is the only option!

I have 11 audio tracks, 9 instrument tracks (5 of them as "triggers" to ex bfd and stylus RMX and have therefore nothing inserted on them), 7 aux tracks and a stereo master track.

Running PT 7.1 on win xp, AMD +3500, 2 GB ram, digi 002R and powercore pci

Am I missing something or should the described situation work without problems?

Any help appreciated

You should start with the steps in the Win XP/ Pro Tools 6.x General Troubleshooting thread and post specific info on your system per the info on that thread if you're unable to resolve the problem.

If you use an external drive for Audio Files, it should lighten your load. Otherwise, adding too many plugins really slows the program down
