Re: Pro Tools 10 CPU Overload
Ok... I didn'tmean to ask the same question. I just phrased it incorrectly. THanks forthe response. My internal drive on my laptop is 7200seagate solid state hybrid.
Is EZ drummer less fussy than Kontakt5 in Pro Tools 10? I know EZ drummer is just for drums obviously but that is what I was using Kontakt for, at the moment. I did get the 10.3 update last night as well so I will mees around this week when I get an opportnity and see what happens. Thanks again. |

Most VIs are less hassle than NI ones, but things have supposed to have improved with NI AAX plugins, I have no experience there. But NI deserve huge kudos for having AAX stuff in the market now. A huge confidence boost for their Pro Tools customers. I wish other VI vendors were there as well.
Instead of swapping VI software now I would start by focusing on cleaning up your system, getting it set up right and all things including Sandra working properly. A SSD hybrid drive is not an SSD drive. I largely see the hybrids as a waste, if you want SSD performance get the real thing (and even then all SSD are not created equal, interms of reliability or performance. And understanding SSD write performance is very complex--not an issue for a sample drive however.). Darryl |

Re: Pro Tools 10 CPU Overload
The only thing that gets stored in the NAND memory slot of the SSD hybrid port (NAND FOR WD, others might use other type of memory module) is the files that are the most often used by the system also referred to as "hot data" as the Hybrid drive used a tiered data storing architecture. WD doesn't say how much NAND memory module they are using on their Hybrid drive so it could be very very small. It's safe to say that not all of your VI's samples are stored in the NAND module, if any at all. So you really don't have a performance boost there.
As mentioned before, Get a regular HDD a caviar black from WD is a very good choice and preferred by many, and take all the libraries (not the programs themselves) and place them onto that drive. Then you simply have to link the path of the libraries to the VI. Read your manual for NI on how to do that. You can do the same with the libraries that comes with PT VI's, Toontrak, EWQL and most others. I don't use EZ drummer but I use it's big brother SD2 and it works well with PT 10. |

Re: Pro Tools 10 CPU Overload
Any opinion on an WD external drive for sample libraries?? Thanks for the input.

For samples I would look for a 7200 RPM USB 2 or USB 3 (for future goodness) external drive that otherwise meets all the same requirements as an audio drive. That way you can also use it for either purpose. WDC black seem great SATA drives and you may find high end enclosure suppliers who use these. Cheaper WDC Caviar Green drives are widely used in cheap external drives, including RAID drives. Avoid them. WDC also does not think consumers should be clearly told what actual drives are used in its external drives. I just would not buy any WDC external drive given that attitude. Darryl |

Re: Pro Tools 10 CPU Overload
If you want to use an external HDD it's pretty simple. Buy a empty external Case that connects either by e-sata or usb. Buy a WD Caviar black or any other one that doesn't have the mention green on it. Set it in the empty external case. It's might cost you less buy doing that (even more so if you go with very large size HDD), and you will have the exact specs and size you want.
As an example http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817173042 for the external enclosure http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136533 WD caviar Black 1 tb for a grand total of 130 plus taxes. |

Hi, you may also want to check out the optimisations and trouble shooting for Windows 7
http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/e...791&popup=true What helped me in particular with my error messages was when i deleted my Pro Tools Databases and preferences (as explained in the trouble shooting section. Cheers George |
