DAE /PLAYBACK ISSUE -unsatisfied customer! HELP
 
HELLO FOLKS,

First off, I do enjoy what Pro tools has to offer but as of late, I want to throw my DIGI 002R right out the window!


PROBLEM #1,
We have had our DIGI 002R for less than a year, and the power harness goes out for no reason.
If your mute light stays on with no other yellow lights, that means your harness went out.
From my research it is a very common problem, yet Digi to my knowledge hasn't recalled the product or announced the issue to the public. However, they do resolve the problem and overnight mail you the piece.


PROBLEM #2,
I am recieving the following problem:
"DAE, cant get audio from the disk fast enough. your disk may be too slow or too fragmented. a firewire disk may be having trouble due to the extra firewire bandwidth or cpu load."

IF ANYONE CAN HELP with #2, please post, we really need our studio up and running asap....


Obviously I am a tadbit disgruntled, more frustrated than anything, $1,500 didn't even last half a year with no problems..hahahah wow,

signed,
please help


THANK YOU ALL.

Hopefully you are not putting sessions on your system drive, or you have tried a different firewire drive?

What is the error number in the message?

Also, please provide a complete system profile - computer model, OS version, PT version, attached peripherals and any other pertinent info.

It is strongly recommended that you not use your system drive for recording and playing back Pro Tools sessions.

i spent more than you did and i occasionally get these problems. but you can remedy it. maybe if you gave more information, people could help you better. how big are your sessions??? does it happen with all sessions? what OS and PT versions are you running? what kind of FW drive is it? is it full? do you have disk warrior? have you tried all the maintenance things in the DIGI trouble shooting? repaired disk permissions? cleared everything off the drive and re-formatted according to DIG specs.

before you defenestrate your audio interface, you may want to do a bit more with your system to make sure it is running smoothly.

Usually, *internal* hard drives are IDE, EIDE, SCSI, etc. -- but not Firewire.

Protools (as well as most other recording software I've used) works better and faster if you have a dedicated drive for audio files. Especially with a big session.

DRD32,

I was recently having this same problem (same error message and error code). My hard drive was going bad. It hadn't completely failed yet, but was on it's way out. I replaced the drive and the errors stopped.

Hope this helps,

Greg
