Ring Modulator kind of sound/semi crash
I'm on PT HD 10.3.10, HDX, a 16x16 Avid HD IO and a 192 16in 8out, OSX 10.9.5 (on a Hackentosh).
Everyday about 5-10 times I'm working in a session and all of a sudden, the WHOLE session starts sounding like a feed backing ring modulator of sorts. When this first happened, the only solution I could find was restarting ProTools (not the whole computer). It would go away and then hit me a little later again, often after being AWAY from the computer, i.e. protools only idling. A week ago I figured out that if I go to playback engine and just change the buffer size from my regular 512 to 256 AND THEN BACK, it would go away, meaning I didn't have restart protools. So I have the workaround, but not the fix. Even though I use internal clocking over loop sync between the two interfaces, I believe this has something to do with clocking freaking out (I used to get a lot of 9172 error on the same rig but different computer), because I believe the buffer change forces protools to resync all interfaces. This is just a guess. Anybody see that? And maybe a solution? |

Re: Ring Modulator kind of sound/semi crash
Maybe more details will help. Shooting from the hip:
What drive are you recording to(and how full is it)? How much RAM and CPU does the 'puter have? When you leave the system idle, is that with a session open, or just PT? Have you trashed prefs and database files? Have you run Digitest? Any programs running in the background? All plugins up to date?

Re: Ring Modulator kind of sound/semi crash
512GB SSD drive 200GB available. But does the same if I use a 1TB data drive.
32gb of ram, over clocked 4.7GHz CPU When I idle, I mean pt is open, I just step away. digitest is fine. Have trashed prefs and databases multiple times. programs running in the background sometimes (Safari, iTunes), does the same thing either way. I FEEL like it happens more often with Safari on, but I can't be sure. native processing is at 15 to 25% never higher. 11 processors, 99% (tried 6 and 7 as well)512 buffer. New system (2 months) so all plugins have very current installers. Thanks! |

Re: Ring Modulator kind of sound/semi crash
Just my 2 cents, but I would revert to stock speeds(no overclock) and double-check temps. Once the system is stable and consistent, THEN overclock. Also, how big is the power supply, especially the 12V rail(s)?

Re: Ring Modulator kind of sound/semi crash
This system was built for me, not sure about the power supply. Though I remember the guy saying that it was a power supply bigger than necessary.

Re: Ring Modulator kind of sound/semi crash
Have now dropped the overclocking. Still doing it. Any more ideas, please?

Re: Ring Modulator kind of sound/semi crash
Hey guys... any progress on this? I'm having the same experience exactly, except I use an Apollo quad, so I have to quit pro tools to reset the buffer.

Weird behavior like this I would examine plugins... so be sure to do standard plugin troubleshooting. Start at “Help us Help You” up the top of each DUC web page. |

Re: Ring Modulator kind of sound/semi crash
Still doing it. Fully new system latest protools build. So basically that means only HDX card and interfaces the same. I gave up on chasing it. Resetting buffer every now and then.
