Re: Audio tracks stop playing back/outputs disable
This happens on my 11.3.1 Windows setup. But it only happens when I turn a plugin on or off that causes an audible 'pop'. Something that would generate a +100dbfs signal (loud!).
I have to disable the master track, then re-enable it. Then it is fine. Bad habit I have of bypassing plugins on the fly to hear the difference. It's not random.. not exactly. Only when a noise in the audio chain takes the system to loud internally. Maybe it's a math overflow error in the audio engine somewhere... Thanks

Re: Audio tracks stop playing back/outputs disable
What is that? dBFS is an absolute, there is nothing over 0.0dBFS

Re: Audio tracks stop playing back/outputs disable
:) Hyperbole :)
I believe that 0.0dbfs is based on a 24bit signal. 32 and 64 bit float will handle a much larger signal and capable of going over the 0.0dbfs. But that is only internal to the DAW audio engine and some (but not all) plugins. In my case.. It's a pretty loud pop that brings on the silent output...

Re: Audio tracks stop playing back/outputs disable
FS of the dBFS means Full Signal.
Floating Point math is another story, but let us not go there as this discussion would go badly sideways...

Re: Audio tracks stop playing back/outputs disable
I just registered on the forum. I logged a thread "Sound Suddenly Stops" and today, sifting through the threads I saw this one.
I'm using PT 11.3.1 and having the same issue - I'll have an audio clip playing and then the sound just stops. Meters are still registering but nothing audible. I don't know if it's Pro Tools or my m-audio fast track pro. Things I've tried that haven't resolved the issue... Reinstalling old m-audio driver Reinstalling new m-audio driver Changing bit depth (in m-audio driver and in PT session) and sample rate Used wart to power the fast track pro instead of bus/usb (Ensured the usb is connected to usb2) Tried connecting to different USB ports on the back of the PC tower Control panel Made sure fast track pro is the default sound card Pro Tools Quitting PT and reopening session Resetting outputs Resetting sample rate of clip (sometimes a short term fix) Right clicking on PT icon and in compatibility, changing OS to another OS (this sometimes has worked) Things I haven't tried but probably will today Deleting master track (I saw that tip in this thread) Swapping the USB cable for a new one Loading the fast track pro into a catapult and firing it out the window I read a response from Avid to someone that was frustrated with this issue and some of the remedies included Make sure speakers are connected and switched on Make sure external sound card is connected and switched on Make sure the clip is not muted Maybe fair enough if this was isolated and the person was an obvious newbie. But this issue appears to be pretty systemic, and not isolated to a specific release, or sound card. For me, my Avid setup just doesn't reliably do what it is supposed to do, even though I paid top dollar for it. I'm spending more time trying to sort my PT chain than I am making music. If making music was my livelihood, I'm wondering how long would it take me to go bankrupt. |
