PT9 CPU Overload Ruins Live Set
Hey Guys - I am running PT9 on a 13" MacBook Pro 4gb memory, 2.3ghz, 250gb SSD Internal Drive and a ProFire 2626.
My band uses ProTools to run backing tracks live, very simple stuff. Some key parts, string parts, swells etc..., the click is printed for each song, and there are are no plug ins. 8 total sends to Front of House. I used to run the tracks off of a LaCie 1TB drive via firewire, but we were having some issues with daisy chaining, so we installed a solid state in the macbook, and now run everything off of the internal, while the profire uses the firewire port. This fixed the problem we used to have, but now I am getting a CPU Overload Error which is a huge deal while doing a live performance. Here are my playback engine settings: H/W Buffer Size: 1024 Samples Host Processors: 2 CPU Usage Limit: 85% (I think I should bump this to 90) Delay Comp Engine : Short - 1023 samples DAE Playback Size Level 2. Could turning off delay comp help at all? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance. |

I'm assuming you are simply playing back 8 audio streams? No active VI's?

Re: PT9 CPU Overload Ruins Live Set
Correct, no VI's. Pretty staightforward, I don't get why there would be a CPU overload, but sure enough.

Re: PT9 CPU Overload Ruins Live Set
Personally, I think that Pro Tools 9 has an issue with other interfaces. I can't even record one track with my Aurora Lynx's without this problem. Tried everything Avid said, tried everything Lynx said, still no go. Hoping they get enough of these complaints that they will fix this.

Re: PT9 CPU Overload Ruins Live Set
I used to run backing tracks with click live through my 2626 (via macbook pro 13") on PTMP 7 through to 8.4 flawlessly, Since crossgrading to 9...not a chance!! just from tracking audio at home with cpu overload on the slightest thing was enough to make me totally avoid using it on stage.

Re: PT9 CPU Overload Ruins Live Set
a) SSD
b) internal I can't remember if this changed in 9, but I'm pretty sure you still need to run your session file off a SEPARATE drive from your system/program drive. |

Re: PT9 CPU Overload Ruins Live Set
Go back to Pro Tools 8 ... dont risk it in live! ... Also ... try running from a separate Drive ... it should work fine.

Re: PT9 CPU Overload Ruins Live Set
Also try decreasing CPU limit. Try 80%
