Could Not Complete the "Bounce to Disk....

[fifty8th1]

Here is a new one for me... Couldn't bounce down for an hour...yeeee.

Here was the messages that came up..

Could Not Complete the "Bounce to Disk..." command because:
Assertion in "FF_AudioProperty.cpp, line 33.

I never found the problem...I just kept rebooting and unplugging anything that wasn't
nessesary for the system to run. It worked the next day OK. I just got done with DAE errors last week...

Protools 6.4.1 Mac OS 10.3.7 ProTools Mix24 Dual 1 gig Mac 2gigs memory

Thanks for anything at all....If I can learn what this error means maybe I can find where it originated.

Hi,

What do you have your DAE playback buffer set to? Usually the default of 2 is best. I have seen this assertion error on a bounce when the DAE playback buffer is set to 8. Hope this helps.

Thanks,

ummm... THANKS DigiTech!

I have had this issue too (about 100 times)... and "yes" my DAE buffer setting was "8." Changing it back to "2" allowed me to bounce(!)

I'm really kinda speechless... i'm currently in the process of reinstalling "my life" back to a reformatted start-up drive and when that bounce error popped up, my heart just sank....

I'll keep on keeping on, i guess.

Just another thought - the boot drive needs to have ample space. I believe that any bounces to disk (including bounce to movie), create a temp file on the boot drive 1st. So you need at least the size of the bounced file, available on the boot drive.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but I've had problems bouncing when I tried to get away with a smaller boot partition, though it may have come with a more appropriate warning.
