5.1 bounce to disk issues.

[rbeggs]

I have upgraded to 5.1on a previously functioning G4 dual 450 OS 9.0.4. Mix+ system. Now, when performing a bounce to disk with a stereo pair (dual mono). I cannot sustain the bounce for more than 14 seconds without getting a cryptic message saying, "Bounce handler cannot keep up. Try "Convert After Bounce". Needless to say, following this advice makes no diff. The bounce handler, whoever he is, can't seem to cut it. Digi should hire someone else, though I'll admit that possibly it's the handlers working conditions. I'll accept suggestions. Anybody else have this issue?

Yes. The error message is not very helpful. Sorry about that.

wrt your trouble bouncing, do you happen to have a lot (or any) plug-in windows open?
If so, it may help to close them before bouncing.

Paul, thanks for the reply. No, I have no plug ins open. It remains a mystery.

Have you tried bouncing to a different drive?

Also, what DAE buffer size are you using?
What disk cache size?

Paul, DAE memory is 50mb, Buffer size #2, Disk cache is 512k.
I can bounce stereo (dual mono) to a different drive. but not to the same drive.
a mono file can bounce to its own drive and another drive.

Tell me why a 16 bit session bounce defaults to:

Multiple mono files
24 bit

And as soon as you change the dual to stereo interleaved, the conversion buttons become un-greyed, and you MUST select one.

So now real time bounces, take LONGER that real time.

Why did this change?
