With your system as poorly set up as it is, I would start by addressing the issues below and if still stuck then try rolling back to some earlier versions of Pro Tools. Systems optimization instructions are in your Pro Tools 11 Installation Guide and also under the "Help us Help You - READ THIS Before Posting!" link up at the top of this web page.ġ1.3.1 is giving some users problems, solving problems for other users. In theory I should be running a modest mix session (I'm just using 27 Stereo tracks x8 Avid Channel strip, Altiverb 7 x 4, waves Ultra Maximizer x1, 40sec HD MXF video, 24bit 48KHz) at 32 or 64 buffer samples without interruption no?
SAVE CLIP AUDIO OVERLOAD INSTALL
My system is very new and clean ie I did a fresh install of all my software when I got the computer.
SAVE CLIP AUDIO OVERLOAD MAC
I laboriously updated all my Plug-ins when I set the Mac up. Are they all up to date and compatible with the OS X and apro Tools Version? Move all plugins out of their directory to somewhere else, trash preferences, and start Pro Tools, it will automagically back the standard Avud plugins, what happens if you try again? What standard troubleshooting have you done? Trash prefs? Tried starting with a new empty session?Īs always plugins are a suspect, even if not instantiated. I have the G-RAID, 003 and the Blackmagic all on separate busses. Is there anything else on the 003 Firewire bus?Īre the G-RAID and Blackmagic on completely independent Thubderbolt busses? There are three busses coming out the Mac Pro on 6 ports, make sure these are on independent busses, I would hope that is not an issue, but just test it.

Is the computer fully optimized? Every last thing done? If you have HD are you using timeline cache? How large a cache? The Drive is an unpartitioned, Dual SATA III 7200 RPM, RAID 0Īll my samples are on the Internal 1 TB SSD drive I keep all my Video and Audio together on the G-Raid in Session Folders. Where are all your files? Video, audio, samples? On what exact drive/ partitions. I'm also getting serious problems when doing realtime bounces (offline works fine). I'm loathe to keep bumping up the H/W buffer as I spent a lot of money to have a low latency workstation. Baring in mind AAF with MXF is an Avid format, surly this should run without problems?. The Disk meter isn't registering at all so I don't think the HD is the problem. I'm working from an AAF with MXF HD video (633MB) which looks like its chewing up quite a lot of RAM but I'm still only at 33% (of 32Gig). I have the System Usage window up and I'm barely hitting 8% of CPU power yet I'm getting overload messages whilst simply editing audio. Today I have been working on a 40second trailer with no VI's and minimal plug-ins.

I mainly do music and sound design to picture, I use a lot of VI's and plug-ins and I output my video with a Blackmagic Intensity Thunderbolt. Having invested serious money in a new 12 Core Mac Pro, it pains me to say I'm having CPU performance issues Running Pro Tools 11.3.1
