When trying to open the PowerMix deck in Pro Tools, the DAE Playback Buffer ...

When trying to open the PowerMix deck in Pro Tools, the DAE Playback Buffer keeps resetting itself to 0. As of DAE/DSI 3.1, if a Disk I/O is installed, the DAE Playback Buffer will always reset itself to 0. To switch to PowerMix deck with a Disk I/O installed in the machine: - Launch DAE and switch the Playback Buffer. - Quit DAE and launch Pro Tools, holding down the N key, and select the PowerMix engine. This way the Playback engine dialog will come up and the higher DAE buffer setting should remain. [Page View]

No audio when playing a session, or Mac freezes when instantiating a Plug-In ...

No audio when playing a session, or Mac freezes when instantiating a Plug-In on a DSP Farm PCI/II in a PTIII PCI system (PT 4.0). This could be caused by running DigiSystem INIT (DSI) 3.1.1 or earlier with a rev II DSP Farm. Although there is no functional difference between DSP Farm revs, DSP Farms that have serial numbers starting with "FG" require DAE/DSI 3.2 or later for proper operation. Note: The Magma 7 Slot Chassis is not supported by DSI 3.2 or 3.2.1. Magma 7 Slot Chassis users should be running DAE/DSI 3.1.1 or 3.2.3. [Page View]
