PT8 strange happenings
Hi
This maybe on the wrong thread, but I have noticed 2 strange happenings with PT8. Firstly, frequently PT cannot load a .ptf file from the "recent" file list - it 'hangs' and i have to force quit. Secondly, and this is proving a bit of a problem, most of my plug-ins, including the digi plugins, wont allow real-time adjustment - ie. if the track is playing and i am adjusting parameters of EQ or Comp, the values go 'crazy', the plugin drags every value the opposite direction to the value I am trying to enter. Any one noticed this? David PT8 Mac Pro (10.5.6) 4 int hard drives 6GB ram BFD2 Miroslav Waves NPP Komplete Classics IK T-racks |

Re: PT8 strange happenings
I just upgraded this morning and I've not had anything like what you're describing-
I have noticed that the first time opening a pre 8.0 session it takes a little longer to open it, but then it's pretty quick no issues with plug-ins, Digi's , "approved" plug-ins, or wrapped Thus far I've goy few nits... though a couple of wishes for somewhere down the line.... |

Re: PT8 strange happenings
I have also had an issue with my new pro tools 8 today. When I was using Amplitube 2 and adjusted the parameters in real-time the playing suddenly stopped. This is normal since amplitube is a bit heavy on my macbook, but afterwards the mbox stopped working. The lights were on, but no sound. Not in itunes or other programmes either. The only thing to do is unplug it and then plug it in again. I've never had this problem before, and it happens everytime I use amplitube og guitar rig.. Any solutions?

Re: PT8 strange happenings
Note: I have been having major problems with IK plug ins i.e sampltank, Amplitube, T-racks etc. Ik know this and are working on it but for the time being I suggest you disable all their plug ins.. it has crashed my computer twice..grrr. not happy about it...
good luck.. s |

Re: PT8 strange happenings
I have Amplitube2, CSR and Tracks... just played with all 3 on tracks in a session and no issues making changes
now if I add the plug-in while a session is playing back it will temporarily "stall", but after that no further '...delays' I'm hoping I'm just lucky, as I expected issues with the upgrade did you do a clean install (uninstalled previous version)? I did... mainly due to be the paranoid type |

Re: PT8 strange happenings
Hi Pro tools 8 seems to behave weirdly upon starting and selecting any of the templates i get the error The File name and path is 262 characters . The maximum length is 248 characters for creating files . this may cause problems when using pro tools.. Well it certainly does . i click ok i then get the error Could not complete the open session.... command because the filename or extension is too long (206) i click ok wont let me into pro tools
Ive contacted support the suggest this This problem sounds like it is caused by corrupt preference files or databases. Please follow these instructions and delete these files. DAE Preferences folder for Pro Tools 6 and later: Start menu > My Computer > Local Disk (C:) or correct Hard Drive > Click "Show the contents of this drive", if files aren't showing > Program Files > Common Files > Digidesign > DAE > Right-click on the DAE Prefs folder and delete. Pro Tools Preferences (all versions of Pro Tools): Start Menu > My Computer > Local Disk (C:) or correct Hard Drive > Documents and Settings > Your user file folder > Application Data > Digidesign > right-click on Pro Tools Preferences.PTP file and delete. Empty Recycle Bin and Restart. (If the Application Data file is not showing: Tools Menu > Folder Options > View Tab > Select "Show Hidden Files and Folders" > Click Apply and OK. Click on Back arrow and start again at Local Disk (C:) and repeat steps. Once you have done all of this please empty the recycling bin, reboot the PC and try launching the template again. Regards, It worked first time now its reverted to doing the same but this time doing the above doesnt correct the problem at all. so i cant get into pro tools . oh yeah the file name i was using is far less in characters it was new song3. Any Suggestions have tried uninstalling Pro tools 8 and reinstalling Many thanks |

Re: PT8 strange happenings
Well, trashing preferences has not solved either problem. I can get around the first by quitting PT and opening the recently closed file.
But I cannot get around the 2nd problem. Imagine if you could not adjust any parameter in real time on the basic sound processing plugins (ie EQ, comp). I mean this happens with the basic Digi EQ, Comp/Exp, etc, as well as 3rd part plugs. It is truly bizarre. I hope Digi Tech Support post a reply, as I need a hand. Otherwise I am enjoying the new PT8. thanks David |

Re: PT8 strange happenings
+1 for the issue of not being able to open session from the recently opened list upon pro tools startup. I have not had the issue of not being able to adjust plugins during playback.
