Re: Elastic Audio Error
As you probably know, it's a bit more complicated.
How many tracks that will playback correctly changes based on: 1. Where the files are stored on the disk physically. 2. Size of each file. Long files or many tiny ones. 3. How fragmented your drive is. I'm sure that there's more. It's always a good idea, before starting a new session, to backup your sessions and work on a fresh drive. Or just delete them from your recording drive.

Kenny's system is exceptional in this case. I work on systems all day long where 40-80 tracks is about the norm. Some get less, very few get more. And, no, it's not that cut and dried - there are many factors at play here but, ultimately, it's drive performance at fault. That could mean a lot of things - it may not be able to cache and send the burst of data needed when you press play, there could be other traffic interference or processes that interrupt the drive data, etc. You can try increasing the DAE Playback Buffer (disk cache) from level 2 to level 4 - does it help? |

Re: Elastic Audio Error
Hi,
I tried this and I still had the glitches. BTW.. I use an utility to defrag drives almost everyday!

I haven't changed DAE playback buffer at this point, but I was running at a 1024 HW buffer setting at the time.

Re: Elastic Audio Error
Perhaps I shouldn't mention that I'm getting 136 voices on my Mac PPC G5 Dual 2.0?

Re: Elastic Audio Error
Well, it's not that I can't run high track counts -- I do. It's just that the elastic audio error pops up about as often with the 30 voice session as with the 120 voice session.

Re: Elastic Audio Error
There is a considerable list of minor bugs to be addressed until PT 8.1 or 8.2 be released.

Re: Elastic Audio Error
I have run into this problem when I shouldn't be hitting a limit on my disk. I am simply editing drums with elastic audio (total of about 14-15 tracks all together). If I am in Rhythmic mode, I have no problem at all, but If I switch the tracks to Polyphonic mode, there is one spot in the session that will always crash Pro Tools. I will get the Disk too slow and then the error messages that follow eventually until I get Access violations and then a crash.
This session has caused me this problem on 8.0.3 and 8.0.4. I have trashed preferences and everything. I'm pretty sure it is caused by just one of the audio drum tracks in my session.

Consolidating helps because PT only has to play back one file per track, and not hop between regions/takes in a 'comp'.
