New & More Helpful Error Messages in 2021.6.0

[Flyingrockstudios]

Has anyone noticed that the error messages in 2021.6.0 now actually have useful information and tips for resolving the issue? I just got a AAE -9173 error, but instead of just some general tech speak, it actually lists the problem plug-in by name, which track and insert it's on, and some specific suggestions about what to change beside just "increasing the buffer size", etc.

I always thought that Avid should give us more than just cryptic error codes in PT, and they have! Hooray!

I just saw it in a session. lol

Yeah. Its real cool. It flagged my sonorworks... Finally know what is the issue or problem plugin...

This is cool for those that get 9173's. Can't remember the last time I got one of those.

It's tremendously helpful and a much welcomed new feature.

You can actually see who the offender is.

Slate Digital trigger - I'm talking to you.

Halts Pro Tools in it's tracks every time it's clicked on in a session.

Now that specific plug-ins are listed in error messages, I wonder how or if that could change how plug-in developers troubleshoot and resolve their issues? I also wonder if Avid’s feedback reporting data would send each developer a list of their error data? Would I be expecting too much coordination between Avid and 3rd parties with that wish, or not?

Well at least we can just stop using the developers that bogs down the system and causes crashes now. Thank you avid.

I have one session that is still throwing -9173 errors at me with 2021.6 and I'm not seeing the info about which plugin is causing it.

Is there a setting or preference that needs to be checked to see that info?
