Re: FAST! Software In Use With Pro-Tools 12 -Video links

My audio drive is still a "spinner", but its not even an issue until I start hitting around 100 tracks. In theory, it should help a slower drive more than it would help a faster drive. Disk Cache might be HD only, cant remember. It loads portions of the audio around your playhead into ram to give you a faster response time for start/stop and take the drive transfer out of the equation.

Re: FAST! Software In Use With Pro-Tools 12 -Video links
Disk Cache in PT12 Native from 12.2 up:
http://blog.rspeaudio.com/2015/09/av...-with-new.html Pro Tools 12.2 Disk Cache - This enables you to play large sessions of lower grade storage or even network attached storage by preloading the media from the session into RAM. In the Playback Engine the Cache Size setting how much Memory (RAM) the Avid Audio Engine (AAE) allocates to pre-buffer audio for playback and recording. In most cases, the default setting of Normal is the best Cache Size for most sessions. Now you obviously need a lot of RAM but you can configure how much RAM Pro Tools can use and PT will start loading media into RAM working from both sides of the cursor until the whole session is loaded or it fills the RAM you have allocated. http://duc.avid.com/showpost.php?p=2317644&postcount=5 Go to Setup (menu) > Playback engine. You'll find it at the bottom of that window. I have it set to 5 GB. There's really nothing more to it. (Thanks, Stig!)

Re: FAST! Software In Use With Pro-Tools 12 -Video links
Its free to download and try out. I saw 0 improvement, so might have to try it out with your setup. Also to note, with Disk cache set at default, nothing changed. Still no improvement using it.

Re: FAST! Software In Use With Pro-Tools 12 -Video links
I am a bit geeky to say the least on this stuff. My systems are optimized FAR more than what they and Avid show, which are basic at best.

Fast! Has made a discernible difference to my system in all respects and I cannot praise it highly enough really; I do think that my multiple SSD's have benefited in conjunction with it though so I can't comment on standard hard drives. Not just Pro-Tools, my whole PC system is performing better than I ever dreamed it could to be honest, in the last three days since I have been using Fast! my productivity is up and everything, internet speeds, file transfers etc., have all increased dramatically and that's all I can say - it may not work as dramatically on older or less powerful systems than the one I have built, but it has turbo-boosted everything on mine, with no side-effects or gremlins. It has to be worth trying I guess. |

I am going to start loading a session with as many plug-ins as I can until it overloads just to see how dramatic the Fast! improvements have been, I reckon my system is closer to Thunderbolt than Firewire now using Fast! All I can say really, my experience has vastly improved... |

Re: FAST! Software In Use With Pro-Tools 12 -Video links
I think this is a case of YMMV. I just tried the demo on my PT computer - W10, PT12.7.1 - and it bogged it down. PT was slow to open, so were other programs and opening a browser took longer than usual. Rolling back to the image I made before trying it out. Fortunately I don't stress PT and I'm not - touch wood - having the 9173 and other errors some are experiencing. Now, of course, I've totally hexed myself
