PT HD native 12.3.1. low Buffersize Recording

[lukeyy]

I recently moved from a Protools 10 HD3 system to a native PT12 system and I´m trying to record at low Buffersizes such as 32 or 64 samples

now I was wondering if using delay compensation or not has an effect on my recording - I noticed when I used delay comp with plugins on my tracks the recording is not as tight as if turn dleay comp off..

there is also an option to use low latency monitoring which doesnt allow me to use plugs on the track I´m recording - what does that change to my recording and timing?

thx for your help

any native HD recorders?

When you say "Any Native HD Users" do you mean PT HDN users with a PCIe card or a thunderbolt HD box or do you mean someone running HD12/11 on a non Avid Hardware setup or PT12 Native (Non HD) on native computer?

Curious, as well.
I just switched from HD10 pcie accel to HD12.3.1 w/ HD Native pcie.
Noticed the midi timing is not as tight in current setup.

yep midi is definately a problem and was much tighter in my HD3

but also when using lots of plugins recording with delay comp seems to become quite unsteadily

just wondering if there are tricks to make it tighter.. I´m using HDN thunderbolt with protools 12.3.1 on a mac mini with two super fast internal SSD drives

I also have a problem with my interfaces on 64 samples - they disconnect from time to time.. seems that recording on low buffer sizes is still a problem? I´m working with 2 super fast internal SSD drives so speed shouldnt be a problem..

Running HDN here and I work at the 64 buffer, probably 99% of the time. While tracking, I don't use any plugins that report more than 0-7 samples, BUT(great big BUT) I always have the Delay Compensation showing in the MIX window as there are days when I see large numbers for no reason. I have yet to figure out what is causing this, but sometimes I will see compensation of between 1100 and over 2000 samples, for no apparent reason(no hidden tracks, and no track reporting more than a few samples in the upper of the boxes). If I see this happen, I turn Delay Compensation off and record without issues. When the numbers are reporting correctly, Delay Compensation ON works fine as 7 samples is not a "groove buster"

Same here. Be sure you don't have any active channel sends (even if bypassed).

interesteing thx for the trick! I´ll leave delay display on - its pretty cool that most of the plugs I´m recording with like digi eq and massey comp are 0-1 samples of delay which is like nothing!
any other tricks to minimize -9073 alike errors when recording on low buffer sizes?
