Garbled Audio in PT12?

[KingFish]

Certainly more Ram a.s.a.p

in the mean time...Try

- Setting Playback Buffer to 1024 or Higher (If available)
- UNCHECK "Ignore Errors" - you might get 91xx errors, however may be able to run clear / un-mangled audio.

The garbled audio is what would happen when these important pieces of audio gear is underpowered.

Installing the 16GB ram will not make a difference unless you have HD PT and can use Disc Cache so the only thing that will help you here is a 7200rpm hard drive in a USB3 chassi, not USB2 as that will be the same problem as you have now.

Also do make sure you do NOT buy a Fusion drive, Green drive, Blue drive as these are power saving units that will mess it up even more than now.

What is your internal drive? Is that also 5400rpm? If that is a Yes then nothing you do or purchase will make any difference until you swap out the recording drive to a faster one and if that doesn't help then your internal drive is another elephant in the room.

Pro Tools won't work unless everything is what it needs, lot of people say "but it works with Logic and Ciubase" etc and you can't compare PT with anything on the market.

Hope you get this sorted but if i were you i would return the ram and get a faster drive and maybe buy 8GB for now.

That's good information, thanks. I planned on buying a faster HDD, so maybe now is the time. I appreciate the advice!

The RAM will be updated shortly. Buffer is set to 1024, the highest it goes. I'll try the Ignore Errors thing, thanks.
