How many instrument tracks with plugins does anyone get before having problems? After 3 I get playback hiccups and the the occasional "Lost communication with hardware device." I'm using an iMac 20", 2.2 GHz Intel, 4 GB RAM, 750 GB internal HD, 500 GB external FW 800 external HD for audio files. I've tried all sorts of settings changes with little success. I just upgraded to Pro Tools 8 LE, but it's the same as version 7.4.
Maybe the workflow should be to record a MIDI performance, bounce to audio track, then repeat. Awkward, that.  |

My experience has been: How many plug ins ? What type of Plug Ins ? Can I bus the instruments to an Aux when the instruments are using the same plug in ? If you're using a lot of "time" adjusting plugins -- reverbs, echos, etc -- you may have problems at any CPU speed. Just look at what you're using, and see if you have any duplication going on -- if so, bus them to an Aux channel and share the plugin.
I can run Reason 4, Trilogy, RMX, Tassman, Albino seemlessly -- if I add Echoboy or a bunch reverbs into each of the tracks -- "baby comes down" --lol Hope that helps ! |
