H/W Buffer size: 256 (but I change it to 512 or 1024) * * * * *
#Kontakt player os x 10.6.8 how to#
I do have some screen shots that I could share with you (of my Kontakt settings, Pro Tools settings, etc), but I don’t know how to attach them to this post – so I’ve typed out some of the settings here below: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * so maybe the problem is a wrong setting somewhere? * * * * *īasically, since I'm new to VE Pro, LASS and Kontakt, I was hoping someone could let me know if there are some optimum settings I need to have in order for this to work smoothly (settings in VE Pro, Kontakt and Pro Tools 9). I thought that having 16 GB of RAM (which is the maximum I can put it in my imac) would be plenty for this kind of task. It seems like my system is completely overloaded, for some reason. It keeps playing for up to 20 seconds, before is finally stops. Sometimes, the problem is so bad (sluggish) that I hit STOP in Pro Tools, and it won't stop. I should also mention that when I have my strings template up and running in Pro Tools (and VE Pro), even when my Pro Tools transport is stopped (nothing playing), my CPU reading (activity monitor) is hovering around 10% - But I constantly see spikes every couple of seconds. The problem lessens a bit, but it becomes impossible to play a decent performance because of the latency at this setting. So I end up increasing the buffer to 1024 in that case. Try increasing the H/W Buffer size or removing some plugins." * * * * * Sometimes, Pro Tools just flat out stops and I get an error message saying the following: * * * * * My CPU (RTAS) meter in Pro Tools starts to dance around and spike. What's been happening is that when I try to record a MIDI track in Pro Tools, everything gets sluggish. By the way, I usually change my Pro Tools buffer setting between 2, depending on how much latency I can handle. What I've been doing is opening up Pro Tools 9 (Native), putting an instance of VE Pro on an instrument track - putting 1 or more instances of Kontakt in that instance of VE Pro - bringing up multiple patches of LASS (different string articulations). Triton Classic + Nanokontrol2 (MIDI controllers) * * * * *Ģ separate Firewire drives (1 for sound libraries - and the other for Pro Tools audio drive) * * * * * * * * * * Imac Quadcore, 3.4 GHz, i7 processor - 16 GB Ram - OS X 10.6.8 * * * * *Īpogee Rosetta 800/96 audio interface (via firewire) * * * * * First off, here are the specs of my system: * * * * * I'm having a problem and I sure hope someone can help me. Ok, this is my first time posting on this forum. Hi everyone * * * * * First of all, sorry if this is hard to read - and please forgive the asteriks between the sentences - I don't know why my text all came out with no paragraphs or line breaks.
