Problems with PT Quartet and PT project sample rate
Hallo PT community!
I've recently bought a PT Quartet and today I tried to open PT sessions I created with my old interface (MBox 3 normal). The thing is that when I open these sessions, PT claims that: "The current playback engine does not support a sample rate of 48kHz." I then set my Quartet, from the PT IO Control Panel, to 48kHz and try to open the very same session again. To my surprise PT this time states: "The current playback engine does not support a sample rate of 44.1kHz." Is there any known incompatibility with old PT sessions created with other interfaces and PT Quartet? I am afraid not being able to retrieve my older work. Any help or insights will be very welcome. Thanks for your patience, Nil |

Re: Problems with PT Quartet and PT project sample rate
This definitely doesn´t have to do anything with the Quartet itself.
I´m using the original, silver Apogee version of the Quartet and could open any old session without any problems. It must be a problem with the Avid driver for the Avid version of the Quartet (not again ...those Avid hardware drivers...). Or with the PTI/O software. The Apogee driver/Maestro software is not showing such an issue at all. Maybe try to disconnect the Quartet from the system and open your old sessions with the internal audio engine only. Then save these sessions in the new PT11 format. After that uninstall and reinstall the Avid Quartet driver and the PTI/O software. Make sure that the sample rate setting on the Quartet matches the sessions and try to open the new PT11 versions of your old sessions. No guarantee that it will help in any way but it´s worth a try. As mentioned before if there´s a problem it´s in the Avid driver/PT I/O software as the Quartet itself and the Maestro software (Apogee version of PTI/O) are not showing such an issue at all. The best of success anyway, VRW Mac Mini i7Quad, 16GB Ram, MBP Mid 2012 2,5GHz i5, 16GB Ram, Mac OSX 10.10.2 Yosemite, Apogee Quartet+Duet 2 Genelec Active, Yamaha NS10, Pro Tools 11.3.1, Logic 10.0.7, Waves, MCDSP, Duende Native, HOFA, IK Multimedia, NI etc. |

PS: I forgot, after uninstalling, before reinstalling the Quartet driver and the PTi/O software,
you may do the whole trash preferences/repair disk permissions stuff! Just to "clear up" your system and PT itself before trying it once again. Cheers! |

Re: Problems with PT Quartet and PT project sample rate
Yep! I do agree VRW. Thanks for your words! I am also sure it has to do with PT I/O drivers. If I don't find any other solution, I'll try to solve it as you said, however, all my old sessions were created with PT11.
It is a shame that they put out this drivers with such basic problems. I will add something even more crazy: I also have had problems with sample rates in the same session created and later opened again with the same Quartet. Any PT staff help? Does anyone have had similar problems as I do? Thanks guys for the support! Nil Quote:

Re: Problems with PT Quartet and PT project sample rate
There shouldn't be any compatibility issues when opening a session that was created with a different interface. Let's try something:
1. Try launching Pro Tools while holding the 'N' key. This should bring up the Playback Engine prior to PT fully launching. 2. Choose a different Playback Engine and hit OK. 3. Open a session. 4. Go to Setup > Playback Engine and choose the Quartet again. Do you get the same message? If not, then you should be OK. If so, try an uninstall and reinstall of the latest drivers available on http://www.avid.com/drivers.

Re: Problems with PT Quartet and PT project sample rate
Hi Donny.
When the 'Playback Engine' dialog pops up before PT starts, I am not allowed to choose the Engine, as PT Quartet is automatically selected (see attached photo). I have in fact the latest drivers installed. Thanks !! :) Nil |
