FW Drive qualified only for 24 tracks?
Ok so DigiTech what do I do about this? You guy have listed that FW800 drives are only qualified for 24 tracks per drive at 48/24. So what happens when you upgrade to the MP Tool Kit and have access to 32 tracks??

Euh... I might get flamed and targeted as a smart-ass (which is not intended BTW)...

On a side note, you should already have 32 tracks (unless running a VERY old version of PT), the MP Tool Kit will give you 48 tracks. Cheers |

Re: FW Drive qualified only for 24 tracks?
woa yea the track count concerning the MPTK was an error, I just for got for a second. I am having issues with my FW800 Lacie d2 Tripple interface drive. I dont know what the problem is it just seems that all of a sudden after upgrading to a 002 and getting another d2 extreme (storage only) I am getting all these H/W Buffer errors. Its REALLY bad when you cant record one stereo track in a session that contains only like 18 tracks. How would I go about splitting the sessions across two drives without raid-ing them (which isnt supported)?

I don't mean to high jack the thread, but could you point me to online MP Toolkit documentation?

Wouldn't you use Round Robin? If you have the Extreme (2 drive raid) hook it up FW800 and see if it's good. Do not use FW400 and FW800 on PT at the same time.

ok 1. What is Round Robin? and 2. I use ONLY FW800 drives as I figured more bandwidth helps 3. The extreme d2 is currently transfer only

My issue is with the hard drives. I have never seen this many issues, even with larger sessions in LE. |

Re: FW Drive qualified only for 24 tracks?
To split across multiple drives:
1. During recording, you can use Round Robin. Set any drive you don't want Pro Tools to record to as a 'Transfer' drive in the Workspace. 2. For sessions that have already been recorded - create a new Audio Files folder on the other drive, drag and drop audio files from one drive to the other, then change the Disk Allocation in Pro Tools to play those tracks from the other drive. |
