2018.3 & 4 Running Well Here.

Yeah I never had sessions that ran at a 32 buffer.

Must be nice.

Neither have we but running a session at 32 buffersize or 64 buffer doesn't do squat for any session, no one will be able to hear that hence the big studios don't care to complain about that.

We produce and record a-list artists for major labels all the time and never had a whiff of mentioning regarding tracking at 32 or 64 so why chase this for no good reason?

Yeah for HDX it won’t matter anyway but even at HD Native I wasn’t able to...

But yes you are right

It is system dependant though. If you are running an interface with inherently low latency (HDX, HDn, Lynx AES16e, RME HDSPe, etc), then the improvement in overall system latency when flicking between32, 64 or 128 samples won't be so catastrophic. On my system, with a Zen Studio the difference between 32 sample and 128 sample buffers at 48kHz is ~5ms of latency or ~11ms of latency. The latter is a nice flam in the ear of a vocalist trying to record. Sure, the Zen Studio has a nice FPGA based mixer to avoid it... but being able to run at 32 or 64 samples means I can create headphone mixes and monitor through plugins directly in Pro Tools.

Low sample buffers may do squat for you... but they are the difference between a happy and unhappy performer for me.

I’m a drummer, recording at 32 or 64 is VERY different than 128. I’ve done it a bunch.

Also if a vocalist is tracking at 128 and there’s vocal bleed from headphones back to the mic the comb effect is way more noticeable.

If it works for you that’s cool though.

Drummer here as well (amongst other instruments) and tracking at 128 ain't a problem. I just think Charlie Watts and have at it.

Like I said, if it works for you at 128 all good! It is noticeable to some people though.

My outdated, small ram, system is running very well with Pro Tools 2018.3.

MIDI combined with audio, lots of editing.

CPU at 12%

We are getting back to the stability of Pro Tools 9.

I'm still getting a long-standing issue where bouncing to Quicktime offline causes a hang. I'd say it only happens one time in 20 or 30 so it's pretty rare, and there's no rhyme nor reason as to what causes a hang. When I restart and do it again, it always works fine. I have to keep remembering to save every time before I bounce, just in case.

I have similar issues with dragging a midi track to an audio track to commit. Most of the time no problem, once in a while it causes a permanent hang. Anyone else have either of these?

Hopefully not but rather the stability of PT 5.3
