ProTools 9 & UAD working together
I recently heard about UAD becoming a third party plugin with avid, but I was wondering if anyone has seen or heard anything else about it.
I have a UAD-2 card and have trouble with sessions the bigger they get. I can be at around 25% usage @ 256samples, 24 tracks and maybe to or 3 UAD plugins on busses and it will start giving me the "CPU" error. Even at a higher sample rate, it will do the same thing. Anyone else with this problem. Hopefully it will run smoother sooner or later. Thanks for any feedback.

I've run into similar problems, but have yet to work it out. However, I'm thinking that the issue might br resolved if you uninstall PT, hardware drivers and UAD, restart you PC, then re-install drivers for harware, UAD and then PT, in that order.
That migh sound complicated but from what I'm reading it seems to be a frequent problem for PT 9 to malfunction with drivers. |

Re: ProTools 9 & UAD working together
From what I understand, UA recommends running Pro Tools at a 1024 buffer when using their cards for optimum performance.
You may also want to try reducing the number of processors dedicated to RTAS in the Playback Engine. Start with reducing it by 1 and continue reducing until the errors go away. |

Re: ProTools 9 & UAD working together
Ok. Good to know. Is your info dealing with just PT9? Because when I had Pt8.0.xx installed, it worked fine no matter what number of processors I had in the playback engine. Or the sample rate. I try to keep it at 256 smps and 3 cores. 1024 I could notice latency right away(PT8). I will try those specs with the ADC to see what happens.
Thanks alot!! |

Re: ProTools 9 & UAD working together
Well @Mason, It seemed to work ok for a little while until the cpu usage got up to around 50%, using 2 or 3 cores. @Digi A the start of a session with a few tracks, it works but once I start increasing the tracks, it happens. I still have to drop the sample rate back down to 128 or 256 in order to record without latency. I don't even used 50% of the UAD2 card either. I want to use the plugins I have for it, but I don't want have it stopping on me every other time I press play. Waves, digi-plugins, etc.. are reliable for now until something is solved.

Re: ProTools 9 & UAD working together
I'm having issues with two uad-1 cards installed on my PC. If I use Ableton Live, everything's fine. In PT, things are different. If I instantiate two or three uad plugins on the same track, it all works. Instead, if I spread those three plugins on three separate tracks, the gui becomes sluggish. At that point, I take away one core from the playback prefs menu and things get normal again until I add a further uad plugin, at which point I'm back to the sluggish gui.
This is obviously a PT problem. I've tried to set different buffer sizes from 128 to 1024. Live behaves well in all cases but PT not so as I've described above. |
